A slow, mechanical breath arrives before the Dark Lord even steps fully into the room, and every kid goes quiet for a second before the giggling takes over. He plays the villain-you-love-to-boo role with total commitment, deep voice and all, but he's careful to keep it fun rather than frightening. He challenges the birthday child to a friendly duel before anything else, and he loses on purpose more often than he wins.
San Diego families can book Dark Lord for birthdays and events anywhere in San Diego County — Chula Vista, Oceanside, Carlsbad included.

The suit is a matte-black, heavily armored panel build with a flowing cape and a helmet engineered with a built-in voice modulator for that unmistakable deep breathing effect, all finished to hold shape through a full afternoon of duels.
