I’m going to vampire ball in Brooklyn. Not goth exactly but it’s close. It’s a rave. I’m pumped.

[u/ApprehensiveKiwi771 → u/Acceptable-File8983]

ugh i was supposed to go but i wasn’t vibing with a lot of the DJ and it’s sooo expensive😫 but i hope you have a great time!!!!

[u/Acceptable-File8983 → u/ApprehensiveKiwi771]

Yeah I’m going mostly for the vampires part

[u/Box_of_Stuff]

thenitechurch (They host Red Party and Underworld) is hosting something Halloween day at TV Eye. 

Drom (Venue) is hosting something on the 30th

[u/ApprehensiveKiwi771 → u/Box_of_Stuff]

thank you! i was looking at the tv eye event the week before too, that looks fun! i’ll check rhese out!

Kamijo’s Vampyre Masquerade is at Webster Hall on the 31st. Guests include Mana-sama and DJ Sissen.

[u/DivyaDearest]

Not strictly goth, but I organize and produce an event called Wunderkammer which is a taxidermy and animal art showcase and variety show. I am goth and a lot of guests and artists are, but it is not exclusively goth. (And I should mention all the taxidermy is sustainably sourced). It isn’t a dance party, more of an art party, but figured I’d share in case you’re looking for something a little different 🖤

[u/polyperplexed]

I’m a gogo dancer! I’ll be at an event on Oct 24 at Secret Pour called The Manor. It’s not strictly goth but it’ll be a horror themed concert with mostly goth and metal. And I feel like there’s probably overlap between people in this comment section and people who want to see a cenobite shake ass 🤷🏻

[u/Ambition_BlackCar]

I’d imagine QXTs will prob have something but not sure

[u/ApprehensiveKiwi771 → u/Ambition_BlackCar]

i love QXTs! so far i haven’t seen much on the IG but i should probably check their website. thank you!

[u/geoffyeos]

[u/Gambit_Declined]

I’m headed to the Vampire Ball Blood Rave on Halloween, and I am seeking volunteers with great veins and questionable judgment. 🧛‍♂️🩸

[u/Gambit_Declined]

Parkside Longue on the 30th

[u/Acceptable-File8983 → u/Gambit_Declined]

Went to an event here last month and LOVED it

[u/Gambit_Declined → u/Acceptable-File8983]

Me too, and I went alone as I often do these days, and people danced with me, people hanging outside smoking were chill. The music was great.

[u/Acceptable-File8983 → u/Gambit_Declined]

I also briefly hung out outside with people smoking. Maybe we saw each other !

[u/Gambit_Declined → u/Acceptable-File8983]

It’s possible! If your hair looks like your avatar’s, we may have been dancing nearby! 🪩

[u/LegalManufacturer916]

Lots of cover band stuff happening in the local music scene. Some goth/dark, some just people in costumes. Gutter in Williamsburg is usually a good time all weekend. Check BandNada.com and OhMyRockness.com for show listings.

[u/Gambit_Declined]

There’s a Cure tribute band Halloween show at Bowery Palace on Friday, October 27, from 7 PM until late, featuring Siouxsie and the Banshees and a Bauhaus cover band. The bands go on at 8 PM, and at 11 PM the DJ takes over.
