@ Savage |
You wanted a Retro party -
we threw one, and it kicked ass. You wanted an old style goth night. We dusted
of the velvet and it was totally depressing (but in a good way). You wanted old
Industrial so we bought you rivet retro and it was hard, hard and insane
amounts of fun. Savage Garden has gone one step further and combined all three
into one massive blow out party of Retro stylings. Savage Garden, 550 Queen St. W. With
Dj's Ivan/Pale. This will become a regular Thursday night (see www.toronto-goth.com/news

Premiere of ABADDON: The film of the Gothic Opera |
Abaddon | experimental rave
opera | 60min | USA | dir. Pamela Theodotou A film adaption of the multimedia
rave opera theatrically produced in the infamous club Mother in New York City.
After taking a hit of 'china white', a deadly form of pure powdered heroin, a
musician meets his false muse in a nightmarish hallucination that will lead to
his death. As his ever present companion in his last hour, she tries to lull
him into giving up his soul to his addiction and pain, to slip into
unconsciousness and die without reflection or redemption. Then John is visited
by another spirit, Suriel, an angel of compassion and known by most as the
angel of death. The two spirits struggle for control over John's mind and body,
asking him to decide between oblivion and enlightenment. Tranzac Club,
292 Brunswick off of Bloor St. W. screening at 9:30 p.m. , party at 11:00 p.m.

humor with the classic horror and a touch of The Rocky Horror Picture Show!

wife, now a vengeful ghost - is a literal dead ringer for the Mistress of the
Dark. What's a girl to do but break out in a song and dance? Elvira's Haunted
