A marvellous and mysterious event…a Halloween celebration of the extravagant and the grotesque…an all-night spectacle of atmosphere, costumery and diverse entertainments…an explosion of live music, dancing, circus arts, fire and late-night revelry, snake-charmed into an absinthe-fueled early-morning speakeasy. Also, Miss Scorpio’s Birthday!

The main event takes over two full floors of Brooklyn Lyceum, a creepy and cavernous turn-of-century bathhouse with soaring ceilings and arched windows.

VIP absinthe den, $30, 9:30pm-late:
A few blocks’ walk from the mayhem at the Lyceum is the G&S loft—2,000sq ft of brick walls and wood floors of classic raw Brooklyn goodness, with a huge roof. Open all night for only VIP-level tickets, it’ll be set up as a lush absinthe lounge with comfy seating and low light. Expect more live music and exotic beats by DJ Poodlecannon, plus a brass-led parade to the Lyceum for the official party start. Absinthe and other mind-altering potions by The House of St Eve (yes, t.h.o.s.e. cocktails…).

*An additional $20 gets you a commemorative Masquerade Macabre hip flask engraved with the monster hybrid Victorian couple from the event flyer.

Costumes required:
Inspiration: masked villainy, macabre carnival, aberrations of nature, cabinet of curiosities, dark Victoriana, evil funhouse, steampunk, Jan Svankmaier & Brothers Quay films, Freaks, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Think dark & creepy. Or dark & funny. Or whatever your Halloween costume happens to be. But if we have to ask, it’s not a costume.

#steampunk awesome: wearable automaton top hat sculpture by @dugnorth. #MasqMacabre costume idea?

Somehow playa-perfect piece of #streetart in graffiti-famous Clarion Alley in SF.
