What we’re about
Calling all goths!
Welcome, fellow inhabitants of the shadows, both night dwellers and daylight wanderers, to our gothic haven. This is a space where darkness, mystery, and all things unconventional reign supreme. If you’re drawn to the macabre, the eerie, and the beautifully strange, you’ve found your place. From haunting melodies of gothic music to the chilling atmosphere of horror films, from twisted art to spine-chilling performances, we embrace everything that stirs the soul and raises goosebumps.
But don’t be deceived – while we celebrate the dark, it’s not all doom and gloom here. We find joy in the shadows, laughter in the unexpected, and beauty in the odd and peculiar. With our diverse interests and quirky sense of humor, we’ve created a space where you can unapologetically embrace your individuality, free from judgment.
This is an inclusive, LGBTQ-friendly community where everyone is welcome to express themselves openly. We take pride in celebrating the uniqueness of each person, united by our shared passion for the strange and the spooky. Here, we honor diversity and individuality.
While our hearts may beat to the rhythm of gothic beats, we aren’t confined to the dark. We also enjoy the occasional sunny day at the park, beach outings, and even heart-racing adventures at amusement parks. We believe in embracing life’s full spectrum—whether it’s a gothic celebration or a carefree day under the sun, every moment has its own magic.
So, if you find beauty in the eerie, delight in the strange, and your soul resonates with the twisted, join us. Together, we’ll explore the depths of our obsessions and dive deeper into the delightful oddities of the gothic world. Welcome to our cryptic family—your dark, wonderful corner of the world awaits.

Film Screening
The Room is a notoriously bizarre 2003 film, written, directed, produced by, and starring the enigmatic Tommy Wiseau. Infamous for its perplexing narrative, inexplicable dialogue, awkward performances, and chaotic editing, it has earned a cult following as the epitome of "so-bad-it’s-good" cinema.
Despite Wiseau's earnest intention to create a dramatic masterpiece about love and betrayal, the film inadvertently veers into surreal comedy territory, making it wildly beloved at midnight screenings.
