Descent: Halloween Edition
Something wicked this way comes. Conveniently, it has a dance floor.
Halloween is creeping closer, and Descent is returning to the Red Room for a night of spooky, strange, dramatic, and questionably practical things to dance in.
Come dressed for Halloween, dressed for the dance floor, or dressed exactly the same way you do every month and enjoy the rare satisfaction of being seasonally appropriate.
We’ll be filling the night with Goth, Industrial, EBM, Darkwave, Metal, Dark 80s, and whatever else keeps the dance floor moving.
Costumes are absolutely welcome, but never required. Whether you’ve spent three months constructing something elaborate or you’re planning to put on black clothes and insist you’re “the crushing inevitability of death,” you’ll fit right in.
Come dance, catch up with familiar faces, meet some new ones, and celebrate Halloween with Vancouver’s dark alternative community.
