“Moonlight may not be as bright as sunshine, but it has a certain magic that sunshine just can’t touch.”
Maybe monsters aren’t always under the bed, sometimes they’re the whispers in our heads. But even they can befriend the lonely heart.

“Haunted houses aren’t scary, they’re just full of stories waiting to be told.”
We’re passionate about the Goth scene. We love the music, clothing, dancing, and community. The first true “Goth” single is usually attributed to Bauhaus’s 1979 single, Bela Lugosi’s Dead. This song is “Goth” in so many ways: the lyrics are filled with Gothic tropes (e.g. “The bats have left the bell tower, The victims have been bled”), plus Bela Lugosi was an actor famed for depicting Count Dracula on the stage and in the Tod Browning 1931 film adaptation. The sound of the music is also distinct: the song is 9 minutes of echoing, atmospheric sounds, transporting listeners to a vast, deserted landscape. How Goth is that!? (the answer is: very!) Even the cover art of the single is a still from early Gothic horror film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
