Friday, October 4, Videotheque kicks off a month of horror screenings with a Dark Shadows binge curated by yours truly. I picked out five episodes filled with tarot, witchcraft and maybe— just, maybe— a creature of the night. The episodes will make sense whether you’re new to Dark Shadows or if you, like me, have seen all 1200+ episodes. Doors open at 8:30 p.m. for the screening, which starts at 9 p.m., and tickets are $12. You can RSVP on Partiful. 4102 N. Figueroa St., Highland Park 90031.
Read “Lost in Time Watching Dark Shadows” if you want to catch up on the series.
On Saturday, October 5, you can catch me playing indie and ‘80s with Midnight Cities over at The Moroccan Lounge. This is an 18+ event and it’s only $5. Dance to your favorite jams from The Cure, New Order, Crystal Castles, Interpol and so much more from 9:30 p.m. until 2 a.m. 901 1st St. DTLA 90012.
Keep reading for a small selection of other events happening in L.A. between tonight, October 3, and Wednesday, October 5. For more, check out my Get Into the L.A. Groove column for Discover Los Angeles.
