"Evil is a point of view."

The Brat Prince has returned.

Join us for a decadent night celebrating the premiere of The Vampire Lestat — a gathering for immortals, beautiful monsters, tragic lovers, ancient queens, reckless fledglings, and devotees of the rich, seductive universe of the immortal Anne Rice.

Step into a candlelit world of velvet, lace, blood-red glamour, forbidden longing, dark beauty, immortal drama, and delicious chaos.

Come prepared to mourn beautifully, philosophize dramatically, seduce recklessly, and revel in the extravagant spirit of the Brat Prince himself.

🕯️ WHAT TO EXPECT

🦇 THE VAMPIRE LESTAT WATCH PARTY

The night begins in an immersive gothic salon inspired by the salons, crypts, theatres, courts, cathedrals, and decadent drawing rooms of Anne Rice’s vampire chronicles.

🩸 Candlelit ambiance & dark romantic décor

🥀 Gothic music, darkwave, classical & decadent atmosphere

🍷 Themed “blood” libations & vampire refreshments

🕯️ Opening ritual honoring desire, immortality, beauty, rebellion & longing

📺 Community screening of The Vampire Lestat

Whether you worship at the altar of Lestat de Lioncourt, ache for Louis, adore Armand, channel the fierce majesty of Akasha, mourn with Gabrielle, or simply delight in immortal dysfunction — this night invites you into the blood-soaked poetry of the Anne Rice universe.

🔥 THE VAMPIRE SALON

Following the screening, the veil thins.

The watch party evolves into a late-night Vampire Salon — an immersive social gathering inspired by gothic ritual, decadent aesthetics, archetypal play, shadow, seduction, beauty, power, longing, and the timeless hunger that lives at the heart of Anne Rice’s world.

Guests are invited to mingle, embody their immortal alter egos, lounge dramatically, flirt outrageously, philosophize about eternity, dance, play, connect, or simply bask in the atmosphere of nocturnal decadence.

Participation in any activity is always optional.

You are welcome to observe, socialize, play, embody your chosen immortal persona, or simply spend the evening haunting the room magnificently.

🧷 CONSENT & COMMUNITY CULTURE

This is a consent-centered, body-positive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, sex-positive, inclusive community event.

We ask all guests to help co-create a space rooted in:

• Enthusiastic consent

• Respect for boundaries

• Clear communication

• Inclusion & non-judgment

• Personal responsibility

• Care for self and others

No touching, photography, negotiation, or interaction without consent.

As any wise immortal might tell you: desire is invited — entitlement is not.

“Drink from me… and live forever.”

Or at least stay out far too late dressed in velvet playing with strangers.
