A pull down screen was present, but mercifully it was left retracted, so the most disturbingly gory scenes were muted by the stone, brick and peeling plaster wall on which the images were cast. Grindhouse favorite “Evil Dead” was projected onto a wall adjacent to the dance floor.

The DJ booth is perched way up in a far corner overlooking the dance floor, where celebrity deejays from the Goth scene, Sean Templar, Erik Aengel and Matt V Christ carried out their duties, still accessible to requests.Ĭelebrity guest host Colin Cunningham, current star of the Syfy Channel’s “Blood Drive” series opened the event and, along with Sir William made comments, ran raffles and introduced exotic dancer Cassandra Rosebeetle who performed a striptease while decorously applying theatrical blood to her lovely and mostly exposed physique. The Redrum, however, took place in the cellar below this, where an adequate dance floor and a small, raised stage are situated a few steps down, separated by railings from the basement bar area. The Bowery Electric has a nicely decorated upstairs bar area where top-forties from the 70s and r & b classics prevail. Impresario and host Sir William Welles dedicated it with the theme “Grindhouse,” referring to the cult interest in exploitation style, low budget horror movies, popular among denizens of the dark-scene underground culture. In keeping with the tradition of holding this event on those Sunday nights which precede Monday legal holidays, September 3 marked another iteration of the Redrum Ball. We also popped downstairs to the Crypt which was just opening up, and were soon tempted over to Area 51, the other basement hangout, where DJ Mykill Hrunka’s heavy-duty industrial mix encouraged us to briefly punish the pavement before calling it an early night and heading home to prepare for the next day’s adventure. For atmosphere, the ultra horrific gore-fest, the original “Hellraiser” movie, was showing on the main floor big screen and on the various monitors around the bar. On the main floor, upholding the standard, were DJs Damian Plague and DJ Ash who motivated dancers with some synthwave as well as beloved standards from the Sisters, Wolfsheim and Siouxsie and the Banshees. The theme this night and every first Friday, was “Infernoir” a portmanteau of the words “Inferno” and “Noir,” and sees itself as an import of a similar club night originating in Germany.

So Friday night September 1, we stepped in early, taking advantage of the policy of free entry for ladies before 11 pm. A weekend seems incomplete without an evening at QXT’s, the metropolitan area’s premier and only dedicated gothic dance club and watering hole in the heart of gritty, industrial Newark, NJ.
