Nosferatu Festival Presents: A Vampire Art Gallery
On the occasion of ol’ Bram Stoker’s b-day, it behooves one to pay tribute to the fanged forefather he created – or rather, the vamp who is illegally based on Stoker’s IP. Goth shop Bloody Rose plays host to a coven of creative works based on them vampires, with 13 artists contributing pieces alongside a market of creepy cool vendors. Bloodbangers provided by DJ Blaqk Traxx behind the decks. – James ScottSat., Nov. 9 -

Slam Portal IX: Emogeddon
Come and see the big boys, girls, and friends beyond the binary slam bodies together in the epic dance we call professional wrestling. While these ain’t the same bulked up bods you’ll find on certain televised wrestling shows – starts with a dubyah and ends with a bad contract – these wrestlers have all the heart and soul needed to bring a total banger of an event. This round’s all about angst: emos the world over getting their studded bracelets and eyeliner prepped for a riot. Catch the action ringside with a brew in your hand – or take advantage of Central Machine Works’ autumnal cocktail menu. – James ScottSat., Nov. 9

Creek Show
Who remembers when Waller Creek was just a spooky walkway that never seemed worth the trouble? It was revitalized years ago, and with that upgrade came the annual tradition of filling the waterway with site-specific, illuminated artworks. A decade on, the spectacle continues with a big ol’ dino skeleton, spectral sea vessels, and a few oversized (to put it mildly) googly eyes. The exhibition is open every day from 6-10pm with some nights offering discounted or free admission. Reservations must be made online beforehand. – James RenovitchThursdays-Saturdays.

House of Torment Haunted House
The big bone daddy of Austin haunted houses has sat on its throne of skulls and scares for 23 glorious Samhains. This year, it’s throwing open the gates to three attractions around the cursed town of Blackthorne: Beware the insectoid invaders of the Arrival before coming face-to-snarling-face with the Frail One, the keeper of a mysterious and malice-filled chest at the heart of the Abandoned. For retro chills, Torment ’99 brings back both your VHS faves and the black-and-white classic monsters for double the old-school scares. If that sounds a little too much for your nerves or the kids under your watchful eye, then come by 11am-2pm on Sunday, Oct. 27 for the lights-on Trick or Treat tour, complete with candy stations and monsters that only want to make you happy. – Richard WhittakerSept. 13-Nov. 9 -
