Calling all creatures of the night...Get ready to sink your fangs into the hottest Halloween party in Austin. The VORTEX is rolling out the blood-red carpet for The Bloody Ball: A Vampyre Soirée. This decadent, dark, and delicious cocktail party will have you delighting in all things sinfully supernatural. One night only.
What’s on the menu?
Club Juke: Dance ‘til dawn with DJ Cysūm spinning sounds for the damned and divine.
Burlesque & Jazz: Step into the sultry soul of New Orleans and light a candle at the Vampyre altar.
Fruit Bat Altar: Come hungry. Feed or be fed. We’re not judging.
Live Music: The dead can dance in the 1920s-style Butterfly Bar.
Costume Contest: Strut your glam before the Vampyre Court’s Count and Countess for the chance to be crowned the “Ruby of the Evening.” Fame and prizes await.
Oddities Market: Discover strange treasures and stranger stories at the Pony Shed pop-up shop.
Cocktails, Blood, & Revelry: Sip something red and mingle with fellow night-lovers.
Tasty Bites: Sink your fangs into the Unholy Communion
Dress Code: Vampyre or Vampyre-adjacent. Think ancient royalty, sexy Sinners, Bridgerton finery, 1920s flapper, Anne Rice goth, Buffy baddie, Blade brawler, or Twilight sparkle-trash. Whatever your flavor, just make it fabulous.
$80 VIP: Skip the line, get a vampy amuse bouche, a drink ticket, party favor, and endless bragging rights.
$50 General Admission (or $40 if you snag it by Oct 1 - don’t snooze).
All proceeds support The VORTEX, Austin’s beloved home for boundary-breaking, alternative theatre. So you’re partying and making a difference? Win-win.
Created by an undead dream team:
Melissa McKnight, Jen Rogers, Jasmine Games, Campbell Duffy, Oskar Brian, Emma Robertson, Xander Curiel, Chris Fontanes, Blaise Ricin, Alex Cogburn, Tamara Farley, Daniel Hernandez, and the immortal Bonnie Cullum.
Come thirsty. Come cursed. Come play. 🩸
