Saturday night there will also be an after show at The Meat Locker, discounted if you show up with your wristband from QXT’s.

Deep in the doctors laboratory in Castle Stormskull in Transylvania, a cadaver stays strapped to a slab. Gears turn, electrodes surge, and toggles wait in anticipation to be flipped. The doctor cackles as he turns around holding the cadaver’s brain in his thick black rubber gloved hands. He slips the brain into the empty skull cavity and turns to his horrific and twisted assistant, who is silently wishing for the experiment to fail so that he gets to feast on the remains, and commands him to staple the skull closed. The doctor trudges across the lab and grips the toggle with his blood soaked glove. He throws it down and the piercing screech of rusted chains and gears start turning. The slab raises to the sky, to a hole crudely cut in the ceiling by his putrid little assistant. Lightning strikes! Thunder crashes! The surge sends the two flying back in the lab! The smell of charred flesh fills the chamber as the cadaver is lowered down to the lab floor. The doctor stands up to gaze upon his creation. “ITS…. ITS ALIVE!!” He bellows. He runs to the slab as the cadaver turned creature starts to break his restraints. He grabs the doctor by the throat and pulls him close. With death on his breath and his jaw creaking after speaking again for the first time in this life “FATHER. YOU HAVE GIVEN ME LIFE! NOW BRING ME TO SPOOKYFEST!!”
