Lesbian Rule<\/h2>\n

Forget the dead this Halloween.
\nFeel the pulsing throb of something larger than life in KillJoy\u2019s Kastle.<\/p>\n

Each Halloween radical evangelical groups build hell houses. These performer-animated installations showcase a gruesome retribution for the sins of fornication, abortion, suicide, occultism, and\u2014of course\u2014same-sex relationships. This Halloween, Toronto based-artists Deirdre Logue and Allyson Mitchell reclaim this hellish scenario with their sex positive, trans inclusive, queer lesbian-feminist-fear-fighting celebration KillJoy\u2019s Kastle: A Lesbian Feminist Haunted House organized by ONE Archives in West Hollywood. Designed to pervert, not convert, this haunted house of freaky feminist skill sharing and paranormal consciousness-raising reanimates the archive of lesbian herstory with all its wonders and thorny complications. Expect horror.<\/p>\n

Holey Hell House!<\/p>\n

Dare to be scared by gender-queer apparitions, ball-busting butches, and never-married, happy-as-hell spinsters. Get down on riot ghouls and radical vampiric grannies while channeling your inner consciousness hell-raiser. Each evening of nightmarishly non-assimilated lesbian mayhem will include multiple live performances, bands, video projections, and much more fun too frightening to reveal\u2026just yet.<\/p>\n

Deep Lez becomes Creep Lez\u2014Just in time for Halloween
\n(Insert witchy cackle here)<\/p>\n

Follow your demented women\u2019s studies tour guide through the glorious and grisly KillJoy\u2019s Kastle. Groups are welcome, especially the unruly kind. This ground-up, maximalist, not-to-be-missed haunted house\u2014nailed, knit, and glued by a coven of dedicated feminists\u2014provides a rare glimpse into this dystopic\/utopic craftivist world-view.<\/p>\n

To book viewing appointments or class tours of KillJoy\u2019s Kastle, please contact David Frantz at defrantz@usc.edu. Please note, October 16 through 25 an ASL interpreter will be available for visitors.<\/p>\n
