Dead Sexy Burlesque Presents 'Dead Sexy: Blood Moon'

They say that when Hell is full, the dead will walk the Earth. Well, this time they will shimmy and shake their way from Hades to bring you Dead Sexy Burlesque.

Under the light of the full Blood Moon and for one night only, New York's bloodcurdlingly bawdy Neo-burlesque will be resurrected at the elegant Duane Park. Dead Sexy: Blood Moon, is presented by Weirdbottom, along with the Burlesque Mayor of NYC, Jonny Porkpie and Jeremy X. Halpern.

According to Jonny Porkpie, host and creator, "There is only one full moon during the halloween season, and that is the blood moon. It is the time when the barriers between this world and the next become flimsier than a burlesque performer's silk g-string, and therefore the only time when Dead Sexy is able to cross back into the world of the living."

Porkpie also co-produced Dead Sexy weekly at The Crypt Cabaret from March 2013 until late July, when the show met a premature end after the venue shut down.

The ghoulishly delightful show will feature a bevy of burly babes bumping and grinding as some of your most beloved beasties. You can expect to see Jo "Boobs" Weldon, The Maine Attraction, Little Brooklyn, Sizzle Dizzle, Trixie Little & the Evil Hate Monkey and Mr. Gorgeous disgrace and defile the stage. Joining them will be gravedigger Poison Ivory and musical guest Corn Mo., with Jonny Porkpie and Baron Von Weirdo conducting the fiendishly frisky festivities.

You can catch Dead Sexy: Blood Moon on October 18, with doors opening at 11:59 p.m. Tickets are available for online pre-sale for $10 until October 17, when pre-sale prices go up to $15. Tickets will be available for $20 on the day of the show.

'Ghostbusters' NYC tour: Better than Philadelphia mass turbulence of 1947

Have you ever wanted to hop in Ecto-1 and leave the firehouse headquarters in TriBeCa to check out paranormal activity in the New York Public Library in Midtown and at an Upper West Side apartment - and perhaps pop into Columbia University in Washington Heights to harass Dean Yeager?

If you're a) A fan of one of the best movies ever, and b) a paranormal pop culture junkie, then clearly the answer is yes, and you already knew I was talking about locations from the classic 1984 movie Ghostbusters. 

Well, as it happens, a lot of Big Apple ground is covered in the movie, and the boys over at Bleeding Cool have put together a pretty awesome video tour guide (and with electric guitar accompaniment) which includes location, according to appearance in the movie, that allows you to relive the best lines all in one day.

This is super cool, and as a fellow New Yorker, I'm pleased to say it's also accurate. Although, since you won't likely have a 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor combo car to drive around in, you'll have to settle for a Metrocard and a subway line - but anyone who lives in NYC knows a ride on the trains can sometimes be a more haunting experienc more frightening than the Tunguska blast of 1909. And we think Dr. Raymond Stantz would approve.
