If you go
WHAT: Halloween Masquerade Monster Bash for adults. Theme is 1920s horror films. Costume prizes: Grand prize, scariest; 2nd place, most original; 3rd place, most creative.
WHEN: 7 to 11 p.m. Saturday.
WHERE: North Country Cultural Center for the Arts, 23 Brinkerhoff St., Plattsburgh.
TICKETS: $20 general and $15 members.
PHONE: 563-1604.The Halloween Masquerade Monster Bash is the latest must-go of Todd Baker-Decroti and David Duford of Hot Toddy Productions.
A freak-a-ganza for adults, the bash's theme is 1920s horror films. If Alarune ten Brinken or Edward Hyde bubbles beneath your skin, it's time to let loose your inner monster at Saturday's bash featuring V.I.P. Entertainment at the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts.
"I've been a friend of the Cultural Center for years, and I knew they were going to move and struggling with finances since the economy went blahhh," Duford said. "I have it within my schedule to donate some time, as well as Todd, to raise some money for them."
Friends for years, Baker-Decroti and Duford have staged shows at former and existing gay bars — Blair's, Backstreet and Southgate — in Plattsburgh.
LIVE CABARET
Baker-Decroti and Duford are staging a more cabaret-style show rather than a drag show to benefit the center.
"I'm catering," Duford said. "We will have a little over $600 in door prizes and prizes to give away. You are coming to a Halloween party where live cabaret performances take place but not on a set schedule, per se."
The center's main exhibit space will be transformed into the Devil's Lounge, featuring the tombstone paintings of Beth Barnes, the center's administrative assistant; and Riverside Cemetery photography by Duford.
Monsters and heroines can slide up to the Cemetery Chop Shop to fuel up on hors d'oeuvres and the cash bar.
No matter if you're Christine Daaé after Mary Philbin or "Red Death" a la Lon Chaney in the 1925 silent "The Phantom of the Opera," all costumes will be judged for the scariest, most original and most creative.
"The whole party is centered on classic monsters, the ones people have been doing for years and years," Duford said. "We hope everyone comes to support the Cultural Center and its educational programs."
