What would it be like to witness your favourite horror movie characters in a wrestling match? Exhilarating? Terrifying? Who would win?
I spent Halloween watching Freddy Kruger, Jason, Leatherface, and Chucky battle it out in the ring at Titty Twister. It’s nightclub meets circus freak show and cabaret, with a side of scary. Titty Twister prides themselves on their dark and freakish events.
The event has been pulled up in the past for its ‘controversial’ nature, and I can see why. It’s provocatively crude yet oh-so-entertaining, and the horror theme fits in perfectly with Halloween.
The show opened with a sword-wielding burlesque dancer stripping down to a strapon fitted with a cucumber. After a few caressing strokes, she chops off the cucumber with her sword then proceeds to swallow the sword, throwing the cucumber into the audience. It’s one of those horrifying moments where you just can’t look away.
As the night continued, we were graced with live music, pole dancers dancing on LED light-up swinging poles, aerial acrobatics twisting on silks, a slithering snake aerial hoop routine, and of course the horror show wrestling.
Unnerving, exhilarating, and suspenseful are a few words to describe it. Watching the horror characters bash each other to the ground was a bit terrifying. I felt especially bad for Chucky, who was an actual little person, repeatedly getting trampled by Leatherface! The winner? Freddy Kruger.
If you’re looking for a freakishly fun and different Halloween, Titty Twister is a must!
