The Night Gallery: Masque of the Red Death
OCT 24, 2025 5-10:30pm
@ The Hotel Leo
The Night Gallery is Bleedingham Film Festival’s kickoff event that brings together dark artists in various mediums for an evening of celebration of macabre and horror filled delights.
This year, The Night Gallery is taking it to the next level with a Gothic Masquerade party, based on Edgar Allen Poe’s story, “The Masque of the Red Death.”
The Red Death is sweeping through the land, killing the infected within minutes, blood gushing out of their pores, there is no where that is safe. But never fear, The Night Gallery:Masque of the Red Death, bids you to join the opulent Prince Prospero in his castle as his most esteemed guests, where you will be safe from the pestilence that rages through the poor villagers outside.
Step inside the haunted and historic Hotel Leo in downtown Bellingham and you will find several rooms to explore dark artists, vendors, dancers, music, and filmmaking panels, plus interactive characters who will entertain you through each of the rooms at Prospero’s party, all while Prospero tries to hunt down the party crasher that is “killing” his vibe.
*This event is recommended for ages 18 and up, due to mature content, including partial nudity, horror themes, and language. Mature younger folks may attend with a responsible adult. You may be asked for your ID at the ticket counter.
