SCREAM!!! - A Halloween Fest of Fetish and Fantasy

Join us for a Halloween night like no other at Stopgap, where costumes, candy, and kinky fun collide! For this special Halloween event, we’re making an exciting one-time exception to our usual AfterDark rules: you’ll be allowed to take pictures of yourself, your consenting friends, and own scenes—just make sure no one else is caught in the background. It’s the perfect opportunity to show off your costumes and get creative with your Halloween-themed scenes. Have any spooky fantasies you’ve been dying to try and capture on camera? Tonight’s your chance!

Our venue will be fully decked out with Halloween decorations, and we’ll have plenty of candy and snacks to keep you going all night. Whether you’re here to play, connect, or just show off your look, the night will be sexy, fun, and full of Halloween spirit—all in a safe, alcohol- and drug-free environment.

Cell phones are prohibited from being used in the venue and must be stored; however, you may speak to a host about reasonable accommodations if needed for things such as continuous glucose monitoring.  

COVID-19 safety measures: 

• All guests MUST take a rapid test on the day of the event, before arriving, and write the date on the test or immediately next to the test
• Take a photo of the negative test & show it to the door guard when you arrive.
•  We will have a limited number of tests for sale at $25 each in case anyone is unable to pretest

Dress Code:

We are creating an intentional space for Halloween celebrations, kink, and BDSM. We strongly suggest wearing a Halloween costume!

While dressing to the theme is strongly encouraged in order to help maintain the immersive ambiance of the night, lingerie or general fetishwear are also welcome as are dungeon blacks. We encourage you to dress up - make an effort to impress but if nothing else comes to mind then dress as you would for a fancy night out.

Please be mindful that you might have to wait in line outside (it may be cold) and that you are welcome to arrive in regular clothes and then change into your kinky outfit once you get inside!

Tickets:

Presale tickets are recommended. Ticket prices are tiered as follows. Each tier has a fixed number of tickets.

• Tier 1 - $25 (Early bird)
• Tier 2 - $30
• Tier 3 - $40
• Door (begins 12pm day of the event) - $50
• Financial Access (while available): $15

All tiers will have tickets available until the tier sells out. Lower tiers will sell out fairly quickly so we recommend getting your tickets as soon as possible!
