.:Welcome to Halloween:.

The Industrial Underground Vampire Ball is an annual event that occurs on or around Halloween. People come from all over, and eerie industrial bands perform.

Starting out in a cozy Montrose apartment, little did we know then that what was a good excuse to party, would turn into the most famous Texas Halloween event and a genuine holiday tradition. Our tiny apartment was packed for that first ball, even Houston's finest came out. Thankfully no freaks went to jail. We would have to find a bigger home for the Vampire Ball...
