Join us for a festive night of dancing, drag, and dress-up! Drag Me to Hell is a one-of-a-kind Halloween event inspired by queer pioneers in 1930s–60s Los Angeles who found refuge in science-fiction fandom and the occult underground. The evening will include demonic drag performances by Specimen Scythe and world-renowned Dragula stars Vander Von Odd and HoSo Terra Toma, followed by a DIY costume contest for USC students, hosted by international DJ and drag sensation Miss Toto.
Pre-show attractions will include a live choral performance by students from the USC Thornton School of Music led by professor Emily Sung and haunting tours of the ONE Archives and USC Fisher Museum’s PST ART exhibition Sci-fi, Magick, Queer LA: Sexual Science and the Imagi-Nation (August 22–November 23, 2024).
