Kicking off at 10:30 p.m. and lasting late into the night, the carnival rides and bar will remain open for the duration of the party. Admission to Blackest After Dark is included in Friday's festival admission.

Glenn Danzig's comic book company Verotik will be hosting special signings at their booth during the festival, including signings from Danzig himself, only on Friday, May 26th.

The Verotik area is only one of a slew of dark attractions to be featured at Blackest Of The Black. The festival will also feature a roaming freak show filled with contortionists, demons, and more, thrill rides, and a Sugar Skull Contest. The main attraction, Castle Danzig is a fully immersive walkthrough experience of agony and ecstasy, all based on the music and graphic novels of Glenn Danzig.
