In honor of Phillyist's favorite holiday, we're delving into the darker side of Philadelphia's nightlife to spotlight Scaryoke at Ulana's (2nd and Bainbridge Streets). Part of "Despondent Heaven" (a weekly Goth-night featuring gothic, metal, industrial, punk, and new wave music party), Scaryoke is just what you'd imagine it is: Goth Karaoke (We guess not everyone likes to sing Petula Clark's greatest hits when crooning for strangers). Phillyist has heard good things about Scaryoke - and the second we manage to stay up late enough to attend (Despondent Heaven starts at 9PM, but Scaryoke doesn't get started 'till midnight) we're all about it. And we're pretty sure could be considered Goth, if you performed it right. Despondent Heaven is $3, and you must be 21 or older to get in.

If Phillyist loves anything, it's Films that are Free. Therefore, it was with some sadness that we turned the calendar from muggy July to oppressive August, since the act indicated the free, outdoor summer movie showings were winding down. Lucky for us Scribe Video Center has got the late-summer outdoor movie hook-up.
