Help Midnight Syndicate Go Live!
If you’ve ever entered a Halloween store, chances are almost guaranteed that you’ve heard Midnight Syndicate, the composer duo of Edward Douglas and Gavin Goska. These two horror music loving afficionados are responsible for 17 amazing albums over the course of 17 years, including Monsters Of Legend, The 13th Hour, and the official soundtrack to the roleplaying series Dungeons And Dragons.
Now, the mastermind duo behind Midnight Syndicate have announced that they want to put together a one-off show in Cleveland, OH in early November 2014 that will feature their music in a Halloween horror multimedia live concert experience. The group has put together a Kickstarter that is aiming to raise a minimum of $40,000. Rewards include a DVD of the concert, show posters, shirts, keychains, remix CDs, and much, much more.
The end goal is that this show will be able to hit the road and perform in other cities. So if you’re a fan of supporting those who live and breathe horror, head on here to kick a little bit on over!

AMC has announced that The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE, the standing-room-only performance celebrating AMC’s premiere of its newly-released The Vampire Lestat at New York City’s iconic Beacon Theatre last month, will debut on streaming.
The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE begins streaming on AMC+ on August 23.
Ahead of its streaming premiere, fans can preview the concert event, featuring original songs from series composer Daniel Hart and performed by Sam Reid, in Hall H at Comic Con International on July 24.
Our own Daniel Kurland attended the special event, highlighting how electric the Immortal Vampire is on stage: “It’s clear in this season of television that Reid was born to be a rock star, but it’s surreal to see him effortlessly command the stage — and the audience — at every step of the concert. He recites Shakespeare monologues and bitches out Armand between songs, all while the audience screams in support. For the duration of this concert, Reid is Lestat, and he’s given thousands of fans a memory that’s as immortal as any vampire.”
Based on Anne Rice‘s The Vampire Chronicles book series, The Vampire Lestat is the rock and roll-centric third season of AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire” created by showrunner Rolin Jones.
The Vampire Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by “muses” from his wild and rebellious past. As his band’s popularity and star power rises, so does Lestat’s influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat’s power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population.
Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle star with Reid. Executive producers include Jones, Mark Johnson, Hannah Moscovitch, the late Anne Rice, and her son Christopher Rice.
The series finale airs this Sunday, July 19, on AMC and AMC+.
