Death Becomes Them: The Ultimate Horror Burlesque Experience You Can’t Miss

Death Becomes Them: A Darkly Decadent Night of Horror, History, and Femme-Fierce Performance

If you’re craving a night steeped in gothic glamour, haunting storytelling, and theatrical seduction, Death Becomes Them is the event you didn’t know you needed. This immersive horrorlesque cabaret celebrates the stories of “murderous and martyred women” through performance art, atmospheric staging, and a deliciously macabre aesthetic that transforms the night into something far beyond a traditional show.

Whether you’re a lover of the occult, a fan of dark history, or simply looking for a unique night out, this event promises a seductive blend of theatrics and immersive horror.

Death Becomes Them reimagines the tales of tragic, powerful, and often misunderstood women from history and folklore. Through a mix of horror-tinged burlesque, dramatic storytelling, and eye-catching visuals, the show digs into narratives too often forgotten — or deliberately buried.

The result? A celebration of feminine resilience, rage, mystery, and myth wrapped in lace, candlelight, and a touch of blood-red glam. Each performance is crafted to pull you deeper into a world where beauty and darkness intertwine, creating a theatrical experience that’s chilling, emotional, and utterly mesmerizing.

The next installment, Death Becomes Them Vol. 3: The Ides of March, promises an evening rich in foreboding atmosphere and powerful performances. Set within a historic venue, Ybor's own Cuban Club, whose walls practically breathe stories of their own, the event embraces themes of betrayal, fate, and the tragic power struggles of women pushed to extremes.

Previous attendees know to expect sinister storytelling, wickedly beautiful choreography, burlesque wrapped in myth, murder and a full sensory environment of gothic ambiance.If Vol. 3 captures the same magic as previous shows, guests can anticipate a night that is as thought-provoking as it is thrilling.

The Pre-Show: Arriving early isn’t just recommended — it’s part of the fun.

The pre-show includes a macabre marketplace & immersive atmosphere that includes a curated vendor gallery featuring dark art, books, jewelry, and curiosities. Plus a bar staffed for Signature cocktails (and mocktails!) crafted to complement the event’s eerie aesthetic that includes photo-ready backdrops for capturing your best gothic glamour. It’s the perfect warm-up for the main event and a chance to sink into the vibe before the curtains rise.

A Celebration of Community, Femininity, and the Macabre

What makes Death Becomes Them truly special is the way it builds community. Fans of horror, burlesque, alt-fashion, and historical lore come together to share a space where darker themes are explored with elegance, artistry, and respect.

It’s not simply a show to watch — it’s a world to step into. Go ahead and don your most decadent funeral chic or moonlit cabaret looks. If there’s ever a moment to unleash your inner gothic deity, this is it.

Whether you go for the burlesque, the history, or the dark storytelling, you will leave thinking about this show long after the lights go down.
