Spooky’s Birthday is the May gathering for the house spirit, the people who feed it, the cats who supervise it, and whatever has been moving around upstairs since before any of us got here.
The Event
Spooky’s Birthday is a 21+ Cathouse celebration of house lore, community, music, birthday nonsense, haunted friendship, and the strange little culture that has grown inside this old Roxbury Victorian.
It is not a generic birthday party with a skull on the flyer. It is the night where the house gets treated like a guest, a host, a problem, and a beloved menace all at once.
What to Expect
Expect music, dancing, social time, birthday décor, odd rituals, house-history references, weird visuals, and the feeling that the wallpaper has opinions.
There may be candles. There may be cake. There may be ceremonial nonsense. There may be a moment where everyone acts like this is normal because, by Cathouse standards, it is.
The event can be funny, sweet, loud, strange, sentimental for five seconds, and then immediately interrupted by bass.
Who It’s For
Spooky’s Birthday is for people who understand the Haunted Cathouse as more than a place where events happen.
It is for the friends, artists, kink-aware weirdos, dancers, DJs, cats-in-the-mythology believers, house regulars, careful newcomers, and private-joke archivists who make the room feel alive.
You do not need to know every piece of lore. You do need to treat the place like it matters.
House Rules
Celebrate the room, not just yourself.
Respect the hosts, the guests, the house, the cats, the neighbors, and the fragile boundary between party and haunting.
Ask before touching. Ask before photographing. Ask before involving someone in a birthday bit, ritual, joke, or performance. No pressure to participate. No entitlement to attention.
Why It Matters
Because places become real when people care for them repeatedly.
Spooky’s Birthday marks another year of the Cathouse being more than its walls: a private arts space, a kink-aware social home, a music room, a haunted joke with a working doorbell, and a living project that keeps refusing to become normal.
Dress & Vibe
Birthday goth, haunted party guest, ghost host, Victorian weirdo, spooky formal, black glitter, cursed cake, dead clown, birthday cryptid, or whatever you would wear if the house invited you personally.
House Rule Spotlight
Celebrate the room, not just yourself. Respect the house, the people, and the cats.
The candles are lit. The house is listening.
