10 YEARS AGO A CREATURE WAS BORN IN DEEPEST DARKEST LONDON ON A NIGHT OF TERRORS. A CREATION OF MAGIC AND HORROR. THAT DARKEST OF SOULS WAS DR GORE.
He invited me to photograph his 10th Anniversary celebrations, his Night of Terrors. Where he was joined by a circus of freaks and sideshow oddities to thrill, entertain and scare the assembled Halloween crowd.
The lair for the evening of devilish divertissement was Electrowerkz, near The Angel station in Islington. But a Host of Angels would have been unlikely to prevent the howls of laughter, merriment and fear at the cornucopia of alternative amusements at the labyrinth-like nightclub.
If Dr Gore gets tired with the audience he can always set fire to their heads.
Every live event I’ve photographed has its own unique challenges. Dr Gore’s had the added element of all the terror and laughter you could want in an evening!
