Promotional events platform, Go Out Loud, today announced #ScreamOutLoud, an outrageous dance party and concert performance featuring “Hocus Pocus” Anniversary tributes, rock-horror sensation Scary Mary, music by Kiss 108’s DJ Gay Jim Clerkin and headlined by cult icon and “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season Four Winner, Sharon Needles, premiering at the Hawthorne Hotel’s Grand Ball Room, located at 18 Washington Square W, Salem, MA 01970, on Halloween night, October 31st from 8PM until close.
“I had a lot of family that lived in Salem. Unfortunately, they were all burned,” Sharon Needles said. “I’m looking forward to channeling their spirits and rocking this haunted harbor like nothing Salem has ever seen before.”
“Salem is undoubtedly the Halloween capital of the world, providing the perfect stage to unleash horror couture icon and international talent, Ms. Needles,” said Go Out Loud CEO and founder Kevin Letourneau. “Go Out Loud is committed to throwing the most exciting Halloween experience in the world, with special appearances, great performances and amazing memories for years to come as Massachusetts nudges one step closer to becoming Hollywood East,” he added.
In addition to a full concert set from the recently debuted album now available on iTunes, “PG-13” by Sharon Needles, Go Out Loud will also feature musical contributions from Kiss 108’s own DJ Gay Jim Clerkin, the rock-horror group Scary Mary and the Audio Corsette, and an audio-visual tribute to the Disney film, “Hocus Pocus,” featuring scenes shot in Salem in honor of its 20th anniversary with a life-size model of Bette Midler’s character, Winifred Sanderson, provided by special FX designer Chad O’Connell of Count Orlok’s Nightmare Gallery.
