Neon Nightmares
When the lights go down, the blacklights switch on. Neon Nightmares is DarknessCon's after-hours UV party — a Stranger Things–inspired night of glowing body paint, reactive décor, and an 80s-soaked dark synth dance floor. Dress in white or neon, grab some glow paint, and step into the dark.
