# πŸŽƒ October Film Club \| Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person \(2023\) **A little something macabre for Halloween! πŸ§›β€β™€οΈ (Please read the registration rules below!!!)** Join us for an afternoon of cinema, coffee, and conversation as we watch *Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person* (2023), a Canadian dark comedy with an unusual take on vampire mythology. **About the film** Sasha is a young vampire with a serious problem: she's too sensitive to kill. When her frustrated parents cut off her blood supply, she meets Paul, a lonely teenager who might just have a solution to her predicament. Darkly funny, charming, and surprisingly tender, the film explores loneliness, empathy, and the difficulties of finding your place in the world. ## 🎬 What to expect After the Credits is a small, informal film club where watching the movie is only half the experience β€” the other half is talking about it! We usually gather around 10–20 movie lovers for a screening followed by an open discussion. No film education or special knowledge is required. Whether you're a dedicated cinephile or simply curious about the movie, you're very welcome. Here's how our afternoon usually unfolds: * **Coffee & introductions:** Arrive, grab a coffee, and get to know some fellow movie lovers. * **Film introduction:** A brief introduction before we start the screening. * **Movie time!** We watch the film together. * **Coffee break & discussion:** After the screening, we take a short break before getting together to exchange impressions, interpretations, and questions. There's no right or wrong way to interpret a film. Different perspectives are encouraged, and disagreement is always welcome! ## πŸ–€ Halloween dress code Since we're meeting just before Halloween, let's make **black our theme for the day**. Nothing elaborate required β€” just wear something black if you'd like to join in. And if you're feeling more adventurous, you're welcome to dress as a movie character instead! ## πŸ“ When & where **Date:** Sunday, October 25, 2026 **Time:** 4:00 p.m. **Location:** 50 High Park Ave., TV Room (Clubhouse), Toronto ## 🎟️ Registration β€” please read! **A Meetup RSVP does not reserve your seat.** We have limited capacity, so everyone attending must register through Eventbrite: [https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/film-club-humanist-vampire-seeking-consenting-suicidal-person-2023-tickets-2003056783761?aff=oddtdtcreator](https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/film-club-humanist-vampire-seeking-consenting-suicidal-person-2023-tickets-2003056783761?aff=oddtdtcreator) ## πŸ’› Stay connected After the Credits also organizes casual outings to Toronto cinemas, festivals, and special screenings.

# πŸ‘»πŸŒ™ The Ghosts of Cabbagetown ### A 90-Minute Evening Ghost Walk Through One of Toronto’s Most Historic Neighbourhoods Cabbagetown has beautiful Victorian houses, quiet streets, old cemeteries, and a history that goes back generations. It also has ghosts. Join me for a **90-minute evening walking tour through Cabbagetown**, where we'll explore some of the neighbourhood's strangest stories, unsettling legends, and darker pieces of Toronto's past. We'll begin beneath the glass of **Allan Gardens**, then make our way through the streets of Cabbagetown, stopping along the way for stories of mysterious creatures, haunted buildings, old prisons, cemeteries, restless spirits, and the people who may never have quite left. This isn't a traditional history walk. It's a **ghost tour** β€” so expect some history, some local legends, a little mystery, and a few stories that are difficult to explain. And, of course, we'll have a few laughs along the way. πŸ“± Don't forget to join our **WhatsApp Group – [CLICK HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc)** *** ## πŸ‘» What We'll Explore Our route will take us through some of Cabbagetown's most atmospheric locations, including: 🌿 **Allan Gardens** β€” ghosts beneath the glass 🐾 **Winchester Square Park** β€” the strange story of Cabbagetown's Tunnel Monster 🍸 **The Winchester Hotel** β€” spirits that may have never checked out 🏚️ **Winchester Street** β€” haunted houses and Victorian secrets ⛓️ **The Don Jail & Bridgepoint** β€” where the walls remember everything πŸ„ **Riverdale Farm** β€” and its strange connection to the old Don Jail ⚰️ **The Toronto Necropolis** β€” a city of the dead beneath a city of the living πŸ•―οΈ **St. James Town & St. James' Cemetery** β€” where the living and the dead share the same neighbourhood And much, much more... *** ## πŸŒ™ What Makes This Tour Different? This is a **new ghost walk for the group**, created specifically around Cabbagetown. Rather than simply walking from one location to another, the route has been **curated around the stories** so that each stop connects to the next. We'll move through the neighbourhood at a comfortable pace, stopping along the way while I share the stories behind the places we're visiting. Some stories are historical. Some are local legends. Some are downright strange. You'll have to decide for yourself which ones you believe. πŸ‘» *** ## πŸ•―οΈ A Little About the Tour This is a **90-minute evening walk**. We will be walking outdoors throughout the tour and will **not be entering buildings**. Some locations may be viewed from outside or from nearby public spaces. Please be respectful of residents, private property, and cemetery grounds as we make our way through the neighbourhood. *** ## πŸ“ Meetup Details πŸ•š **Meeting Time:** 6:30 PM I will only wait **5 minutes** before we begin. 🫎 **Meeting Location:** Outside the **Palm House at Allan Gardens (this BIG WHITE building)** Look for me in my **Moose Hat!** 🏁 **End Point:** Parliament Street & Wellesley Street East 🚢 **Walking Time:** Approximately 90 minutes πŸ‘» **Pace:** Comfortable, steady walking pace *** ## 🎟️ Meetup Fee **$10 cash or e-transfer** πŸ“§ **[mathewmaclean@hotmail.com](mailto:mathewmaclean@hotmail.com)** The $10 fee helps support the group and covers the **extra research, preparation, and curation that goes into creating these ghost walks**. These aren't simply walks where we meet up and wander around. I've put together a specific route, researched the stories, and created a series of stops designed to turn the walk into an actual **storytelling experience**. You're paying for the experience β€” not just the walking. *** ## πŸŽ’ What to Bring πŸ‘Ÿ Comfortable walking shoes πŸ§₯ Weather-appropriate clothing πŸ’§ Water πŸ”¦ A little extra light if you have it πŸ‘» An open mind And maybe don't wander off by yourself. You never know who's walking behind you. *** ## ⚠️ A Quick Note Sometimes things happen and I may need to cancel or change an event. Please keep an eye on the event page for updates. You can RSVP ahead of time β€” or **just show up on the day if you're not sure about your schedule.** *** ## 🌈 Who Is This For? This walk is for anyone who enjoys: πŸ‘» Ghost stories and local legends πŸ™οΈ Toronto history 🚢 Social walking πŸ“Έ Exploring different neighbourhoods πŸ•―οΈ Strange and unusual stories πŸ˜‚ A good story without taking ourselves too seriously You don't have to be a believer. You don't even have to be scared. Just come for the walk and see what you think. ### **Organizer:** Mathew πŸ“§ **[torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com](mailto:torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com)** ### **πŸ‘‹ Come for the stories.** ### **🚢 Stay for the walk.** ### **πŸ‘» And keep an eye out for who might be walking with us.**
