#Goths have a soft spot for #Disneyland. Sure, it’s counterintuitive: “The Happiest Place on Earth” wouldn’t seem a natural habitat for black-sheathed disciples of the grim and morbid. “But beyond the surface discord are clear harmonies: a love of costumes and glamour, a flair for the sensational and dramatic, an allergy to humdrum reality,” writes our reporter @ugwu. Once a year for the past 2 decades, lovers of darkness from around the country and beyond have descended on @ディズニーランド to mix with kindred spirits, spook strangers and, naturally, ride “The Haunted Mansion.” Noah Korda, 46, founded the annual pilgrimage, known as “Bats Day in the Fun Park,” in 1999. “I figured why not combine the subculture that I’m into with something else that I love?” he said. “And, strangely enough, it worked.” While #BatsDay in the past had been accompanied by various satellite events, budget constraints relegated this year’s agenda to a photo opportunity at the #MagicCastle and group trip to “The Haunted Mansion.” But “Bats Day” will continue next year. The dream (or nightmare) lives on. @nathanielwood took these photos. Swipe left to see all of them.
