Gothicfest 2007 was held at the Excalibur in downtown Chicago. This castle like building designed by Henry Ives Cobb was built in 1892. The massive multi room, nine level maze can be a bit intimidating at first. With its gothic overtones, dark winding corridors and spiral staircases, it should come as no surprise that the space was once a downtown church.
According to rumors, the building was also used to house corpses from a shipwreck,
was a mob-related murder scene, a pornographic theater, and a crack house before it
was turned into the Limelight Nightclub by Peter Gatien in 1985. It is also rumored that
the building was a place of Satanic rituals.
