Science Fiction and Fantasy Events in Toronto, April 2012

This will be my last SF/F Events post.  I started my evens calendar with the idea that, knowing what was happening, I'd attend more events.  But living outside of Toronto, I've found it's too much effort to head downtown for events, so...  I'll keep up the links I used to find events, so anyone interested can do their own research.  And, as always, check the websites to confirm times and locations.

The Cloven Path ministries, your guide to Satanic Salvation!!!

Dr. Eugenia Mooney- What secrets lie beneath 5000 years of mystery... an authentic Victorian mummy unwrapping LIVE, will it be royalty or will a curse be unleashed on the crowd..... witness this spectacle if you dare!

Sinful Burlesque of the most unique- The bizarre Obyskyura, Kitty kane from the UK, Octogirl Fionna Flauntit, the cannibal Dolly Berlin, The 4 legged Tanya Cheex, and the twisted AUTOPSY Of Chaos Divine and Vanity Boom.

All this and a curative of the only sideshow museum you can come up and touch and handle- Do you dare hold cursed objects, a real Kampala skull used for blood rituals, or the torture tools of the sickening WW2 death camps.... these items are real and from the personal collection of Mysterion, part of a collection featured in the media as one of the most oddest in the country.
