Even the dead need a place to unwind, which we found out in our sixth year, The Haunt Club.
This house was strongly inspired by the classic film noir movies of the 1940s. Trouble lurked in every shadow and you never knew who you could trust - if anybody.
The club was a gin joint for macabre characters to hang out, drink, and enjoy some entertainment. The spider who owned the place spun a web of intrigue, a witch mixed drinks for a literal bar fly, a bat in wing tips tapped danced for the crowd, and the club's headliner - The Banshee- had just been exorcised.
Deadeye, the afterlife's best detective, was called in to find out who done it. He and his partner, Rat, questioned everyone in the place from Howler, the werewolf custodian, to the snobby vampires who hung out in their private Red Room.

All clue's pointed to Banshee's singing rival, a leopard-headed dame named Miss Kitty, but when Deadeye went to confront her, he found out the real culprit was another private eye, Denny Demon, out to make him look bad.
In the end, the Demon got away and Deadeye was left disillusioned and distraught (and minus a partner).
In the gambling area downstairs, odds were pretty good that Deadeye would be showing up at the bar more often - but as a customer instead of an investigator.
The Haunt Club comic, available before and during the event, told other stories about the characters in the club.
