DOMINO BARBEAU
GLAMOUR GHOUL
Clothed in the unquiet ghosts of Old-Hollywood, the changeless Domino Barbeau is probably immortal.
Certainly the tales she tells of drinking tea with Karloff on the set of Frankenstein and buying cashmere playsuits for Ed Wood Jr, point to a figure that has occupied the shadows of "the cinema of the uncanny" for as long as it has existed.
It is said that it was Dom who taught Vincent Price his celebrated Chicken Cacciatore and the torrid love letters that passed between her and Bela Lugosi recently went to a private collector at auction for a spectacular sum.
Having spent over a decade cementing her reputation as an International Burlesque and Cabaret Showghoul, Domino is returning to her first love; the creepy, shadowy world of retro horror cinema as Horror Hostess for Barbeau's Batcave, an online, spooky, retro Picture-Show.
She is also a Cabaret Host/MC, International Cabaret Performer, Vampira tribute Artist, Actress and Model.
"She's a gaunt, black haired glamour ghoul who comes out thru ominous drifting mist, she has a pet spider named Boris, she hates the sunlight and is the ghostess with the mostest...."
