These Popular Nightclubs Of 1920s Paris Are 100% Terrifying

Those that are drawn to the more creepy side of life will be thrilled to find out that 1920s Paris was obsessed with all things macabre. And that goes for nightclubs, too. During the 20th century, a number of different cabarets opened across the city, complete with gargoyle ceilings, bone chandeliers and nightly shows that were just as creepy as they were strange.

Cabaret de l’Enfer (Cabaret of Hell)

Cabaret du Neant (Cabaret of Nothingness)

Cabaret des Truands (Cabaret of Truants)

In some of these nightclubs, drinks were served by little people who dressed as demons and performed tricks for the audience. Magic shows were also extremely popular. Nowadays, Paris is still home to a number of whimsical nightclubs and cabaret spots, but nothing quite like the creepy venues of yesteryear.
