Daily News | This ‘elder goth’ is keeping South Street weird with his new store, The DreamEerie
owner of The DreamEerie, “a shop for goths and other spooky nerds,” on South Street.“We have a place where people can step inside and take pictures in a coffin.”When Daryll Jones took the bus to Philly goth shows in the ‘90s, he didn’t put on his makeup until he got to the club, and he removed it before he left for the night.
But when Jess Cyphers — a friend Jones met through a weekly Dungeons & Dragons game at his comic book store — suggested he check out a goth show in 2019, Jones fell right back in. “Back then there were not just like three or four stores like this, there were like 20 of them,” Cyphers said. “And you would just like wander into these weird doorways and it would smell weird and it’d be dark and you never knew what you’re gonna find.”
For Jones, whose favorite bands include the Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Christian Death, Clan of Xymox, and Selofan, goth has always been about the music. “There was a bunch of different people intermingling with each other and that’s where I met people my age who were sort of outcasts,” Jones said.
They get many of their items from auctions and online and then collaborate with local artists who rehab lamps, reupholster furniture, and taxidermy bugs, to prepare the goods for retail.
