If you’re thinking of doing something for Halloween this year, here are some scary good ideas for you to make the most of the occasion:
The Rocky Horror Picture Show Shadowcast
Where: Encore
Because Halloween is never complete without a show on the cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show. This time the Annual Transylvanian Convention will be at K Road on October 27 and yes, it will be a fully interactive evening. As it should be! All audience members will receive a props kit upon arrival to use throughout the show. Tickets are available via Eventfinda. Door sales are not guaranteed.
James Whale Halloween Double Feature
Where: Academy Cinemas
In terms of horror film directors, James Whale is one of the greats so if you’re a fan of cult horror films, or even just cult cinema in general, this event on October 27 at Academy Cinemas will be a good one. The Halloween Double Feature will be showing two cult horror favourites from the director: The Invisible Man and The Old Dark House. Both films exemplify the director’s expressionist use of horror lighting, his favoured mobile camerawork, and a signature caustic humour. Tickets are available via Academy Cinemas and you get two films for the price of one. Bonus!
Halloween Screening of Halloween
Where: Event Cinemas Queen Street
If you love horror films and you love Halloween, why not watch the latest Halloween film on Halloween? It’s the perfect combo! And this is not just any horror film, this marks the return of one of the most iconic scary movie franchises of all time with its original leading lady Laurie Strode, portrayed once again by Jamie Lee Curtis, back as the main protagonist. I’ve seen the film and it’s pretty good!
Little Club of Horrors – Halloween Horror Musical Event
Where: Cassette Number Nine
On November 3, Cassette Number Nine is playing host to this musical inspired Halloween event where performers will be bringing your favourite characters from iconic horror musical films to life. There will be burlesque, drag, musical theatre, puppetry, magic, adagio, and circus acts inspired by films such as Little Shop of Horrors, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Repo! The Genetic Opera, Sweeney Todd, and Labyrinth. And because this will be at Cassette, their infamous teapots will be there and yes, it will in theme. Tickets are available via Eventfinda and at the door.
