Halloween parties in London: From the debauched to the macabre

Chills in the Chapel

Union Chapel, the allegedly haunted music venue, will transform into Frankenstein’s Castle for one night only.

Classic 1974 comedy-horror Young Frankenstein will be screened and Flying Fleas Productions will put on a freaky sideshow that will include real-life characters from the movie. This vibey venue is worth a visit in its own right.

Oct 27, 7pm, £10
Compton Avenue, N1 2XD
Tube | Highbury & Islington

Theatre of the Damned

Immersive theatre show The Horror! The Horror! will take you on a promenade through the backrooms of the elegantly dilapidated Wilton’s Music Hall.

Watch saucy and sentimental singers, magicians, comedians and performing animals. But the renovations have dug up something ancient and evil, and, as the evening winds on, expect terrible things to start to happen ...

Oct 24-Nov 7, 7.30pm & 9.30pm, £17
1-4 Graces Alley, E1 8JB
Tube | Tower Hill

Day of the Dead Festival

The spooky tunnels running underneath Waterloo will be transformed into a secret arts venue and Mexican street kitchens for Wahaca’s four-day fiesta.

The ticket price includes food and two devilish cocktails made from specialty tequila.

There’ll also be visual arts screenings, installations, performance, photo exhibitions, DJs and live bands playing everything from metal to jazz.

Oct 31-Nov 3, 7pm-late, £51
The Old Vic Tunnels, Station Approach Road, SE1 8SW

Alice Cooper: Night of Fear
