Get Spooky this Halloween

Ladies and Gentlemen, the spooky season is almost upon us! A time when ghouls, ghosts and all the things that go bump in the night come out to play.

Halloween is one of the few nights of the year when you can dress up as a moose, Darth Vader or even a vampire magician and walk around without anyone thinking you are slightly crazy. Perth Underground is here to help you unleash all kinds of spooky shenanigans by compiling a list of the best places to be this Halloween.

Whether you are looking to get decked out in a costume and party, terrify yourself by experiencing horror films in all their glory or take the kids to some great family friendly events, this is the list for you. Gather your friends, summon your demons, and join us as we traverse the depths of hell to find out what is happening in Perth over the Halloween weekend.

For The Partygoers:

Evil Clown Halloween Party

When: Friday the 28th (U18) 5-9pm & Saturday the 29th (18+) of October from 8pm.

Where: Bar OneTwenty, Hilarys Boat Harbour  

What: Ahh Bar OneTwenty, I am sure almost all of us have drunken memories of being fresh faced 18 year olds attending this iconic northern suburbs club. Prepare for a hit of nostalgia because they have decided to put on one hell of a Halloween Party! If you have a debilitating phobia of clowns then I suggest that you give this one a miss, as Bar OneTwenty has promised over $8000 dollars worth of ‘props, lighting, effects, real life mechanical Halloween figures to scare the F out of you all.’

For those under 18: the folks over at the U18 Project have been awesome enough to organise a party just for you! Prepare for some of the most terrifying Clowns you have ever seen and some of the best local DJs to put you in the mood for a party!

Tickets: 18+: Tickets for $15 at the door only. The party begins at 8pm, but I suggest that you line up early!

U18: Tickets can be found here for $25, however door sales will be $30 if available.

The Halloween Bloodbath 2.0 at Capitol

When: Saturday the 29th of October from 11pm

Where: Capitol Nightclub, Murray St Perth

What: Following the huge success of last years party, Capitol are bringing back something slightly unusual again this year; something that only exists in many people’s deepest, darkest nightmares… starting at midnight, TORRENTS OF REAL BLOOD* WILL COME CRASHING DOWN FROM THE CEILING!! (*Disclaimer: not actually real blood). Inspired by the memorable vampire rave scene in Blade II (check the event bio for the clip) this party will deliver something you will find no where else in Perth.

If you are in the mood to be covered in "fake blood" and to be a part of one of the most insane dance floors ever, make sure you head on down to Capitol for a wild and memorable night. Ensure that you put on your best Dracula impression and bring a coffin in case you would like a quick nap. 

Please note; the "fake blood" won't actually ruin anyones clothes, or god forbid, hair.

Ambar Halloween

The costume theme is ‘The Stranger the Better’, so deck yourself out in the strangest costume you can think of and put on your sleuthing hats, as Ambar have transformed their basement into a crime scene full of clues… Based on how great the show is, this sounds like one hell of a night. Secret experiments, supernatural forces and alcohol, what could go wrong?

If you have never watched any cult classics before, then this is great place to start. These films are The Thing (6.30pm) and The Shining (8.30pm). If you haven’t seen either of these films then I strongly suggest you attend this screening. Prepare to be scared out of your wits; you’ll come out of both films avoiding strange hotels and wondering if anyone around you is ‘The Thing’. Does all work and no play make Jack a dull boy? You’ll have to watch to find out.

Watch as characters from the film wreak havoc through the foyer and in the cinema.  Attendees will get a ‘goodie bag’ along with their ticket, containing items which will encourage audience interaction throughout the screening, while the candy bar serves up various Army of Darkness themed cocktails. For fans of the film or those who want to laugh themselves to death, this immersive experience is perfect for you!
