Last House on Emily Hill
Here’s your chance to walk inside a creepy old colonial house – the oldest on Emily Hill – and meander through the dark hallways for a chilly time. Since it’s Halloween, head upstairs and enjoy haunting tunes and booze from Kult Kafé.
When: 27 October, Friday (7pm)
Where: Emily Hill
How much: $16.75
LuLu’s Carnival of the Absurd
This Halloween party is inspired by the absurd carnival world, where drag queens and burlesque dancers rule, where freaky ballerina dolls and menacing ringmasters grace the stage. Dress up in your most ridiculous outfits to blend in.
When: 28 October, Saturday (9pm)
Where: LuLu’s Lounge, Pan Pacific Hotel
How much: $30
The Ghost Ship on the Royal Albatross
If you’ve got the cash, book yourself on this 22-sail luxury tall ship berthed at SEA Aquarium for a 2-hour late night party. It’s a pirate ghost ship with tattered sails, ominous fog and plenty of interesting cocktails. As usual, dress up for the night!
