It's October and Halloween is creeping up on us and ready to pounce – much like Freddy Krueger. These ten ace parties and club nights are bound to sell out, so get booking now if you want to get in on the spooky fun. And don't forget there are tons more options on our Halloween parties page.
Coffin Dodgers Disco
A special edition of the over-28s night. There’ll be apple bobbing and frightening stuff galore (not too frightening, mind – don't want to give those 'oldies' too much of a scare), plus a great soundtrack of pop, indie, disco and rock.
The Phoenix. October 30.
Found Horror Series
Two nights of sublime sonics from top promotion crew Found: a Born and Bred party on Friday features grime, garage and dubstep from the likes of Joker, Slimzee and Hatcha, while house ace Maya Jane Coles curates Saturday.
Building Six. October 30 and 31.
Michael Jackson’s Thriller
All those hours practicing your ‘Thriller’ zombie moves will finally pay off. Dress up real ghoulish, as there’ll be a photo shoot and boozy prize for the best costume at this 'Thriller'-themed bash at an Islington party pub.
The Old Queen’s Head. October 30.
The Halloween Project
An immersive party combining music, theatre and art in a spooky warehouse. The audience will be free to roam around the venue and explore various nooks, crannies and secret spots, where there'll be various performers – which could include anything from DJs to Shakespearean actors – peddling their artistic wares.
Ugly Duck. October 30 and 31.

To the Lazer Cave Sequin Zombie Party
