Specters is up and running for one last night. Fitting it's Halloween, really. They're showing The Rocky Horror Picture Show and serving drinks 'til the wee hours of the mornin'.

Shake back at it again with the clean copy: Calling all the freaks! For one night only, SHAKE presents a concert of songs they love but don't/can't usually play (because they're too sinister), plus a jam after the two sets. Just some classic, dark and danceable funk, soul and more, performed live on Halloween night. Dress up and come get down. Free entry. Dinner from 6pm, live music from 10pm.
Oct 31, 10pm, no cover. Shake, see event listing.
Oct 31: Coven

This cabaret in the McKinnon is hands down one of the wildest ways you can spend Halloween. Don your whitest whites for the wake of Agnes Sampson - the woman (or witch...?) who attempted to assasinate King James. An extension of Sleep No More, there will be free-flow drinks, dance, lots of gorgeous costumed people and DJs. We're already itching with excitement (and a mild case of hives because that ish is creepy af and we're about it). Our ticket give away is over, but you can purchase them online until 5pm on Wednesday, and at the door until sold out.
Oct 31, 10.30pm, RMB350. McKinnon Hotel, see event listing.
