Spooky music. Spine-chilling decor. Creepy drinks. And awesome prizes on offer for the best dressed. It’s that time of year for ghoulish get-ups, and we couldn’t be more excited!
Once again, That’s Shanghai is hosting a hell of a bash, as we join forces with Xouk in Sinar Mas Plaza on Saturday, October 29.
Pre-order tickets are just RMB140, which includes entry to all of the above freaky fun, and RMB140 worth of F&B tickets, which can be exchanged for mixed drinks, beer, soft drinks and food.
Last year, people rocked up in full costume, dancing on tables well into the wee hours of the morning to old school hip hop and classic tunes from throughout the decades, from the 80s all the way to 2020.
Here's a video of how it all went down:
Saturday Oct 29, 8pm until hell freezes over.
