Here’s a guide to the most riveting Halloween celebrations where the boundary between reality and the supernatural will blur into an unforgettable night of frightful fun.
1. Ghost in The Rocks
Sydney, Australia
For the first time ever, Sydney’s historic precinct of The Rocks, renowned for its colonial charm and picturesque harbor views, will transform into a gothic playground for Australia’s grandest Halloween festival. Nestled at the southern end of the iconic Harbour Bridge, this event will cast a spell over the city for four thrilling nights, turning it into a nexus of haunted history and supernatural intrigue.
Against the backdrop of red sandstone edifices and a 200-year-old British prison, experience an array of eerie attractions designed to challenge your nerves and thrill your senses. Revel in “Murder Mystery Parties” where enigmatic clues await at secretive bars, or embrace the chilling ambience of the “House of Horror” for an evening of ghastly revelry. Don your most imaginative costume for the “Halloween Parade,” indulge in fear with “Ghost Cinema,” where classic horror films are screened amid spectral company, or dance with the undead at the “Zombie Disco”.
