    DYING TO BE DANCING: HALLOWEEN EDITION

    Once upon a time Halloween costumes consisted solely of spooky outfits like witches and mummies and Dracula. Now they’re mostly “sexy” versions of the latest meme. Now, there’s space for creative license sure, but c’mon, lets head back to our pagan roots and try scaring each other rather than scaring yourself by checking your bank balance. Come, drink some virgins blood, dance naked round the fire, and re-enact a scene from 120 Days Of Sodom this All Hallows Eve.

    WEDNESDAY

    The Lost Boys – Halloween outdoor screening
