Nightmare On Brunswick Street

Overview

Halloween rolls around once a year, and it's always an occasion worth celebrating, especially if you're a horror film fan. Watching Michael Myers' various slasher exploits, staying away from wardrobes, devouring a marathon of scary movies — they're all great things to do. Come October 27, however, Netherworld and Crowbar are teaming up to provide something different across the two venues.

Horror costumes? Tick. A spooky vibe and an all-round celebration of horror film villains? Tick again. Two stages filled with bands such as The Gutterbirds, Fiends and Cosmic Psychos cranking out killer tunes? Yep, you guessed it — tick again.

Different acts will play at each place, but a whole heap of fun awaits at Nightmare On Brunswick Street no matter where you start or end up. Dressing up as your favourite horror movie villain could win you a prize, but you probably want to go beyond the obvious overalls, hockey mask or striped sweater. It all kicks off at 7pm, with entry free.

Also, Semi Pro Brewing's Brunswick Street Blood Red Ale will be pouring through the taps, there'll be folks onsite at both locations to help you with your ghoulish, gory makeup, and two special enamel pins — one paying tribute to Michael Myers — will be available to collect.
