15:00 - 01:00 | The Carlton Club - Rowan Lodge, 113 Carlton Rd, Whalley Range, M16 8BE | Tickets from £12
Here’s one of the pickneys. From 3pm, there’s arts and crafts workshops, spooky pageant shows, face painting, and you can carve your own pumpkin! How delightful.
From around 8pm you’d be calling the babysitter, as The Carlton will descend into madness slowly but surely, and yes, dressing up is expected. Something for all ages at this one.

This monstrous, thirteen hour event starts in the Greenhouse at 3pm, and metastasises to the Loft from 11pm until 4am. Let us be real, there is no way in hell you’re lasting all of that.

GHOSTS OF GARAGE - venue TBA | Sat 28 Oct
22:00 - 04:00 | Secret venue, Manchester | Tickets from £6.66
There’s not too much we can give you about this one. The location is being kept a secret (until when? Also a secret). As a nod to the old school, you have to bell this line - 07759541791 – to find out where the venue is.
How much it costs? You’re gonna like this one. Prices range from £6.66 / 9.99 / 13.13 / 16.66. Har har har. All we know is there’s gonna be garage and bass, and lots of it, and it’s going to be in some way spooky.

Pillow Talk: Mystic Bounce - at Eastern Bloc Records | Sat 28 Oct
22:00 - 03:00 | Eastern Bloc Records - 5a Stevenson Square, Northern Quarter, M1 1DN
Beloved Manchester record shop/live music venue presents ‘Mystic Bounce’, a nod to the Madlib track that sampled Ronnie Foster’s iconic ‘Mystic Brew’. Expect a mixture of techno and house, with a sprinkle of spooky, and to be surrounded by some fun-loving music heads. Oh, and it’s free.

Riot Party Halloween MCR - at Area Manchester | Sun 29 Oct
16:00 - 00:00 | Area Manchester - 50 Sackville St, M1 3WF | Tickets from £23
Was last years Halloween not gay enough for you? Then it’s hightime to address the imbalance. Billed as a “POC and SWer led queer sex positive rave, with spaces to Dance, Chill, and Play”, Riot Party will be this weekends queer capital.
You know the deal. And if you don’t I feel very sorry for you. Very sorry indeed, as gay nights like this is what makes clubbing worth defending.

DISCO PUSS: HALLOWEEN SPECIAL - at XLR | Tues 31 Oct
22:00 - 02:00 | XLR - 455 Wilmslow Road, Withington, M20 4AN | Tickets from £11
It’s a disco train at the XLR. Head on down to the dungeon for some haunted melodies, and get some treats and kitty ears if you’re part of the first hundred through the gates. Expect a mix of disco, funk and soul, and maybe some new grooves at this intimate Halloween special.

Invicta Audio Halloween House Party - at Canvas | Tues 31 Oct
22:00 - 04:00 | Canvas - Unit 5, Building 4, Circle Square, Oxford Rd, M60 7HB | Tickets from £13
Anyone who knows anything about anything knows that Invicta Audio are responsible for 88% of hearing-loss cases in under 30s year olds (statistics pulled out of The Proverbial).
Making the great migration from Bris to Manny, Invicta are offering a slice of their bass-fuelled city to the lowly Northerner’s.
These are always safe environments, with friendly, sweaty strangers embracing you in even sweatier grips. A night for DnB heads to ruin their internal organs once again.
