About
History
In October 2003 a few people got together to organise a fancy dress Halloween party in a North London pub and around 80 people turned up and had a whale of a time.
The next year they decided to do it again but this time went to a bigger pub and even managed to tell a few people what was going on. Nobody was more shocked than the organisers when 150 turned up and filled the place.
By the time they went to attempt this for a third time a whole load of people rolled up to El Paso in Old Street – the event having now acquiring a cult status (how do you get a cult status anyway?) with people coming from far and wide and creating a eye boggling selection of home made costumes.
The rest as they say is history. 2009 will be the 7th edition of this annual London scary costume fest.
Some Guidance
There is an established formula. We hire the venue, decorate it, and put on a selection of cheesy tunes and all you have to do is turn up and have a ball. Ideally, everyone who comes should make some effort on the costume front even if it’s a token gesture. There is a prize for the best costume with home made efforts generally favoured over bought costumes.
Bring whoever you like with you.
If you have any questions or queries you can get in touch via the contact page.
Also we have a page on facebook and are also on twitter.
