The best way to celebrate the scariest night of the year is with screams. Therefore, stop by the amusement parks of scares, known as ‘scream parks‘. The best in Europe, horrorland, is in Vilassar de Mar. Of course, their tickets are highly valued, so it is possible that you will find a ‘sold out’ on most days. More options? In Terrassa, another horror park where you can spend Halloween night: Macabre Park. EITHER Tibidabo Y PortAventurathat both open their houses of terror and will fill their streets with shows and terrifying experiences for all ages.
An essential plan for Halloween night, the horror movies. Phenomenal Experience (Sant Antoni Maria Claret, 168) starts his halloween cycle with films like the classic ‘Nosferatu’, the familiar ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’, the musical ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’, or the disturbing ‘Midsommar’. Also the film library (Salvador Seguí, 1) joins the scares with the screening of ‘The Addams Family’ or the Cinesa chain, which on the 31st organizes marathons of the ‘Warren File’ saga in its theaters.
An improvised organ session while they project ‘metropolis‘, the first science fiction film in history. This is the plan with which the Palace of Music (4-6) wants to celebrate a spooky Halloween in his modernist venue.
For those who want to celebrate Halloween night, but without too many scares, there is the option of bars, cocktail bars and nightclubs, which will have theme parties. Among others, they sign up for the party Razzmatazz (Almogàvers, 122) on the 31st, the Churros with chocolate in Apollo (Nou de la Rambla, 113) on the 30th, the wolf (Almogàvers, 88) on the 31st, or the Hello Weekwhich will last throughout the weekend, in the Skyfall Cocktail Club (Granvia de l’Hospitalet, 144). Of course, you can’t miss another regular party on Halloween night in Barcelona: the Barcelona Wax Museum (Pasaje de la Banca, s/n), for a truly disturbing experience.
The end of October is not only the time to celebrate Halloween, but also the Day of the Dead. This tradition, so implanted in Mexico, also has its followers in Barcelona. For example, him Balam Workshop (Pàdua, 25) organizes a day with gastronomy, music, crafts, a papel picado workshop and Mexican culture. There will also be altars to the dead in the Galeries Maldà (Portaferrissa, 22) and in Pinata Cocktail Canteen (Casanova, 19), who will have tequila cocktails specially designed for the occasion.
