With only few days away, the final countdown is on. Have you heard the werewolves snarling from afar? Have you heard the flapping of bats and crows? Have you answered "Trick or Treat" at your doorstep? If you're just a coward, don't forget to check the lock before going to bed; if you're a Stingy Jack, watch out when you wander along the dark street with a single candle in a hollowed turnip. The horror of Halloween is crawling inch by inch around the world, without exception for Shanghai.
Dress on your frightfully chic attire; ride a pumpkin carriage to Venetian Masquerade Ball @ Xintiandi; enjoy the extravaganza of fashion show with a touch of horror only after nightfall here.
If you wanna party with more ghosts, ghouls, demons, witches and vampires, Shanghai Nightmare will not let you down, but will just let you scream your soul away. "Chicken-out" is available but not welcome here.
A newly-renovated in the backwoods gives much sense of Halloween. Dark foggy surroundings, spooky souls wandering, Halloween is just awaiting there, with funky music, creepy eats and gory drinks.
