Circus of Horrors.

This year was the first Halloween I shared with my boyfriend and although many people seem to think the occasion is for kids only, I don't think so as there are many adult events that only happen at this time of year. 

I am fascinated by the dark, supernatural and mystical concepts so needless to say I wanted to be creative with this occasion. Unfortunately there was so much we wanted to do that we ended up waiting until the last minute to decide what we would do and book something! Fortunately though, we were able to book tickets for the Circus of Horrors at the theatre on the night before Halloween.

We were greeted by 'Dracula' at the entrance and 'skeletons' made the audience scream and jump by crawling over, around and under us to reach the stage, therefore cleverly interacting with the audience to make us feel very welcome but also a little creeped out. It is difficult to put the experience into words but the horror aspects were perfect with a mix of hard rock, glam and heavy metal music elements to emphasise the themes. We both absolutely loved it and I would recommend others to go this year.

Halloween is also a perfect excuse to convince your friends or boyfriend to carve a pumpkin, bake scary treats or watch lots of horror films.

As a romantic night in, we filled bowls with sweets, grabbed some horror films, turned out the lights, lit the candles, cuddled (and hid behind pillows) - although I think he hid behind me more.

We are already thinking about possibilities for next years Halloween and hoping to make next year an even more unique experience than this year.
