1933 Halloween Ghost Town

1933 Halloween Ghost Town

If you’re going to throw a huge Halloween party in Shanghai, there can be few better locations than at a former abattoir. Organisers of this event at 1933 are claiming it will be ‘Shanghai’s biggest ghost town’, though presumably they mean it’ll be a huge space packed full of people dressed as ghosts and ghouls rather than a big empty venue. Details are fairly scarce at the moment, but check back soon for further information on what to expect.

Date: 31 Oct 2015 Sat 19:33 – midnight
Venue: 1933 Old Millfun
Price: 50/38RMB (presale)
