Halloween: a weekend of horrifying partying and dress-up role play
In their tradition of serious professional media, the Montreal Mirror just published an epic, both in quality and size, party guide for the Halloween weekend. Everything you need to know about nightclub parties, live music, Halloween balls and pagan rituals happening in Montreal over Halloween, well it’s all in that guide.
The good thing about Halloween in Montreal is that it’s authentic: the trees are devilish-red and mostly dead-yellow or completely naked of any leaves, making them even freakier. The sun goes down by 4:30, the air is humid and smells of decomposing vegetation.
And Montrealers play along pretty well. In some neighborhoods, die-hard Halloween enthusiasts even turn the basement of their houses into dungeons for the kids to venture deep into scary territory in if they want the booty of candy awaiting at the end.
But for those who aren’t trick or treating, Halloween is all about finally having the chance to dress up as that hot doctor or wild animal or sexy nurse that we always secretly wished we were. And not only dress-up, but walk around outside or in the middle of a party with your costume, as if it’s the most normal thing to do ever.
And talking about costumes, here is an “interesting” costume worn by Montreal DJ Alice and the Serial Numbers (odd name, but we’ll forgive her)
If you want to get a sample of more than her costume, here is a video of her (properly titled for Halloween) song Zombie Barbie:
