Sick of pumpkin spice lattes and boring costume parties? Wish your spooky season came with a little more boo and a lot more bing-ghosts?

On Halloween this year the Garden Cinema is turning up the jump scares with a night of Franken-BINGO, carefully created by the little devils behind our previous event, the John Waters themed Pink Fla-BINGO-s. Expect eerie movie clips, ghoulishly good cocktails, and plenty of tricks, treats, and prizes lurking in the shadows. Dressing up is also highly encouraged, and there will be a prize for the best costume of the night!

So grab your broomsticks, dust off your masks, and get ready for a frightfully fun night you won’t forget…

The prizes up for grabs have been generously donated by local businesses, and will include:

• Deliciously sweet & salty (trick or) treats by Lakrids by Bülow, who are on a mission to make the whole world fall in love with liquorice
• Vouchers for experimental liquid nitrogen ice cream from our new neighbours at Chin Chin Labs, who have recently opened their location in Seven Dials Market
• A £45 voucher for a tarot reading at one of the world’s oldest and leading independent bookshops specialising in Esoterica, Watkins Books
• Quad posters of two iconic Park Circus features which are both being re-released this year; Tim Burton & Mike Johnson's gorgeous stop-motion-animated Corpse Bride (10 October), and utterly terrifying British horror film The Descent (24 October)
• Scrumptious handmade & Halloween-themed baked goods by the always tempting Konditor
• A fabulous autumnal bouquet by our florist friends at Bloomsbury Flowers, one street over from the cinema
• A £50 voucher for a tarot reading, a £40 workshop voucher, and a phenomenal tote bag filled with their Book of Plant Magic and a scented candle, all very generously donated by the wonderful Treadwell's Bookshop on Store Street - perfect for students of the occult, magic and mysticism!
• Treadwells workshop voucher value £40 usable for any event or combination of events
• Treadwell's Tote Bag, filled with a copy of the Treadwell's Book of Plant Magic and a scented candle  (Value £40)
• A Blu-ray of 70s classic Malpertuis, donated by the arthouse icons of Radiance Films

• A copy of Weird Walk: Wanderings and Wonderings Through the British Ritual Year, the first book by iconic zine creators and cultural phenomenon Weird Walk

Tickets for the event are £10 each, and members can book up to 2 tickets, which means you're welcome to bring a friend or foe. Due to the nature of the selected video clips from a range of frightening films, the event will be 18+.

Doors will open from 20:00 to enjoy a terrifying tipple or two, with the bingo starting at 20:30. We expect to finish around 22:30, after which there will be a bit more time to stick around for drinks.
