Halloween – The Abandoned Factory

A crumbling warehouse becomes Berlin’s creepiest playground across five nights of eerie spectacle. Expect pounding beats, shadowy corners and enough strobe-lit smoke to make you loose track of time. Each night is a new chance to dress your wildest and vanish into the ruins like a ghost who came to rave.

The Abandoned Factory, Greifswalder Str. 25, Prenzlauer Berg, through Nov 1, details.

Nightcrawlers: Hunger Pangs

Berlin’s most twisted haunt is back, hungrier than ever. Step into a fog-choked labyrinth where mosnters leer, bodies twist and the line between spectator and spectacle disappears. This full-contact queer horror trip serves up a delirious mix of camp, gore and seductive grotesquerie: a Halloween fever dream you won’t soon shake.

Malzfabrik, Bessermerstr. 2-14, Tempelhof, through Oct 31, details.

Final Girls Berlin: Halloween Screening & Party

Cinema meets scream queen at Wedding’s City Kino. Scary shorts by women and non-binary creators take centre stage, balancing gory thrills with razor-sharp satire. Afterward, the theatre spills into a costume-friendly party: part cinephile gathering, part spooky dance floor. It’s the Halloween night for those who like their scares with a side of brains and blood!

City Kino Wedding, Müllerstr. 74, Wedding, starts 19:00, details.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Fishnets, sequins and shouting at the screen! This cult favourite beams into Berlin’s biggest dome for a cosmic sing-along. Under a swirling galaxy of stars, Rocky and Frank-N-Furter shine larger than life, while the audience does the Time Warp like they’re on another planet.

Zeiss-Großplanetarium, Prenzlauer Allee 80, Prenzlauerberg, through Nov 1, details.

ART Stalker: Halloween Party

Charlottenburg’s art-bar goes gothic with a Halloween bash that mixes live riffs, DJ eats and a stage brimming with theatrical flair. It’s equal parts gallery, rock show and costume party, with just enough goth sparkle to keep things delightfully kitsch. If you like your scares with glitter and your rock with eyeliner, this one’s for you.

ART Stalker, Kaiser-Friedrich Str. 67, Charlottenburg, starts 19:00, details.

Pansy’s Halloween

Pansy presents phenomenal Halloween moods at SO36 with dazzling drag-shows on display. Expect sexy and spooky sounds as the annual costume-contest unfolds with a cash prize up for grabs. The dead will most certainly dance the night away.

SO36, Oranienstr. 190, Kreuzberg, starts 22:00, details.

Britzer Garten: Halloween im Park

Berlin’s prettiest park goes full fairytale as glowing pumpkins, flickering lanterns and rustling leaves transform the landscape into a glowing autumnal dream. It’s less about enchantment – perfect for an evening wander if you’d rather be bewitched than bedraggled.

Britzer Garten, Sangerhauser Weg 1, Britz, starts 16:00, details.

Hoochie Koo Halloween Vampire Ball

Kreuzberg’s legendary SO36 gets its fangs out for a rock’n’roll vampire ball. Burlesque performers, GoGo ghouls and retro riffs set the stage for an evening dripping in sequins, blood-red lipstick and vampire glamour. It’s decadent, campy and just a little dangerous – the kind of bash where Dracula would show up in full drag and fit right in.

SO36, Oranienstr. 190, Kreuzberg, starts 21:00, details.
