Midnight Movies at Curzon Soho

SCI-FI-LONDON has been presenting the best all-nighters since its first festival, but that doesn’t mean we have exclusive rights to them. The BFI have had some good ones recently, and now our old friends at the Curzon Soho are having a night of horror this Friday October 31, presented by the co-writer & co-creator of The League of Gentlemen, Jeremy Dyson.

The Midnight Movies Halloween all-nighter kicks off with a live performance from cult band “Crème Brulee” and their hit Voodoo Lady, then Jeremy presents a spooky ghost story and a quartet of voodoo movies along with the League of Gentlemen’s Christmas Special on the big screen! With caffeine on constant supply, themed cocktails, DJ Chris Thrash playing suitably creepy music, bad facepainting and a breakfast fit for a zombie for all those who survive the night! Dress code: ‘Halloween’.
