How to get your Halloween Party Entertainment Right
14/10/2018
Electric Cabaret Company, based in between Brighton and London is the home of weird, wonderful and sometimes spooky performers. We specialise in how to get your Halloween party entertainment right. We are going to share some of our special Halloween party tricks and treats with you!
The nights are getting colder, the leaves are turning all the beautiful shades of orange and ochre. Thoughts are turning to the longer nights, the witching hours and the full-on spook-fest that is Halloween!!
Over the years Halloween in the UK has become bigger than Valentine’s Day. With 55% more internet search traffic and massive online costume sales. Will Halloween ever overtake Christmas? Perhaps not but bearing this in mind it’s important to make a big splash with your Halloween entertainment. There is so much competition out there that a few carved out pumpkins with tea light candles just won’t get you noticed any more. You need to know how to get your Halloween Party entertainment right.
We just love taking a walk on the dark side at Electric Cabaret Company. We think that you need to go big, brash and brazen with such an important date. If Halloween doesn’t fall on a Saturday you can celebrate from the weekend before, right up to the big date itself. You can enjoy a whole host of fun, freak filled events.
Provide your guests with an unforgettable Halloween party
From Halloween corporate entertainment and ready-made shows to spooky circus acts, dancers or burlesque performers. Electric Cabaret Company can ensure an unforgettable experience for you and your guests this coming Halloween.
How to get your Halloween party entertainment right with some of our favourite Halloween Party & Performers Ideas
Here are just a few ideas based on just some of the Halloween performers available from Electric Cabaret Company:
Stilt Walking Zombies & Devilish Demon Firebreathers
You can certainly cause a stir outside your venue and draw guests inside with a devilish demon to spin and breathe a spot of ‘hellfire’. A stilt-walking zombie or two can stagger about both inside and out and provide a great selfie opportunity.
Branded Zombie Performers
Consider your zombie performers wearing ripped T-Shirts with your venue logo all spattered with blood. As photos get shared around social media so does your Halloween-ed up logo too. Great for venue owners throwing a Halloween bash or corporate event who want to scare the living daylights out of their guests!
Showstopping Angle Grinders
A serious showstopper is an angle grinding, spark showering Hell’s Angel. This is a much safer act than a fire show. The sparks are spent heat after a certain point, so this can often be performed to stunning effect indoors. Great on those cold and frosty Halloween nights!
A Spooky Magician or a Creepy Fortune Teller
For more intimate, smaller venues a creepy fortune teller always, always pulls a crowd – well, in fact, a queue!… and if there’s a queue why not treat them to some mysterious close-up magic while they wait?
A Dark and Evil Burlesque Act, or even a Boylesque Act!
If you really want to take a walk on the wild side and get everyone talking we suggest dark and evil, sultry Burlesque, Boylesque or a Gorlesque act (google if you dare!). Our burlesque performers will be sure to tantalise your guests!
We can, of course, provide all of the above. If you have your own exciting idea that you’d like us to create or need bespoke choreography and help with concepts, we love nothing more! We are always ready to rock your world and make you look great!
Are you a restaurant, a hotel or entertainment venue with an older discerning crowd? You need to take a very different direction from the above.
Halloween Cabaret Shows
Cabaret doesn’t have to be all glitzy and Vegas. Halloween Cabaret is gaining popularity every year and customers are known to rush to buy their tickets in advance. We have some stunning ready-made shows for a duration of 1.5 to 2 hours including interval. Perfect for a seated dinner show or a drinks-only show.
Our Haunted House Halloween Show has been performed in all types of venues including a Casino. This became the “Haunted Casino’ for the night where the staff greatly enjoying dressing up as ‘undead’ croupiers, restaurant and bar staff.
The Haunted House Halloween Show
The show begins with a bewitching belter of a song from our ‘mistress of the night’ performer. This sultry hostess welcomes you to her remote and creepy mansion house for a spooky dinner party.
One by one her other dinner guests begin to arrive, each one stranger than the last. Vampire queens with creepy giant bat wings for an exotic bloodbath act. Broken doll fire dancer. ‘Day of the Dead’ dancers. Zombie dancers will treat you to our version of the iconic ‘Thriller’ video. Lots of trick or treat audience interaction and a whole lot more.
We hope that’s given you some ideas. To end on a fun note, we are looking forward to a site-specific Halloween themed photoshoot with a group of portrait photographers this October. Our version of a very alternative camera club!
Modelling on the day will be our fave dark and twisted sideshow magic man, our stunning sorceress, burlesque and Isis wings dancer and singing showman and our master of the dark side of cabaret.
Look out for our favourite shots appearing on our gallery page soon.
