Fri 30 Oct 2015 - Sat 31 Oct 2015
October has always been a month of birthdays and events for us, but more importantly, for my Halloween crazed husband, it's Fright Month! On October 31st, his most favourite holiday of the year comes alive. This year it falls on Saturday with more and more people jumping on the bandwagon to simply do something a little different and have a load of fun. I've put together a list of a variety of activities and things you can do this Halloween. I'm sure there's something for everyone!
Trick or Treat
First up, for the trick-or-treaters who want to wander the streets trying their ghoulish antics, here are a couple of places to go:
Horbland Graveyard
This American family resides in Woodcroft and is renowned for their Halloween horror house. They brought with them their American tradition and it is beyond your wildest nightmares. They will be setting up once more and inviting you to their home for two nights only at 5 McCormack Crescent, Woodcroft.
Open on Friday 30 October and Saturday 31 November from 8pm till late.
Cost: Entry fee to be confirmed ($3 each last year)
Roxanne Avenue
This is a new location that popped up last year. Formerly from Grand Boulevard in Craigburn Farm, they've managed to transform their driveway on 5 Roxanne Avenue in Aberfoyle Park into a Halloween grotto. The first year already saw them welcome and scare nearly 200 people. I wonder what they have planned for trick-or-treaters this year? Here's a video of
last year's grotto .
Open Saturday 31 October from 5pm, but the darker it gets the better the experience will be!
Cost: FREE
Adelaide Gaol Trick or Treat Trail
Perhaps wandering the streets isn't for you; how about going to gaol! Adelaide Gaol with all its history and haunts promises a safe and fun-filled Halloween for children up to 12. Each child will get a trick-or-treat bag and passport to collect their treats at each booth.
Tickets must be pre-purchased by Friday 23 October. Event is on Saturday 31 October

If Trick-or-Treat is not really your thing, here's a few other activities happening on the scariest night of the year.

Hoosegow Day of Dead Dinner
Hoosegow Charcoal Restaurant sits on Magill Road and delivers the most delicious chargrilled food. Especially if you like meat. This Halloween they are having a special Day of the Dead Dinner featuring a 4 course set menu for $65 per person. There will be entertainment by Alma Flamenca and judging by the photos last year, the staff might just be scarier than you think. I have personally dined there a few times and the food is amazing so it's an opportunity to go on a themed night. By the way, Hoosegow means jail... I can't guarantee you will leave.
Menu available on Friday 30 October and Saturday 31 October
