A roaming zombie photographer will capture partygoers throughout the night and Film4 producers will pick the winners!
Professional make up artists will be painting revelers with all donations going to Big Issue from London venues + Temwa (a charity building sustainable communities in Malawi) at Bristol Big Chill bar.
Special cocktail potions are bubbling with special Halloween themes running through all of them, the dolls legs are being dipped in red paint and ready to hang from the inner caverns of every Big Chill space.
The line up includes a heart stopping mix of our favourite DJs including back from the dead old school ravers Altern 8 (complete in blood spattered white biohazard suits), psycho billy prince of darkness Gaz Mayall and DJ Driis (Aka Stringer Bell from the Wire) across all the venues so wherever you drop into the tunes are guaranteed to be dancefloor filling smashers.
Let’s get gory…
