Soho House Halloween around the houses in UK, EU and Asia

From immersive art installations to drag balls and creepy carnivals, find out where members got their chills and thrills from on Halloween weekend

By Anish Patel and Ollie Horne

Halloween in the Houses is always a spectacularly spooky affair. In the UK, multidisciplinary artist and host Hannah Marshall conjured up a beautiful nightmare at Shoreditch House with immersive art installations and spine-tingling performances. In Europe, guests were taken on an odyssey to outer space in Amsterdam and Rome, while members in Istanbul went back in time to the 1800s. In Asia, members stepped inside a world inspired by American Horror Story, where nightmarish clowns, warped contortionists and twisted dancers haunted the halls. Scroll down for all of the action.

The Ritual at Shoreditch House

Multidisciplinary artist and local member Hannah Marshall suspended a performance cube (installed by Lucid Creates) above the pool at Shoreditch House, where contortionists twisted their bodies into all sorts of spine-tingling shapes, and artist Jazmin Bean performed their latest music. There were also DJ performances by Soho House regulars Dom Chung, Harriet Rose, and Storm Mollison.

Hell in Paradise at Soho House Paris

‘Welcome to Hell’ read the sign above the door in Paris. Inside, the House was transformed into the Garden of Eden and Cabaret de L’Enfer (Montmarte’s famous hell-themed cafe). Earthly delights came in the form of sugary meringues and coconut cotton candy, which members washed down with Bacardí cocktails before losing their minds to performances by artists Zebra Katz and Wayne Snow. For the daredevils in the room? The option to get inked (artfully, of course) by tattoo parlour Zombie Tears.

Space Odyssey at Soho House Rome

The galaxy was projected onto the ceiling at Soho House Rome, where members were bathed in an extra-terrestrial light. Performer Roberta Pitrone led the entertainment with a voguing masterclass, which was followed by music sets by DJs Efee and Stella Vomb.

Utopia x Dystopia at Soho House Berlin

Berliners got down to a dichotomous night of utopia vs dystopia at Soho House Berlin. Interactive light installations greeted guests on the ground floor and the rooftop, and DJs played on two floors under moonlight. There was a back-to-back set by Spencer Parker and Patrick Mason on the eighth floor, and Davide Troiani gave a dance performance at the strike of midnight.

Creepy Ballroom at Soho House Tel Aviv

And the category is… ballroom, creepy ballroom. It was a queer Halloween in Tel Aviv as members of the LGBTQIA+ community came together to celebrate the scariest night on the calendar. Guests, including actors Yuda Levi and Amit Rahav, enjoyed performances by bewitching drag artist Talula Bonet and opera singer Inbar Livne Bar-On, before tucking into a spooky Halloween feast. As the clock struck 12, DJ Shay Lerner and Oron K worked their magic on the decks.

Soho House Hong Kong

Our Hong Kong members stepped inside a world inspired by American Horror Story, where nightmarish clowns, warped contortionists and twisted dancers haunted the halls, and potent poisons like Bloody Pearls, Noir Negronis, and Bleeding Colada Slushes were brewed.

Space Oddity at Soho House Amsterdam

Guests were taken on an odyssey to outer space in Amsterdam, where the House was transformed into an intergalactic spaceship, equipped with virtual reality games and light installations. The music was out of this world too, with music by DJs Covergirl Sunny, Mitchell Kelly, Makez, and Willy Party. The cocktail of the night? Bacardí’s Blood Moon, of course.

A Tragic Love Affair at Palazzo Corpi, Soho House Istanbul

Attendees to Soho House Istanbul’s Halloween extravaganza entered a time portal to the 1800s to discover the story of the building, Palazzo Corpi, and its original owner, Ignazio Corpi. Ghosts arose from the palazzo’s past, as guests uncovered the tragic love story between Ignazio and Josephine, who haunts the house to this day. Seven DJs across four floors performed throughout the night, a fortune teller read guests’ futures, and a sadistic doctor made members suffer for their sins in the torture room.

Hallokween at Soho Farmhouse

To Chipping Norton, where Marilyn Monroe, Cleopatra and er… Sandy from Grease came together at Soho Farmhouse for our Halloween icons party. Drag queens Paige Three, Luna Bundy and Mercedes Bends provided the tricks at witching hour, before guests were treated to music by DJs Ross Wilson and Raven Mandella. The drink in the devil’s cup? The Boocante, of course – Bacardí’s potent iteration of our House classic that undeniably led to all sorts of sin.

Haunted House at Soho House 40 Greek Street

Greek Street became the site of a dramatic haunting: vintage analogue TVs and projectors were possessed throughout the House, and a bespoke spooky soundtrack played across staircases and reception areas. Outside, huge spotlights projected far into the sky with more than a little hint of Gotham City.

Witches, Wizards and Warlocks at Soho House Mumbai

Witches, wizards and warlocks – oh my. Cocktails such as the Twisted Potions Witch’s Brew and Haunted Graveyard were concocted at the bar at Soho House Mumbai, and revellers rocked back and forth under the spell of MadStarBase’s DJ set. Stilt walkers picked their way above the crowd, and makeup artist collective MUD painted members’ faces in illusory looks.
