The kids are referring to it as ‘Augustween’ over on TikTok, horror films are being released in their droves – Weapons, Bring Her Back and Together are all worth a watch – and even as the sun is blazing and Londoners are swanning about in beer gardens and lidos, the city’s oldest, most menacing residents are at rest, waiting for winter to envelop the city.
Halloween might still feel like ages away yet, but we promise it’ll creep up on you. Give it a couple of full moons, and London will transform, werewolf-like, into a xolourful, chaotic wonderland of eerie characters and costumes, plump pumpkins and events so good you’d die to attend them.
