Lineup for Chills in the Chapel
Following our round-up of the top backpackers’ parties over Halloween, I’ve discovered more great events coming up to celebrate this often overlooked holiday.
For travelers in London - and everyone who has to stay close to home and work (like me) - the pick of the bunch has to be Union Chapel’s (on Upper Street, Islington) appropriately titled ‘Chills in the Chapel’ week.
Starting tomorrow, the impressively atmospheric church is screening four top horror movies (including Lynch’s The Elephant Man and the unbeatable Peter Cushings - Christopher Lee duo of the 1958 Dracula) every night in honor of Halloween.
Candles and lighting make the films suitably spooky but it’s the setting that really makes this fright fest special - after all, I can think of few more unsettling spots for a scary movie than an ancient church. In a good way, of course!
Tickets are a reasonable £8 a pop and all proceeds will go towards the church’s restoration fund.
