West Australians are preparing for what organisers are calling the state’s biggest‑ever Halloween celebration. Retailers report that high‑concept horror, pop‑culture references and DIY wizardry are the most popular costume styles this year, and the festivities are aimed at all ages, not just children. Halloween falls on a Saturday for the first time since 2020, giving bars, clubs, venues and even Perth Zoo an excuse to host themed events. Planned activities include nightclub raves, bar takeovers, Halloween‑themed pub quizzes, trick‑or‑treating at the zoo and neighbourhood carnivals. Movie fans can catch a triple horror screening at the heritage‑listed South Perth cinema The Revival House on Saturday. The films—The Witches of Eastwick, Candyman and Scream—are part of a five‑day horror film programme that continues on Sunday.
