Prepare to scare. This weekend we've put together an All Hallows' Eve special: we've got Halloween eats, films, parties, products and competitions (costumes are compulsory throughout). Go for a double party-whammy on both Friday and Saturday, then put yourself back together on Sunday with some surf 'n' turf and a trashy horror. Then, onto the following week for masquerade parties, "Yelloween" and Beetlejuice. This Weekend’s Picks • FRI Hot Creations' Halloween Fright Night • SAT Zombie Soundsystem Cadenza Party • SUN Hawksmoor Air Street BLACK SWAN HALLOWEEN Sanderson Halloween Head to Sanderson's Black Swan Halloween party for a more sophisticated dress-up party (less blood and fake teeth, more feathers and tutus). The Courtyard will be transformed into a gothic fantasyland, where Black Swan-esq ballerinas will dance behind a backdrop of lace while a magician entertains the crowd. Sanderson Halloween, October 31 from 7pm 50 Berners Street, W1T 3NG HALLOWEEN MASQUERADE The Lucky Pig Get into some macabre masked mischief at The Lucky Pig's Halloween Masquerade next week. The usual Neil Diamond will be replaced by live music from Louis and the Polar Bears. Grab a Very Berry Julep and a blood shot off "Doctor Death", and get cosy for the evening. The Lucky Pig's Halloween Masquerade, October 31 from 7.30pm 5 Clipstone Street, W1W 6BB FRIDAY PARTY: Loft Studios Halloween Special PARTY: Hot Creations presents Halloween Fright Night Kick off the scary festivities at Loft Studios (and head to Supperclub's Disco Slaughterhouse for a pre-party). Their intimate autumn music series begins with a Halloween special tonight. Parisian techno kingpin Dan Ghenacia will headline, followed by Circo Loco heavyweight Dyed Soundorom – the two forged a partnership at DC10 this summer – and London's Robin Ordell. Oh, and the party will face out onto Willesden graveyard for extra spookiness. Underground house and techno label Hot Creations are holding their very own fright night this year. Only one half of the influential duo will be there – Lee Foss, minus Mr Jamie Jones – but he'll be joined by a wealth of talent. Richy Ahmed will bring his disco-techno-funk-hiphop-inspired house, followed by Robert James' nu-school sounds and Mark Jenkyns' funky bassline. Hit the dance floor, kitted out. 10pm-6am £15 77 - 81 Scrubs Lane, NW10 6QP 10pm-6am £25 Secret Location tbc YELLOWEEN Buddha Bar's Yelloween The world-class Buddha Bar (there are branches everywhere from Paris to Monte Carlo, Caracas to Mexico City) has finally touched down in London town. The restaurant-bar-lounge offers an exciting mix of Pacific Rim cuisine (Chinese, Japanese and Thai included) blended with Western influences: think venison tataki and smoked duck and foie gras gyoza.

Their 'Asylum Party' will be suitably held in a huge warehouse off Curtain Road, hosting an array of deep house and techno acts. Get lost to techno big hitter Shed, sashay to the funk-fuelled grooves of San Proper or simply get down to London's very own BLM and residents Giles Smith and James Priestley. Any of the masks above will do for costume. After an extensive refurb, Westbourne Studios are now good to go. Under the helm of DJ Seb Fontaine, the club will host new DJ talent (there's a new soundsystem), cultural and art events (there's also a hidden cinema) and a new members' club (£99 a year). This weekend, they're teaming up with Cadenza for a Zombie Soundsystem smasher (for non-members too), offering up underground house music, a horror soundscape and zombie photobooth. Fancy dress is essential, and there'll even be a secret afterparty from 6am. 9pm-6am £14.50 Factory 7, 13 Hearn St, EC2A 3NN 9pm-4am £15 242 Acklam Road, Kensal Town, W10 5JJ PRODUCT PICK Our Exquisite Corpse Skulls Because no Day of the Dead party would be complete without a beaded skull, handmade by the Huichol people of Western Mexico. Obviously. Our Exquisite Corpse Skulls available at LN-CC PRODUCT PICK Tatty Devine for Him and Her If you're debating what to dress up as this Halloween, let Tatty Devine help (minimal effort required). Think cat ears, skull rings and ghost cufflinks. Tatty Devine's Halloween, from £27.50 BOOK NOW Noshable presents Hell Night at Ben's Canteen The third installment of Noshable's monthly residence at Ben's Canteen is spectacularly ghoulish. Channelling the spirit of Massachusetts' East Coast Grill Hell Night, they'll be serving up a similarly devilish spread. The Rib Man will provide 'suicide' wings tossed in 'holy f*ck' buffalo sauce, while Ernesto Lambrada will make his signature Cuban stew of shredded beef brisket. Drinks come from Sipsmith and are aptly named Swamp Water Punch, while dessert (pumpkin pie and squirty cream) comes from Gelupo and ex-Hummingbird Caroline Geaney. Hell Night at Ben's Canteen, October 31, sittings at 7pm and 9pm 140 St. John's Hill, SW11 1SL £30 for three courses SUNDAY EAT: Hawksmoor Air Street FILM: Paranormal Activity 4 Hawksmoor have just opened in Piccadilly. The Art Deco space comes complete with a Claridge's Fumoir-esque bar and a huge brass wall constructed from reclaimed lifts. They have the usual steak offerings, but there's another focus on the menu: seafood (by The Seahorse chef Mitch Tonks). Expect turbot, monkfish, John Dory and Dover sole simply grilled over coal, as well as a large selection of shellfish – and an extensive white wine list. It's in soft launch now with the big opening on November 1. Surf 'n' turf just got cool again. It's no cinematic masterpiece (and neither were 1, 2 and 3) but it's just the tonic for a scary Halloween watch. The story goes much along the same line as the others: suburbia, strange neighbours, weird happenings and scary footage – and a few creepy children thrown in for good measure. Alternatively, you could always stay in and rent a 90s slasher – we were thinking the Scream quartet. 12pm-10pm Mains from £22 5A Air Street, W1J 0AD Times vary £13 Cineworld, 13 Coventry Street, W1D 7DH AGENDA PICK Tim Walker: Story Teller He's shot for the likes of British, French, American and Italian Vogue, W, Vanity Fair and The New Yorker, and done ad campaigns for Valentino, Mulberry and Hermès. Now, one of fashion's most influential photographers, Tim Walker, is exhibiting at Somerset House in line with the launch of his new book. Expect colourful, dream-like images – like Tilda Swinton in Reykjavik, Agyness Deyn amongst Namibian sand dunes and Karlie Kloss with Humpty Dumpty. There will also be props and models on display, including the scary giant dolls used for the infamous Italian Vogue shoot. More info BOOK AHEAD Battle of the BottleS Head to WineChap's latest monthly bottle-off at Italian wine bar Super Tuscan in Spitalfields. Owner Nick Grossi will pick four wines to square up against four chosen by WineChap. After tasting and voting, the wine list will feature the winners (until the next battle in November). They'll also be laying on a hearty Tuscan feast to go with.
