Since 2025
A festival that did not exist
until we built it
Three days for everyone who waits all year for the end of October — and for everyone who has never had a reason to.
Where it came from
Halloween in Greece used to mean a party at a bar, or nothing at all. In 2025 we tried something else: a whole venue given over to it, for three days, with a market, workshops, shows and an escape room.
18,000 people came. That answered the question of whether there was an audience.
For 2026 we moved to the Old OSY Depot in Gazi — a far bigger industrial space that lets the festival breathe, and lets us add an outdoor area that the previous venue could never host.
What changes in 2026
- New venue
Old OSY Depot instead of the Kypseli Municipal Market — several times the space - 16 ticketed workshops
Make-up, mask painting, wand making, potions, herbology, drawing - Special guests
Carlos & Jordi Grangel, the creators behind Corpse Bride and Hotel Transylvania - An outdoor area
Pumpkin carving, escape room and the evening shows move outside
Who it is for
Four kinds of visitor,
one venue
Cosplayers and pop culture fans
Come in costume. Half the people around you will be. There are photo spots built like film sets.
Families
A separate zone for children, face painting, crafts and a family screening. The more intense horror is clearly signposted.
People who like small makers
Dozens of Greek independent businesses in one place, most of which you will not find on a high street.
