THESE GHOULISH THINGS...

Partial as I am both to dressing up as a Goth and gratuitously terrorising the elderly, it may come as some surprise to note that I am not doing anything Halloween-related tonight. However, if anyone fancies a genuine fright I would heartily recommend a peculiar establishment called Garlic and Shots on Frith Street. It is a Swedish Metal bar which also serves food, and operates under the following maxim:

"No dishes are served without garlic. You can always order extra garlic, but never less. As you leave the restaurant you should feel like you've been garlic marinated. This is our mission from God."

What it neglects to mention is that by the end of the night you will be quite literally sweating garlic, and will have to be quarantined for a full six weeks before being deemed fit to re-enter normal society.

Also worth trying out are their range of 101 different flavoured shots... My personal favourite is Bloodshot, which comprises double Vodka, tomato, chilli, spices and (yep) garlic. Far greater men than I have capitulated under its fiery intensity, so I'm told...

So you weren't expecting the pumpkin or terrifying entertainment then? And you obviously would have been welcome to come in Goth garb.

The terrifying entertainment I had taken as read. The pumpkin was a nice surprise though...
