Spook season is upon us! Check out our rundown of the best ways to spend Halloween night in Bath, from frightening film screenings to ghoulish ghost tours.

 

Rocky Horror Picture Show @ Little Theatre Cinema 

 

A horror film only by name, The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a cult classic that follows the story of quintessentially American couple Brad and Janet after their car breaks down outside an Old Dark House. A night of fright and frolics quickly ensues as the pair fall into the hands of Dr Frank N Furter and his band of kinky Transylvanians.

 

Those of you looking for a less intense way to spend Halloween this year should book a seat while you still can to catch an exclusive evening screening of this essential musical comedies.
