A scary Poble Espanyol
From the 1st to the 3rd of November Poble Espanyol will be the most terrifying place in Barcelona… because it’s Halloween! Children and adults can walk through the streets of Poble Espanyol, which are decorated with terrifying objects, and you can enjoy several activities: a game of clues with monstrous tests, a scary costume competition, a fantastic pasaje del terror (an interactive walk-through attraction with live actors!), a marathon of scary stories… and lots of surprises!
You can also just relax and enjoy the delicious culinary offers by various food trucks, or stroll around and check out the little stalls at the Plaza. The square has many toys and there are stories for the little ones.
Dress up as a witch or a sorcerer, a zombie, demon, mummy, skeleton or your favourite horror character, and join the most creepy party of the year with your family and friends. It’s the perfect occasion to spend a spine-chilling time.

‘Little Shop of Horrors’, by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, is a work inspired by a B-movie by Roger Corman, and it premiered Off-Off Broadway and performed for five uninterrupted years on the New York billboards.
The production in Barcelona is directed by Àngel Llàcer and Manu Guix. Editing is faithful to its original script, although Skid Row’s special effects might have projected the plot towards a future ‘Blade Runner’.
A tunnel of terror in the middle of Barcelona
If you want to experience a night of true terror, then come to the neighbourhood of Trinitat Vella. On the night of October 31, 2019 from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. you can enter the time tunnel Juego de Trinis.
A physicist has created a time machine that unfortunately has suffered a nuclear explosion. This event causes history to change, and as a result you will see shocking and monstrous faces of the characters. On the website of Guía de Barcelona you will find more information.
Horror short movies at Antic Theatre
Our last suggestion takes place in Ciutat Vella, and this is the X Festival of fantastic – but short – horror movies at Antic Theatre. The event is also known as The Antic Horror Picture Show. The Best Short Film Award and the Audience Award will be chosen from all entries.
