Spooktober Funk

Hyderabadis went all out as the Halloween fever gripped everyone.

Restaurants

and pubs across the city hosted Halloween parties which saw guests turn up in their spooky best. Snapshot from the best bashes in town.
It truly felt like Halloween in Hyderabad, thanks to the giant spider webs, skulls, disembodied beings and chopped limbs that you just couldn’t escape, whether you went to the hip new bar or the neighbourhood bakery. While the Moonshine Project, which hosted an Addam’s Family-themed do, had a whole ramp strewn with dead leaves for the zombies,

vampires

and other spooksters to walk on, at Harbour, The Rooftop Lounge, the DJs console and dance floor was decked up with skulls and skeletons. Syn too hosted a massive do with ghosts hanging from everywhere, even as Pharaoh, Vampires and

Zombies

danced the night away.
What’s a party in Hyderabad without plenty of food to dig into? It was no different at the Halloween themed dos either. From ‘Bloody Mary’ (served by bartenders who asked with a poker face ‘it’s real blood, chalega?’) to ‘chopped fingers’ and ‘monster heads’ — there was something spooky for everyone’s taste.

Chocolate monsters or mummy balls, anyone?
The ghoul feast that attracted the star crowd in the city was actor Venky’s daughter Aashritha’s pop-up shop Infinity Platter that dished out spooky delights like chocolate cookies with spiders and web, peanut butter rice crispy truffles with eyes and mummy balls and white chocolate monster faces. Elsewhere, at Cannoli Cafe, lil’ monsters were seen taking their pick from a range of Halloween themed cakes and sweet treats.
