Time for the Halloween-post! Again, there’s tons of Halloween-themed clubs and parties around town, but as always, I try to look for the more surprising or even quirky ones. First and foremost, I hope you find your style and flavor from these, whether you are looking for a more atmospheric or a dancing Halloween – or maybe a Night of the Vampire?
Michael Mann – THE KEEP, 4K (1983) @ Cinema Orion
Why not start off your Halloween with a cult classic? Cinema Orion’s Halloween film is a restored classic The Keep by Michael Mann! The film is set in Nazi-occupied Romania, 1941: When two German soldiers ignore warnings and break into a mysterious carved structure, they unleash an ancient evil that grows stronger with every victim. Only an elderly Jewish historian, imprisoned with his daughter, may hold the key to stopping it.
Master director Michael Mann (Thief, Heat) delivers a legendary horror spectacle — a mesmerizing celebration of supernatural terror, enhanced by Tangerine Dream’s (Sorcerer) remarkable score and Nick Maley’s (Superman, Lifeforce) jaw-dropping special effects. Starring Scott Glenn (The Hunt for Red October), Jürgen Prochnow (Das Boot), Gabriel Byrne (Hereditary), and Ian McKellen (The Lord of the Rings).
Cinema Orion presents a new 4K restoration of this long-unavailable milestone of horror cinema.
The film will be shown three times during the weekend:

Emodisko – Halloween @ Tavastia Club
Just check this Edgar-Allan-Poesque introduction: “Autumn arrives, the shadows grow longer. The mist thickens and drifts into the city, the light flees beyond reach, and the cold seeps into bones and marrow more insidiously than ever. The dark creatures and oddities of the night crawl out of their hiding places. The most ghostly time of the year is approaching. Emo nation: are you ready to get spooky?“
The legendary Tavastia club will be hosting a Halloween party, in Emodisko style – Evil Disco! They sure are promising a lot: “a visually stunning club evening full of Emodisko hits and rarities, as well as heavier dance music to match the spooky season and the ED vibe, plus guest DJs and surprises. Expect an unforgettable night and the most epic Halloween party around!“
So expect some true emo bangers and nightly dance moves. The basics of Halloween partying are also there: costume party and prizes – so dress accordingly.

Viaporin Kekri @ Suomenlinna
Here in Finland, it’s not just Halloween season, it’s also our very own Kekri! These two are very reminiscent of each other, so you’ll be well off enjoying Kekri as well. Kekri is a Finnish and Karelian harvest festival celebrated in the fall, at the end of the harvest season and the cycle of the year. Kekri is traditionally celebrated with plenty of food and drink, honoring the dead and giving thanks for the harvest and the past year.
In Viapor’s kekri, based on old traditions, a common urban event suitable for this time has been created for the residents of Suomenlinna, the people of Helsinki and those who visit the beloved UNESCO World Heritage Site of Suomenlinna. Viapori’s kekri is an event full of light and Suomenlinna art, culture and flavors.
