The Gold Coast’s best live music venues will offer up a seasonal platter of brains and ghoul this Halloween with six establishments seriously turning on the holiday scaries.

There’s a “creepshow”, “carn-evil”, black widow cocktail, Hawaiian Halloween, and spine-chilling beach party.

And remember we’re a bit weird in Australia not only because we didn’t celebrate the scary season before 2015, but we now celebrate it on different days.

Just kidding, we still celebrate Halloween on October 31 in this country, but in the music game the event bookings override the actual holiday.

Sorry.

Move over October 31, who needed you anyway?

Mo’s Desert Clubhouse, Burleigh Heads
