Haunted house to terrorise Zabbar

Curtain Raiser will be holding the 4th edition of Dar il-Waħx - Malta’s unique popular Haunted House - for the first time in Zabbar. The organisers said that this year it will include extraordinary features such as lighting effects and HD projections amongst others, which should make the 35-minute experience fun, thrilling and scary.

Situated in a 200-year old police station in the heart of Żabbar, at the 4th edition you will meet various creatures, ghouls and demons, twisted scenes and above all, frights.

Hundreds have already booked their walk-through and those interested to get one of the very few €15 tickets left are welcome to reserve their own by calling 99595906.

Alongside to Dar il-Wahx visitors can also enjoy one of the 36 local and international films being displayed during The Malta Horror FilmFest.

Children will also have their share of fun and spookiness. Saint James Square, right infront of St. James Hospital will be turned into Malta’s first outdoor Halloween village the night of October 31st. Disney Villains will add up to the crazy scientific experiments, puppet shows, quest hunts, bouncy castles, games and activities. Children are invited to put on a creepy costume to contribute to the atmosphere.

If this is not enough to fill up your Halloween weekend, then Zabbar got even more on the list. Notre Dame theater will host a local talent satirical show by a group of youths. “Ta’ Gewwa Jfallu” shall add to the humor and fun of this exciting weekend. €5 tickets for adults and €2.50 tickets for children will be made available by the door. Each soiree starts at 19.30.
