Epic Halloween Entertainment and Party Entertainers

We don’t want to tell you what the “best” Halloween entertainment is because, quite frankly, that’s down to you.

Everyone has different tastes when it comes to the spookiest time of year, so this list is inclusive to all event types and preferences. (However, we do support and encourage any of your gruesome and elaborate Halloween ideas – just saying.)

Halloween Entertainment Perfect for Public Events

When out in public, it’s safe to say that you need to abide by the rules (sorry!), which means no giving children nightmares or sending adults into cardiac arrest.

So these acts are ideal for all ages, they’re fun, theatrical and bring all the spookiness required to your public Halloween events – ideal for family-friendly Halloween events.

Walkabout Devils

Our walkabout devils are a group of rebel walkabout characters scorned from down under ( no, not Australia – we mean hell.) Banished to earth and now seeking humans to taunt. These devilish characters are super fun for your Halloween parades and, despite being a bit too cold themselves, will warm up your Halloween event nicely!

Illuminated Skeleton Puppets

Standing eight feet tall, our illuminated skeleton puppets are rather difficult to miss! These two roaming characters interact with the crowd, bringing a playful Halloween feel to parades, carnivals and family events.

Their glowing costumes really come into their own after dark, making them a fun choice for evening parade entertainment.

The Skeleton Stilt Walkers

Truly creepy but mega awesome are these skeleton stilt walkers! These towering creatures will delight in spooking your public guests, ideal for town centres, carnivals, parades and more.

We have a whole range of creepy Halloween Stilt Walkers available, from demons to aliens, suitable for any Halloween theme, whether it’s a sci-fi nightmare or hellish horror scene.

Pumpkin Heads Walkabout

This happy and friendly fellow is no different to your average human, except for the pumpkin as a head. Pretty standard for Halloween, though, these guys will turn human heads with their fun and charismatic personalities. A fantastic Halloween entertainment idea to hand out gifts at spooky public promotional events or product launches.

Vampire Halloween Act

Our gothic vampires are sure to add chills and thrills to your public events! Ideal for corporate Halloween parties, guests will love posing for photos with our red-headed vamps.

Giant Talking Troll

At nine feet tall and seven feet wide, our giant talking troll certainly won’t blend into the crowd. Specially made armour and realistic skin give this roaming creature a suitably fearsome appearance.

Invite him to wander your Halloween festival or themed event, where guests can meet him and pose for a photograph. You might need to take a few steps back to fit him in!

This is just a snippet. We have loads more Halloween event entertainers and performances available for your public events. You can see all our public Halloween entertainment here.

Halloween Party Entertainment Ideas

Here we have a selection of your finest (depending on your definition of finest) Halloween party entertainers and performers for your events!

Movie Halloween Entertainers

From terrifying to well more terrifying…want to give your guests a famous fright? Nothing says A-list Halloween event like a movie character feared and remembered in the nightmares of many fans! From Freddy Kruger to Joker’s sidekick Harley Quinn, we have Halloween Movie Entertainers to meet and greet guests, roam your event space or stand on the spot and stare menacingly…what guest wouldn’t enjoy that?

Creepy Contortionists

You’ll never complain about back aches again once you have witnessed our Halloween contortionists. Twisting into all sorts of unimaginable positions, these Halloween party entertainers are as entertaining as they are fascinatingly gross and creepy!

One of our favourite acts to throw in the mix at your Halloween events, and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser or disperser – well, wouldn’t you run if Samara from the ring was coming for you?

Zombie

Urrrgggh…ZOMBIES! The classic end-of-the-world character, guaranteed to be a Halloween hit! We have the best looking zombies around as well…so that’s always a bonus!

Steampunk Circus

If you’re looking for something vintage, edgy and damn right cool for Halloween, then our Steampunk Circus is the one! This freakshow act is a captivating and daring stage show, great for gala dinners or festivals featuring your choice of acts. From fire eaters to sword swallowers and ankle grinders, this variety Halloween show is an unforgettable spectacle…if your guests can bear to watch!

Gothic Hoop Performer

This modern and captivating Halloween act combines incredible contortion and acrobatics with hula hooping! Inspired by Wednesday herself, this gothic costume and eerily seductive act is perfect for elegant and spooky Halloween events.

Halloween Horror Clown Crew

Our horror clown crew have taken a rather sinister turn, with distorted masks, battered circus costumes and grins you’d probably rather avoid. They roam through your venue, creeping up on guests and stopping for unsettling photographs.

Put them on arrival duty or let them work their way along the queue at your Halloween scare attraction. Waiting to get inside suddenly becomes part of the entertainment.

Burton Halloween Inspired Performers

Oversized masks, striped hair and monochrome costumes give our Burton-inspired Halloween performers a wonderfully odd appearance. This gothic duo moves silently through the crowd, startling guests and pausing for photographs.

Their slow movements make an encounter feel all the stranger. Pair them with gothic venue styling at your Halloween party, keeping everyone wondering where the twins will appear next.

Scary Monkey Halloween Act

Ragged suits and enormous black feathered wings make our scary monkey performers an alarming pair to meet at a party. These masked creatures stalk through the crowd, using sudden encounters and unnerving movements to give guests a fright.

Include them in your Halloween entertainment for a haunted venue, outdoor trail or themed celebration. They’ll pose for photographs too, if your guests are willing to get a little closer.

Halloween Pumpkin Carving

Perhaps you are looking for a more relaxing Halloween team activity? Take a chill from all the scares with a Halloween Pumpkin Carving workshop. This extremely popular group activity is perfect for getting employees in the Halloween mood, all whilst being creative.

It doesn’t stop there, we have loads of party Halloween entertainment to choose from! You can take a look at our entire Halloween catalogue here or drop the team a message.

If torturous toys aren’t enough, they can now be joined by hauntingly creepy dolls! These characters range from a demented jack-in-the-box to a verocious ventriloquist (he never shuts up and seems to talk all on his own…hmm)

Creepy Clown Performer

Creepy is only one way to describe this clown…nightmarish, gruesome, terrifying are a few more. With that glaring smile and big red nose, how could you resist such a creature at your Halloween party? Or pop him in your halloween scare attraction, he loves nothing more than scaring unwanted guests.

Danger Themed Shows

There’s no danger of this Halloween entertainment not shocking audiences. Nails in the nose? Why not? Swallow a sword….sounds great! Eat some fire…tasty stuff! Most of these dangerous acts your guests would not have witnessed before…because quite honestly, it’s not normal. That’s why it makes such a shocking show for corporate Halloween events. Just make sure your guests can hack it.
