Horror Con Halloween will bring live entertainment, zombie acting sessions and a horror market to Paisley Town Hall on Friday 30th October 2026.

The adults-only event, organised by Northern Frights, runs from 5pm to 10pm and is open to people aged 18 and over.

The programme includes horror burlesque, live entertainment and an appearance by professional contortionist Minnie Knot.

Visitors can take part in the Undead Academy, a zombie performance taster session led by Stevie Douglas and Chris Campbell from Scare Scotland. They will teach guests how to move, behave and perform like the walking dead.

The session is included in admission, but class sizes are limited and spaces are allocated to ticket holders.

Tickets also include a professional horror photo shoot with Nightmare Fuel Photography and digital copies of the images.

There will be horror characters, photo opportunities, quizzes and prizes. Each ticket includes one welcome Halloween cocktail or mocktail.

Independent traders will sell artwork, clothing, collectibles and gifts at the horror market. Food, additional drinks and purchases from traders cost extra.

Visitors can attend in costume or their usual clothes.

More information and tickets, £25, are available at www.horrorconscotland.co.uk/halloween.
