Hong Kong, 26 September 2016 - The top Halloween party in Hong Kong marks its 9th instalment on 29 October in an all-new location – the historic Hullett House. alivenotdead.com will take full advantage of this unique venue to expand the event into a proper Halloween festival featuring drinks, dinner, DJs, dancers, virtual reality zombies, and a special headline performance by Japanese Hip-Hop legends, m-flo from Tokyo. Hullett House will host the event in multiple themed function rooms across the property, including a haunted dungeon in the building’s historic Mariners’ Rest jail cells where the former Marine Police building used to stand. Hullett House’s colonial architecture and historic surroundings will make for a unique Halloween experience unlike any other in Hong Kong. DJs and rappers will perform in three locations across the property over the evening; what’s more, dancers and models in costumes will roam amongst guests, providing the perfect opportunity for scary photos galore! The venue will offer a special Halloween night dinner and party package, as well as bottle service for groups. The festival starts at 6:30pm on Saturday 29 October for dinner guests, and 8pm for the general public. Early Bird tickets (purchased before 20 October) cost HK$400, Advanced tickets (purchased after 20 October) cost HK$600, and tickets purchased At the Door (available until 1am) cost HK$800; all of these tickets include entry and two sponsored drinks.

The film is produced by Clement Cheng (鄭思傑), director of the award winning “Gallants” 《打擂臺 》, and directed by new director Alan Lo (盧煒麟).
