Even in this summer of heatwaves, there's a chill in the air, and we think we know where it's coming from... London Month of the Dead is looming on the horizon.
The ghoulishly good festival of death and the arts stalks into town for the entirety of October (these days, it creeps into November too), putting a cerebral spin on things that go bump in the night.
Expect fascinating talks on the macabre, candlelit cemetery concerts and screenings of classic horror movies with live piano accompaniment. Yes, it's wonderful for goths, necromancers and their brooding brethren — but Month of the Dead appeals to anyone who's culturally-curious.
The atmospheric Victorian Brompton Cemetery Chapel hosts a number of events.
