GSN pick for gay men on Saturday, October 28: If circuit music, a diverse age range of people and big production values are your thing, head to the Horrorween Festival at Moore Park followed by an Oxford Street venue.

Horrorween is pricy at $160 though. If you’re young-ish and on a budget, Poof Doof’s Demon Doof at ARQ Sydney will be more your style.

With Halloween Wh*res cancelled this year, we suspect most people will end up going to Poof Doof at ARQ or DéjàBOO at Universal’s Superclub if they’re not going to Horrroween, which is expected to have more than 3000 people in attendance.
