It’s spooky season, and if you’re like us, that means it’s time to ditch the usual “scary” movie marathon and do something really spine-tingling. And guess what? We’ve got just the thing – Perth’s Murder and Macabre Tour! It’s the perfect combo of creepy, hilarious, and a little bit weird, whether you're dragging your friends along or looking to score some major points on date night.
This isn’t your average ghost tour with flickering flashlights and someone whispering "Did you hear that?" No, our tour is led by Lizzy, the virtual guide who’s equal parts history nerd and sarcastic queen of the macabre. And trust us, she knows *all* the gory details about Perth’s dark side. You’ll get the lowdown on Perth’s most gruesome crimes, shady characters, and enough bizarre facts to make you rethink walking alone at night (just kidding… but maybe not).
Our team LOVES Halloween – like, we are borderline obsessed. We used to be called Dark Stry, after all, because we’ve always been into shining a light on the spookier, darker side of life (and death). There’s something about Halloween that just gets us excited – maybe it’s the costumes, maybe it’s the candy, or maybe it’s because we get to dive deep into Perth’s most chilling tales and call it "work." And if you’re into all things creepy, kooky, mysterious, and spooky, you're in for a treat (pun fully intended).
We even did a collab with our fabulously theatrical friends at Tease Industries, where we straight-up recreated some of Perth’s most scandalous and murderous moments from history. Picture it: blood, drama, a little murder on the dance floor, and the perfect amount of sass. Because, honestly, what’s a little murder on your wedding day if not the most goth thing you could ever do? Or a bit of chaos on the dance floor? Let’s just say we had WAY too much fun with that one. And let’s be real – Halloween is the one time of year you can totally get away with this kind of madness, and no one bats an eye.
Why is this the BEST idea for Halloween?
Let’s break it down:
1. You’ll Actually Learn Something... While Screaming
Lizzy doesn’t just tell you about murders – she makes it fun (yes, really!). Between her dry wit and eye-roll-worthy puns, you’ll forget you’re hearing about gruesome tales of the past. Plus, when’s the last time you learned *and* got your cardio in while running from imaginary murderers? Efficiency at its finest.
2. It’s Way Cooler Than Carving Pumpkins
Let’s be real, we’ve all carved the same triangle-eyed jack-o'-lantern since childhood. Time to step it up. Imagine the thrill of walking through Perth’s spookiest spots with your friends or partner, trying not to jump at every creak in the distance while Lizzy calmly explains why that alleyway might not be as safe as it seems. Talk about bonding.
3. Date Night? Nailed It.
Want to impress your partner? Forget dinner and a movie – take them on a **Murder and Macabre** date. Nothing says romance like tales of historic crime scenes! If you can survive learning about Perth’s grisliest tales together, you can survive anything (including that inevitable jump scare from a stray cat mid-tour). Plus, Lizzy’s commentary is bound to keep the mood light, so no one’s going home terrified... probably.
4. No Awkward Small Talk
Whether it’s your friends or a new boo, small talk is the worst. But guess what? You won’t need any! Lizzy’s going to keep you so entertained that the only conversation you’ll need is “Did you just hear what she said?!” and “Should we, uh, not walk down this alley?”
5. Halloween Selfies = Sorted
Let’s not pretend we’re not all here for the Instagram-worthy shots. Between the creepy settings, the dramatic shadows, and your terrified expressions, your Halloween post is going to be pure gold. Plus, if Lizzy were real, she’d 100% photobomb your pics with a deadpan face and an offhand comment about how “Instagram wasn’t the first thing to haunt Perth.” You’ll be Insta-famous in no time.
So, What Are You Waiting For?
This Halloween, ditch the basic haunted house and go for something with a bit more bite (pun totally intended). Whether you're trying to spook your friends, impress your date, or just do something different, Perth’s Murder and Macabre Tour with Lizzy is your ticket to a truly unforgettable (and laugh-out-loud) Halloween.
Grab your ghost-hunting gear (aka your phone) and get ready for a spooky adventure you’ll be talking about long after Halloween is over. Just, uh, maybe leave the lights on when you get home.
Happy Haunting!
