Halloweening in Colombo can be tough. We say this because apart from like 1 per cent of the entire population, no one really cares about the day as a whole. And as a generation that was partially or more or less raised in front of a television, the whole concept of trick or treating and dressing up like a zombie on October 31st has been ingrained in our minds as cool or just something you want to be a part of in general. Thus why you're here reading this right here instead of some review.
Anywho, whether it be for feeding that inner part of you that cries in desperation to be a part of something out of a movie or it's just for repurposing your Harley Quinn costume from last years comic con, here's a bunch of places you can be at that'll be doing some sort of something for Halloween.
