Throughout history man has found increasingly threatening ways to enjoy the thrill of being scared –gladiators accidentally-on-purpose forgot their swords on entering the arena, infant Russian aristocrats played hide and seek with communist cohorts, and modern thrill seekers test their metal by spending more than five minutes apart from their iPhones. Scare yourself in a more convivial way with today’s deal: $29 for a full buffet meal, a two-hour live comedy show, disco dance party and sing-along, and a novelty gift at Frightnight Comedy Theatre Restaurant ($64 value).

 

Horror aficionados break into cold sweats when ushered into the devilish den presided over by Frightnight Comedy Theatre Restaurant staff. From the moment entry is effected through creepily creaking doors the entertainment begins, as ghouls, ghosts, vampires and vixens provide pre-show entertainment for frightened buffet diners feeding on delights such as Freaky Fried Rice, Frankenstein’s Pasta, Halloweened Roast Beef and Gravy, Ghoulish Greek salad, Phantom’s Potato and Vampire’s Delight Chocolate Cake. Dessert, tea, coffee and unlimited soft drinks are provided for throats parched by fear.

The spooktacular show hits full swing with a two-hour horror-themed stage performance by some of Sydney’s best singers, dancers, comedians and magicians. Those who have not died laughing then disinter themselves to join a sing-along, dance-along disco party that continues to the stroke of midnight. Photos of freakish exploits remind revellers of their visit to the underworld and a take-home novelty pen allows the authoring of terror tales, murderous missives and deathly diatribes.
