Macbeth: How do you usually ward off evil spirits at this time of year?
Jeff: I believe in meeting fire with fire. I haunt the evil spirits and beat them to the mark.
M: What's your favourite halloween costume ever?
J: Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice.
M: What will you be wearing at the weekend?
J: I will be transformed into the Ghost of Macbeth, personifying the Shakespearean King famed for his evil deeds and eventual madness and demise.
M: There's always a lot of good stuff happening at Halloween, what makes your night stand out?
J: We're the only night fusing together two incredible nights to form one giant weekender special like this. Not only are our djs, burlesque dancers, tattooists, hairdressers and actors all housed under one roof, we've gone all out on the 3 floors of film-set quality decor.
M: Tell us a little about Urban Nerds who you're doing the night with.
J: The Nerds are one of the most successful up and coming dubstep, grime and funky nights in London. They used to host my second room when Fiesta first started and the boys have grown immensely, hosting parties at Fabric, Matter and representing at festivals like Snowbombing and more. They bring an urban edge to the proceedings but with a happy and positive vibe. Aggro is not welcome here.
M: Is there a specific theme or is it just halloweeny?
J: The top floor will be a haunted attic, covered in cobwebs and the charred remains of children's toys. The middle floor is the pyschotic doctor's laboratory/butcher's den. Sheet plastic, no light except UV, blood, brains, gore and the photographic evidence of his female prey. The bottom floor will have a lighter feel to it, blacked out, full of dancing skeletons, a few hung souls and plenty of ghoulish spirit.
M: What's the scariest film you've ever seen?
J: This Japanese film about a secretary who falls madly in love with her boss and horrendously murders him, his children and her deformed brother... can't remember the name but that's probably for the best.
M: Are you scared of the dark?
J: I used to be until at least 15 or so, was well embarassing. But now I embrace it a little too fiercely.
M: Do you believe in ghosts?
J: Come saturday I will be one, so I had better do so!
So, this Friday and Saturday will become Fiesta and Urban Nerds haunted house of horrors, going to be really good come down!!!
