Halloween
WHQ has a long & unrivalled Halloween tradition at WHQ. We are the spookiest, everyone knows it & that is that. In days gone by, each year we always held a mad costume competition & dished out crazy prizes.
We are still in the process of uploading all the previous years images & reviews to this new site, so please bear with us, as it's a flippin' massive job. Not quite yet, but very soon, you'll be able to click on any year, to see the amazing costume photos from that chapter of this mad annual event & read the gushing & ultra harsh (in places) narration.
Halloween @ WHQ back in the day was a lot more than just a night out & a costume competition - it bordered on a being a true 'cult.'
Enjoy this historical little record of cult madness.

Goth Girl
Being a bit of a goth in general does not a costume make... Could potentially go down as another reference we just don't get, but regardless, it's the definition of unspooky, no matter how much she's attempting to make up for it with a cold as ice, Kate Moss-esque glare...

Again lacking in spookiness, but the team ethic is strong again, we like!

Witch 21
Quality eyebrows & we can’t be certain, but we think that may be a tiny little purple Witches hat on her head..?

SID & NANCY.
Masterpiece alert! What a fantastic look. Sid manages to drop in a hand gesture, which to the uneducated eye could be viewed as part of the Ali G-ism infection, which apparently beset areas of Newcastle during the Halloween period. As any connoisseur will tell you, Sid’s gesture, with which Nancy joins him, is a simple basic, old skool, punk rock, two-fingered “F**k Off” & not some nu skool ‘Westside‘ nonsense. Add this raw authenticity in with the historical accuracy of the outfits & the amazing make up job (definitely top 5 this year) & what you have borders on perfection. We will be stunned if this does not score very, very, highly, as this is the very penthouse of spookery.
