Donnie Darko's Halloween House Party

  • Film
  • Music

The Melbourne Pavilion transforms into Donnie Darko’s iconic house and universe for one night. Expect a high-energy, cinematic rave experience inspired by the cult classic film, Donnie Darko.

Experience elaborate themed bars, mind-bending audiovisual installations, and an immersive atmosphere that includes a live screening of the film, all crafted to blur the line between reality and the movie's provocative, time-bending world. Meet Frank the Rabbit (actor Jame Duval).

Come dressed in Halloween costume and step into a multi-room, 1980s-style house party featuring live DJs, immersive visuals, recreated film sets, and characters straight from the movie.

Donnie Darko remains one of the most iconic cult films of the 21st century — a haunting blend of time travel, teen angst, and 80s surrealism that continues to resonate with audiences worldwide.
