India : This Halloween, 50+ SOCIAL outlets are bringing GHOSTED to life, turning the nightmare of unanswered calls, messages left on read and people who disappear without a trace into a full-blown Halloween horror. Because while ghosts may be scary, being left without answers is a horror story of its own. With dark humour, spooky surprises and a few emotional scars along the way, GHOSTED brings a familiar digital-age phenomenon to life this Halloween.
Across SOCIAL, the nightmare unfolds through ghosted mirrors, emotional-damage danglers and banners declaring the ultimate plot twist: “It’s you. Not me.” At the entrance, guests will receive toxic blocked-contact name tags serving brutally funny one-liners, while the COME DRESSED AS A RED FLAG dress code invites everyone to unleash their most questionable alter ego. With eerie installations, and a generous dose of Halloween havoc, SOCIAL turns the modern-day horror of being ghosted into a night where disappearing acts are welcome, and the only thing scarier than a ghost is being left on read.
The experience will unfold through a specially curated cocktail menu, playful installations and a line-up of resident and guest DJs. The result is a setting where the ghosts are not always supernatural, the humour is a little dark and disappearing acts are very much part of the plan. With a mix of ghostly interventions, emotional damage, and tongue-in-cheek references, GHOSTED gives the season a distinct SOCIAL spin.
“Ghosting has become a modern-day nightmare that almost everyone has a story about. At SOCIAL, we believe the conversations shaping youth culture deserve a space of their own. With GHOSTED, we’re taking this all-too-familiar horror and giving it a distinctly SOCIAL twist this Halloween. SOCIAL has always been a place where people can show up as themselves, find their people, and feel at home. This time, we’re bringing everyone together over a shared horror, with dark humour, Halloween chaos and plenty of room to rant, laugh and let it all out,” said Divya Aggarwal, Chief Growth Officer, Impresario Entertainment & Hospitality Pvt. Ltd.
Available from 21st October, SOCIAL’s limited-edition GHOSTED cocktail menu takes inspiration from the peculiar, frustrating and occasionally hilarious moments that come with being ghosted. Featuring unexpected flavour combinations, the menu pairs playful names with drinks designed to bring a little spirit to the season.
• Love Bomber: Don’t fall for the passion or fruit. Or maybe do. Vodka, cranberry and orange juice, finished with a squeeze of lime.
• Ick or Treat: A farewell to the mixed signals. Vodka meets sweet litchi and tangy kala khatta.
• Disappearing Act: For all the coffee and movie dates that never happened. Vodka and cold brew paired with popcorn and Coke.
• Catfish (Shot): In honour of the fish that ghosted you. Vodka and blue curaçao, accompanied by a shiny red spark that recalls a connection now lost.
Whether it’s a toast to the things best forgotten or simply an excuse to try something new, the GHOSTED menu adds a spirited twist to the Halloween experience.
On 31st October, SOCIAL’s GHOSTED Halloween event will bring together resident and guest DJs across Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Chandigarh, Mohali, Gurgaon, Faridabad, Noida, Dehradun, Lucknow and Kolkata.
