Halloween 2018: Horror we're not sure we could watch...

-
The build up to 2018's Halloween sure is scary. We've put together all you need to know about the wicked somethings coming your way! Here are the latest nail-biting blockbusters. We've thrown in some television too. Don't leave your television on standby... *crackles

Two of our fabulous performers here at The Lady Boys of Bangkok have already been to see this creepy film. Nat (who's now seen it twice) and Nikki saw in Newcastle...'The Nun'. They haven't been the same since (joke). It's part of The Conjuring universe and we KNOW it's a little bit terrifying.
   
To set the scene, a young nun commits suicide in a secluded Romanian Abbey. (Not a great start.) The Vatican orders a priest and a novitiate nun on the precipice of her vows to investigate the order's dark truths. Just to add into the mix, there's a demonic nun testing their faith, lives and souls! 

The Nun




The Nun

You might be able to still catch this in cinemas. Its franchise is over 30 years old. The reptilian clicking sound they make is unforgettable. These formidable hunters have genetically evolved using DNA from different species. Their triggered return to Earth is contested by a squad of ex-soldiers and a biologist.  

The Predator
The Predator

The 19th of October sees the return of a masked madman. This 70s American slasher classic continues. The knife wielding Michael Myers returns after 40 years of institution incarceration and one bus transfer goes awry. Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) has survived his vicious attack before but this time she's ready to face this monster head on.

This is our bohemian pick: Suspiria. Luca Guadagnino, known for directing 'Call Me By Your Name' has payed homage to the 1977 original with this 2018 "remake." This amazon studios exclusive is available on the 26th October.

 An artistic director from a world-class dance company, a young new addition to the troupe and a grieving psychotherapist are embroiled in this nightmare that even Quentin Tarantino wept with joy over.

 Now we've given you a taste of this year's cinema chillers. We can't leave without reminding you of the return of American Horror Story. It's season 8: Apocalypse. Over the autumn we can watch development in the shelter. It seems life in the shelter might be worth braving exposure to the fallout.

A brief history of clowns to celebrate Andreea's birthday!

-
Image
Hip hip hooray! It’s our crazy clown Andreea’s birthday! The lovable Andreea has been appearing in shows with Gandeys Circus for nearly a decade. Now Andreea is actually French – so perhaps we should say ‘bon anniversaire’! We’re proud to have Andreea as part of our current team in the big top at Butlin’s Skegness . While our other clowns – currently performing at Butlin’s Bognor Regis and Minehead – Bippo and Chico Rico are more traditional, Andreea opts to show off her sense of style with an offbeat modern look. We think her pink tutu / Converse / blazer combo is pretty iconic… especially paired with her blasting boombox! (she’s never been shy of making an entrance). Andreea likes interrupting the action with her silly routines. And you know something else… she is the UK’s only female clown! So you could say she’s a bit of an innovator when it comes to clowning around. With that in mind, let’s look at how much clowns have changed ov

Switswoo we say! If you missed the Lady Boys of Bangkok

Origins of the Chinese Circus

200 BC – 200 AD – Han Dynasty, Sichuan Province – Juggler with balls and knives – Carving, stone of the “Hundred Games.” [source: Chinese Acrobatics Through The Ages, p15] The origins of the Chinese circus are not entirely crystal clear. There are debates and differing opinions when it comes to the exact history behind the circus, which is not a surprise when you take into account how long it has been around! First records of the Chinese circus - including carvings and mural paintings - date back more than 2,000 years to the Warring States period (475–221 BC), with evidence of performances developing further during the Qin and Han Dynasties (221 BC - 230 AD). Although it is believed that the art may have actually started around 3,000 years ago! One theory is that the acts originated in imperial courts, with performers entertaining the houses in a manner similar to western court jesters. However, it is more likely that the circus was a folk art that was later adopted by
