This year, partygoers can double their fun – one special Halloween bash even takes place a week early, so you can enjoy two weekends of spooky debauchery. Below is a guide to some top Halloween 2025 parties in Berlin, each with its own flavor, from hardcore techno marathons to a kinky event. Get your outfits ready and prepare for a wild ride! 

Unleashed.Berlin – Kinky Halloween(Oct 25 at Insomnia)

If there’s anything more quintessentially Berlin than a techno party, it’s a kinky techno Halloween party. Unleashed.Berlin’s “Kinky Techno Halloween” is the event for those who want Halloween with a sexy, libertine twist. Held one week before the main Halloween weekend, on Saturday, Oct 25, it transforms the infamous Insomnia club into a haunted playground with two dancefloors, six DJs, open play areas, and spooky decor . Unleashed is loosening its usual fetish dress code for the occasion – costumes aren’t just allowed, but totally encouraged . Whether you come decked in latex or dressed as a caped crusader, naughty nurse, vampy vampire or “latex bunny,” you’ll fit right in among the hundreds of creatures of the night dancing in this delightfully sex-positive atmosphere .

What makes this party especially great for curious newcomers is the welcoming vibe. Unleashed prides itself on being judgment-free and LGBTQ+ friendly, inviting everyone from seasoned kinksters to first-timers testing the waters to feel at home . The music will be pounding techno, the crowd playful and open-minded, and you might even discover a new side of yourself by the end of the night . And since it’s an early Halloween celebration, you won’t miss out on the actual Halloween – “party hard with us on Saturday, then do it all over again on the 31st somewhere else – why have one Halloween when you can have two?” as the Unleashed team cheekily puts it . In true Berlin fashion, this kinky costume rave lets you double-dip: enjoy a fetish-friendly Halloween on the 25th, then still hit the big events the following weekend without FOMO .

HIVE Berlin Halloween (Oct 31 at DSTRKT)

For hardcore ravers, HIVE’s Halloween edition delivers a 10-hour onslaught of hard techno and trance mayhem . Taking over DSTRKT (the club formerly known as Anomalie) on Friday, Oct 31 at 22:00, HIVE promises to “bring nothing but hard techno & trance energy for 10 hours”, urging you to bring your wildest costume and dance through the night . The lineup is stacked with heavy-hitters (artists like Restricted, Rikhter (Live), LESSSS, Kander, NOTMYTYPE, and more are on the bill), so expect relentless beats until morning. Costumes are mandatory for entry , and the organizers aim to make this Halloween “scarily unforgettable” . In short, HIVE at DSTRKT is the place to be if you want a full-throttle rave with a spooky twist – imagine pounding bass, strobe lights, and a crowd of costumed techno freaks losing themselves in the music. It’s Halloween, Berlin-style, for the serious clubbers. 

House of Horror(Oct 31 at Aqua-Höfe)

Looking for a grand, immersive Halloween party? House of Horror – Berlin’s Big Halloween Masquerade at Aqua-Höfemight be your ticket. Set in an industrial monument turned event space, this party starts 9:00 PM on Oct 31 and invites thousands of masked figures into a multi-area haunt . The venue will morph into a labyrinthine house of horrors where techno meets necromancy . In other words, expect thumping electronic beats fused with eerie, theatrical touches: creepy performances, secret dungeon spaces, and visual effects blurring the line between reality and nightmare . It’s billed as a “multi-sensory spectacle” that interweaves house/techno beats with spooky performances and literally turns night into day – meaning the party will rage all night long.

The House of Horror is part masquerade, so don a mask or elaborate costume to join the revelry. With multiple dance floors and music ranging from techno to pop/electro, it caters to a broad crowd ready to celebrate Halloween in style. The best part? It’s friendly on the wallet (early tickets were around €11–€22) and even offered free entry before 22:00 for those who grabbed a ticket (so early ghosts get the treat). If you want that classic big Halloween party vibe – think haunted house meets club night – Aqua-Höfe’s House of Horror is the place to be for a ghoulishly good time. 

ESTROGUN – FAME RITUAL(Oct 31 at OXI Club)

For an avant-garde, concept-driven Halloween, head to OXI Club in Lichtenberg on Oct 31 for the Estrogun – “FAME RITUAL” special. This event comes shrouded in mystique and queer punk flair – promotional teasers even ask, “TRANSGENDER CULT TAKES OVER BERLIN? ILLUMINATI RUMORS SWIRL AROUND OXI’s HALLOWEEN RAVE.” . The buzz is that Estrogun, a notorious trans-femme collective from Prague, is masterminding a 12-hour spectacle that’s “less a party, more an initiation” ritual . In other words, expect an immersive theme night with a storyline: part rave, part performance art, and fully outrageous.

Starting at 23:00 on the 31st until 10:00 next morning, FAME RITUAL will unfold across OXI’s two floors with a lineup bridging techno, hardcore, and queer club sounds. (Insiders have hinted at artists like Chippy Nonstop, Lil Autotune, and members of the Estrogun crew on the decks .) This is the Halloween event for those who want something different – a blend of edgy music and theatrical cult-esque atmosphere that only Berlin can deliver. Come in your most inventive, gender-bending costumes and be ready for anything. If the idea of a secret society rave initiation excites you, OXI’s FAME RITUAL is your Halloween nirvana. 🕯️👻

A Nightmare at Kater(Oct 31 – Nov 3 at Kater Blau)

Finally, for the truly indefatigable partiers, Kater Blau offers Halloween in marathon mode. “A Nightmare at Kater”starts on Friday Oct 31 at 22:00 and doesn’t stop until Monday Nov 3 at 01:00 – yes, that’s nearly three days of nonstop music and mischief ! Kater Blau (simply known as “Kater”) is famous for its never-ending weekenders, and Halloween is no exception. This marathon event features an all-star cast of house and techno DJs spread across Kater’s various floors (Hoppetosse, Acid Bogen, etc.). The lineup includes both international and local favorites – names like Lea Lisa, Huerta, Elisa Elisa, Confidential Recipe and many more appear on the bill , with different crews curating each floor for a diverse sound experience.

The vibe at Kater will be less about flashy costumes (though feel free to dress up!) and more about the endurance party spirit. Imagine drifting from one dance floor to another at 4 AM, stumbling into surprise performances, or catching an impromptu sunrise set by the river – all while fellow party monsters in quirky outfits keep the energy alive. Kater’s Halloween marathon is as Berlin as it gets: come-as-you-are, stay-as-long-as-you-can. It’s the perfect way to round off the Halloween festivities for those who simply don’t want the night (or weekend) to end. Just remember to pace yourself – this “Nightmare” lasts till Monday morning . 

Pro Tip: No matter which party (or parties!) you choose, plan ahead. Halloween is a popular weekend in Berlin, so grab tickets early and arrive in costume (many events require it). Embrace the city’s anything-goes attitude – whether you’re clad in fetish gear, a funny costume, or classic horror gore, you’ll find a dancefloor where you fit right in. Stay safe, respect the club rules (especially consent at the kink events), and get ready for a Halloween in Berlin that you’ll be talking about well into next year. Happy haunting!
