Shanghaiist Halloween Party: Scary (kind of) reminder No. 2

Due to our strong personal convictions, we wish to stress that the Shanghaiist Halloween Party in no way endorses a belief in the occult (or Bollywood for that matter).

That quote makes a lot more sense if you have just watched the long version of Michael Jackson's Thriller video (or at least the very beginning of it) like we just did -- hard to believe it really scared us back in 1983. But please, please, please watch the spectacular Indian take on Thriller (second video above) -- and a special prize goes to the first person who arrives at the Shanghaiist Halloween Party on Saturday sporting jheri curls, a red pleather suit and Dracula teeth.

Lots of people have asked just where exactly Shanghai Studio is. A valid question. It's not too far from Arch. The map to the right shows exactly where it is -- the reddish dot marks the spot.

And now, the spooky party details once again:
