DONNIE DARKO’S HALLOWEEN HOUSE PARTY TAKES OVER E1, LONDON, THIS OCTOBER IN CELEBRATION OF THE FILM’S 25TH ANNIVERSARY CINEMA RE-RELEASE.

AN UNMISSABLE HIGH-TECH, CULT FILM-THEMED INTERACTIVE HOUSE PARTY EXPERIENCE COMES TO LONDON AS PART OF A GLOBAL TOUR, FEATURING FRANK THE RABBIT HIMSELF, ACTOR JAMES DUVAL.

For one unforgettable October, throughout Halloween ON OCT 25TH, E1 London will transform into the world of Donnie Darko — a fully costumed, interactive Halloween themed and music-led experience inspired by the beloved 2001 cult classic starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Drew Barrymore, Patrick Swayze, James Duval, Seth Rogan, Jena Malone and more, marking the film’s 25th anniversary and UK cinema re-release.

“But this isn’t just a screening…It’s a full-blown, 80s-style interactive Halloween themed house party where fans can live and breathe inside a Donnie Darko spectacle” Director, Cinaesthesia Productions. 

This unique venture into the world of Donnie Darko has already seen successful international debuts, with sold-out events across Japan, China, London, Paris Comic Con, Tomorrowland (Belgium), and beyond. As part of a global 28-day countdown, the experience launched into a worldwide tour for 2026/27, with over 28 cities set to step into the Tangent Universe. 

Donnie Darko’s Halloween House Party features rooms with floor-to-ceiling high-tech audiovisuals, as well as a screening of the film itself – though this is not just your regular film celebration and screening. The entire venue is transformed into a multi-sensory playground — with each space designed to draw guests deeper into the surreal world of Donnie Darko. From ambient soundscapes and immersive set design to atmospheric lighting and unexpected narrative touches, every detail works together to blur the line between reality and fiction in this pop culture collision of music, story, and interactivity.

Come celebrate the anniversary of this cult, revolutionary film and lose yourself in a multi-room ‘80sstyle house party this Halloween week in London, taking over E1 in 2026. Step inside an immersive Donnie Darko experience featuring live DJs, bands, celebrity cast appearances, cinematic visuals, recreated film sets, and characters brought to life from the movie. Arrive in costume, grab a drink at Donnie’s themed bars, and experience a rare live appearance from Frank the Rabbit himself, actor James Duval.
