Overview
- Across France, Halloween programming ranges from club parties and live music to theme-park nocturnes and cinema marathons, with Paris standouts including YOYO at the Palais de Tokyo, Club Haussmann and Point Éphémère, and some organizers adding rules such as a Cavaillon haunted house requiring children to be accompanied after thefts last year.
- Major Toulouse draws include the Mercure Compans hotel’s Grand Parcours de la Terreur on Friday night and a two-night Nuit des Zombies game in the 8‑hectare forest at Domaine de Pontié in Cornebarrieu.
- In Québec, a collaborative Halloween Québec map lists more than 2,400 decorated homes that welcome the public, often free with optional donations and detailed visiting hours.
- Streaming platforms time releases for the holiday, with TF1 Info noting HBO Max’s Ça: Bienvenue à Derry advancing its second episode to Oct. 31 alongside new offerings such as The Witcher on Netflix and Chucky on Paramount+.
- A social-media costume trend riffs on the Oct. 19 Louvre theft, while Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau confirms two suspects indicted and remanded in custody and five additional arrests in Paris and Seine-Saint-Denis.
