Between the ticket counter, and the club was a gauntlet of terror. The chainsaw being used to chop up this bloody mess sounded surprisingly real, and with the fake fog and low light, looked like a scene straight out of a modern day horror movie.
Last Saturday night, on the eve of Halloween, I headed to Mango’s Discoteca with a group from the International House Medellin (where I lived back in August).
We arrived before the doors opened, which worked out well because we got to explore the club’s spooky decorations before it filled up.
And it was filled by 11 pm with partygoers, almost all of whom were in costume and character.
The women looked amazing, finding ways to make just about any costume a little naughty.
The most popular outfits? Fairytale characters like Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood, angels, nurses, and cops.
The guys were everything from gladiators to nerds, but I wasn’t paying much attention to them!
This midget bloodbath was the last obstacle to pass before hitting the main room of the club.At Mango’s, it’s inevitable that girls (and guys) will end up dancing on the bar before the night is over.In addition to the girls on the bar, lots of girls, like these at the table next to us, were dancing on their chairs all night.Mango’s professional (house) dancers were in full effect, though their outfits weren’t nearly as sexy as the customers’.Lina and I with our table’s bottle of rum. It didn’t take long for us to empty it!Colorful shots on display at the bar.Colombian angel
If you’re in Medellin next October, I highly recommend celebrating Halloween at Mango’s!
