With the Halloween season rapidly approaching, the air is growing crisp and the desire for spooky festivities is at an all-time high. To celebrate the occasion, BACARDÍ and UPROXX have officially teamed up to launch Good Spirits, a vibrant and campy new series dedicated to exploring the rich traditions, lore, myths, and stories that define the holiday. The series promises to bring together some of the most recognizable icons in the horror genre to share their personal takes on the season.
The inaugural episode features none other than Terrifier scream queen Lauren LaVera. In a candid conversation, LaVera dives deep into what draws her to the horror genre, her enduring love for Halloween, and her expert advice on hosting the ultimate spooky gathering. From curating the perfect atmosphere with decorations to setting the mood on the dance floor, LaVera offers a masterclass in party planning.
For LaVera, the essence of a great Halloween party lies in self-expression and liberation. She emphasizes that the centerpiece of any successful bash should be a fog-filled dance floor where guests feel entirely uninhibited. For her own celebrations, this means embracing her inner “female rage” and curating a high-energy playlist featuring artists like Ashnikko. It is a refreshing perspective that proves even a seasoned scream queen knows how to keep the party light and fun.
As the episode draws to a close, LaVera leaves viewers with an empowering message: “Embrace yourself, love yourself, and have the best Halloween ever.” It is a sentiment that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the series. You can watch the full first episode of Good Spirits above to get inspired and kick off your own Halloween season in style.
