The Golden Apple of Odulphus & the 10 Fears. The theme of the eleventh edition Halloween Oirschot. Pretty scary!

(Participants/acts can look here for hints and inspiration!)

Age-old secrets, rivalries between Oirschot and Best and a legendary golden apple form the beating heart of the Halloween 2025 story. Once one municipality, now separated since 1819 until … (?), but linked by the mysterious figure of Saint Odulphus. According to tradition, he received a golden apple with magical powers from an angel …

Huize Schoonoord on Bestseweg becomes the starting point of a dangerous treasure hunt when Alex and his sister Tilly stumble upon an old diary of their grandfather, Count Du Monceau. All his life he searched for the apple – and was declared a fool. Now his grandchildren want to clear his name and find the apple. But they are not alone…

Past Oirschot chapels, ghostly tombstones, church statues and hidden altars, they make their way. But life-threatening obstacles await on their path: a decapitated ghost horseman, giant spiders, murderous ladies-in-waiting, living scarecrows, a sadistic dentist, and even bewitched employees of the old dairy factory. Each obstacle depicts an ancient fear – from death to thunder, from injections to drowning.

To find the apple, they must overcome their fears and gather strings for the Harp of David in the Oirschot basilica. Only if they manage to play the Odulphus song cleanly will the altar open. But… will they succeed, or will evil win?

A journey full of magic, dark figures and age-old riddles – Halloween 2025 promises to be a terrifying and compelling adventure!
