Stay Ghoul
The Best Halloween Parties in the City

Bloody Good

True Beach Blood Party at the Catalina

This early-in-the-week vampire garden party includes a contest for the sexiest vampire (you'll win a two-night stay), complimentary cocktails from 9 to 10pm and gratis food all night—think pumpkin ravioli and the unfortunately named Hallo-weenies.

411:: No cost, 9pm-12am, Oct 29, Catalina, 1732 Collins Ave, 305-674-1160, RSVP here

Bustiers

Playboy Bunnies at the Shore Club

On this most debauched of holidays, why not enjoy the evening the same way Hef does: discussing current events with bunny-eared Playboy models while sipping cocktails from an open bar (between 9 and 11).

411:: $75, 9pm-4am, Oct 31, Shore Club, 1901 Collins Ave, 888-313-8499, tickets here

Money Shot

Boogie Nights Party at the Awarehouse

The folks from Supermarket Creative are taking a page out of the Dirk Diggler playbook for this '70s-porn-industry-themed event. What this means for you is an excuse to wear gold chains and polyester suits while refueling at the open bar all night long.

411:: $20, 10pm-3am, Oct 31, The Awarehouse, 550 NW 29th St, 305-576-4004

Bootleggers

Boozing at the Raleigh Penthouse

This Prohibition-themed soiree offers you the chance to mingle with sexy flappers and Coco Chanel look-alikes on the deco hotel's top floor. Admission gets you one free cocktail…as for the rest of the night, let's just say a silver flask would be a good prop.

411:: $20, 9pm-3am, Oct 31, Raleigh, 1775 Collins Ave, 305-534-6300, tickets here

Lunar Landing

Attack of the Full Moon

It seems almost too creepy that Halloween should fall on a full moon night, but there you have it. Check into the Ritz's outdoor party wearing your werewolf best and enjoy a few $7 cocktails with your oceanfront views of the moon. Howling encouraged.

411:: No cost, 7-11pm, Oct 31, Ritz-Carlton South Beach, 1 Lincoln Rd, 786-276-4000
