Stay Ghoul
The Best Halloween Parties in the City

With Halloween falling on a weekend this year, everything is amped up around town. Which means you need to start planning. Here's our list of the best events 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.
