The Best Halloween Parties in the City

You’ve got your costume (Rehab Bieber). You’ve got your flask (contents: pumpkin vodka). Now all you need to do is figure out which parties will have the extreme pleasure of hosting you. Here are five to get you started...

Fun with Playboy Colombia Playmates
BUNNIES

Fun with Playboy Colombia Playmates

The only thing hotter than Playboy Playmates: Playboy Playmates from South America. Playboy Colombia is throwing a PJ party that will also double as a search for Miss December. And for a frame of reference, Miss December ’09, Viviana Castrillon, will be there. It’ll be nice to see her again.

Haunted Gatsby at the Raleigh
REVIVAL

Haunted Gatsby at the Raleigh

This entire Deco playland—restaurant, ballroom, penthouse—will transform into a burlesque-y flapper fest, with gratis beer from 9 to 10pm. So for this one, you might want to calibrate your costume toward something in the Nucky Thompson range.

Swedish Scares in Midtown
TURNTABLES

Swedish Scares in Midtown

There’s nothing more blood-curdling than Scandinavian electro-pop. And you’ll be able to see for yourself on Saturday, when the three-pronged DJ attack called Swedish House Mafia takes over a temporary structure in Midtown, filling it with flashing lights and women in costumes. Its name, translated into English: Masquerade Motel.

Cocktails via Freddy Krueger
NIGHTMARE

Cocktails via Freddy Krueger

Wynwood at midnight can be a frightening place, but Cafeina is dialing the scariness up to 11. Cocktail waitresses will be dressed like Freddy Krueger and passing out shots every time the song “1, 2, Freddy’s Coming for You” is played. We have no idea what happens when Feist’s “1234” is played.

Oct 30, 8pm-3am, no cost, Cafeina, 297 NW 23rd St, 305-438-0047

Gratis Caipirinhas and Sugar Comas
CANDY CORN

Gratis Caipirinhas and Sugar Comas

Your candy-hunting days may be over, but the Mondrian still wants you to embrace the sweets with this Candy Land-themed blowout. At both the pool patio and the indoor bar, they’ll be sliding you gratis caipirinhas from 10 to 11pm to the sounds of DJ Brooklyn Dawn. No word on DJ Bronx Dusk.

Oct 30, 10pm-2am, $25, Mondrian, 1100 West Ave, 305-514-1500
