1) Steve Harlow and Airparty Present Halloween 2007, The Underage and Fabulous:

With a guest list that includes half the cast of "The Hills", Tara Reid (fresh from the hospital for liver damage treatment...go easy, Honey), The Duff Sisters and LA's one and only Paris, you just know the Archdiocese is pissed!!! Why couldn't he have rad parties like that back when Vibiana was the city's oldest cathedral? Hopefully he secured himself an invite and will get to see how Hollywood does Halloween; as slutty as possible! But not without philanthropy; all proceeds go to the LA Shares charity. Hot hoochies and alms for the poor, it's the perfect combination of Trick and Treat...you decide which is which. (Added Bonus: Open bar all night!)

2) Haunted Hollywood Roosevelt, History in the Making:

Legend has it Montgomery Cliff haunts Room #928 rehearsing his role in "From Here to Eternity" and playing the trumpet. In Suite #1200, Marilyn Monroe's ghost has been seen reflected in the full length mirror. There are many stories of ghoulish delight in the Roosevelt's history, now's the time to create one of your own as three ballrooms, the Dakota Restaurant, Roosevelt pool and Tropicana bar (dubbed the Black Lagoon), have all been converted into a devil's playground complete with the unrivaled sounds of Mix Master Mike. Yes, THAT Mix Master Mike, the one who tours with the Beastie Boys and throws down the sickest beats in the land. Don't be surprised if you look up to the 9^th floor to see Monty and Marilyn busting a move, this is Hallow's Eve. (Added Bonus: the party goes until 3am.)

3) Halloween on The Boulevard, Youuuu Betta Work!:

What would Halloween be without the Santa Monica Boulevard Halloween Carnival? Can you hear that? It's the delighted squeal of eight foot tall transvestites who have been waited like school children on Christmas morn for the past few months. This is their night to shine and they pull out all the stops, offering the most ravishing array of costumery you will ever find. With music stages, floats, and the time honored Drag Race and Pageant (held on the 28^th at the corner of San Vincente and SMB), you can feel the electricity in the air building for weeks before hand. It's all about showmanship...showwomanship...showguuuurlship...whatever, you get the point. It's about bringing your Halloween A game! Two words of caution: 1-Parking can be beastly so walk or cab if you can. 2-Nipple glitter is de rigueur as is a fair amount of indecent (but dazzling) exposure. This isn't a night for the prudish or easily offended. (Added Bonus: It's FREE!)

4) LACMA's Costume Ball Spooky Meets Surreal, Art seen as the artist intended...Drunk!:

Not everyone likes clubs thronged with drunken party goers. Some prefer their boozy revelry to be accompanied by a touch of class and culture. For those in search of a high brow Halloween, LACMA welcomes you with open arms. Sure they offer live music, food, and heavily poured drinks all for the price of admission, but they also open the galleries so party goers can stroll through the museum. Yes, that does including entree to the new Dali exhibit. Just imagine seeing that after a few Dali-tinis (a drink they invented just for the ball). But the big event of the night is the costume contest. Prizes up for grabs include a trip for two courtesy of JetBlue, all-access passes to the American Film Institute festival, and gift certificates to Theory, Ciudad and Border Grill. The categories are Most Creative Costume, Best Art-Inspired Costume, and Best Halloween Costume. Expect to see a lot of melting clocks and waxy mustaches. (Added Bonus: Parking is Free and convenient.)

5) The Nightmare Before Christmas in 3-D, The Little Movie that Does:

We love underdogs and no one does them better than Tim Burton, even the story of this movie is one of triumph against the odds. Initially greeted with an underwhelming audience response after three pain staking years in production and glowing critical reviews, the film was rediscovered on home video shelves. Now a cult classic, it wouldn't be Halloween in Hollywood without a limited engagement at the El Capitan. After a loving 3-D overhaul last year, the film is primed to captivate a new generation of rabid fans 14 years after its release. Jack Skellington, The Pumpkin King is ready to spread holiday cheer...What's this? The best seasonal treat since candy corn! (Added Bonus: Sing-Along Shows nightly at 11:30pm.)

Plays until November 18^th, 2007
