Okay, so you decided on a costume way back in July (sexy … something). Then, you beat the rush at that bizarre place on 4th Ave., headed to Ricky's to stock up on enough makeup to beautify a chorus line, and now, you just need a place to show off your outfit. Definitely don’t let a night of Halloween indecision haunt you. Instead, treat yourself to one, or all (live dangerously), of these Frighteningly Awesome Halloween Parties!

Can’t Wait Until Saturday? Hop aboard the Queen of Hearts, an awesome paddlewheel boat docked on the West Side, for Halloween on the Hudson. This three hour tour takes you beneath the bridges, past the Statue of Liberty and along Manhattan's bejeweled skylines—not that you'll notice, since you'll be so busy getting blasted in your Gilligan (or Ginger) costume. Best of all, if you spy a mermaid or some weird Hudson River monster…it could be real! For more information, and special half-price tix, click here and use the promo code HALF.
Friday, October 30, 7pm-12:30 am
Pier 40, West Side Highway @ W. Houston St.

Want to Make a Long Weekend of it? Porky’s – the former frat-tastic bar on W. 21st St. – is now The Yard, and they’re making their debut with a frighteningly huge, three-night long party! (And here you thought you had to save the long weekend festivities for your birthday!) Okay, if you must pick just one night, go Friday. That's when you'll encounter an expanding roster of guest stars, including Mini-Me, a Cheetah Girl, Eliot Spitzer's mistress and maybe even a New York Jet or two. What is this, Halloween or the Howard Stern show?
Thursday, October 29 through Saturday, October 31
The Yard, 55 W. 21st St. @ 6th Ave., Chelsea

Still Miss MJ? Then you’re in luck, because 24 Prince is dedicating Halloween weekend to the memory of the gloved one with their Haunted Neverland. Attractions include a dance-off (duh), a themed dinner featuring MJ's favorite dishes—think flavored popcorn and fried chicken—and a make-up station where experts can help you perfect your MJ look. We're totally going as Bubbles.
Thursday, October 29 through Sunday, November 1st
24 Prince, 24 Prince St. @ Elizabeth St., SoHo

Is your costume frighteningly crap-tastic? Well, you don’t get the self-annointed title Greatest Halloween Party Ever by doing something as played out as a Best Costume prize, do you? Actually, this Williamsburg shindig is going to have one of those, but donning the worst costume may also make youa winner. Finally, a place to strut your leftover Sarah Palin mask or your half-assed attempt at Balloon Boy! Also, free Pierogis from 8-10, a ball pit and—since its Brooklyn—some kick-ass bands (including Dragons of Zynth and The Vandelles).
Saturday, October 31st, 8pm
Warsaw, 261 Driggs
