Spirits and Spirits

Nothing stinks more than spending weeks and weeks planning out and tracking down all of the parts of your Halloween costume, only to arrive at the party and find just two other people dressed up -- and they’ve merely thrown on bedsheets. Weak. To ensure this doesn’t happen to you again this year, get all costumed out for Halloween V, happening from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. at 3207 Washington Boulevard (formerly the Kastle nightclub). This deliciously dark party requires costumes, so you won’t be the only one getting into the spirit of the holiday, and you might even win the $500 prize! Plus, the party’s venue is pretty creepy -- that place has to be haunted, right? -- and proceeds from the night benefit the worthy Doorways, an organization that supports people living with HIV/AIDS. To take part in the spooky soiree and enjoy dancing and drinks and tricks and treats, purchase your tickets in advance at www.halloweenstl.com; admission to the party costs $40 to $100.
