Spencer's Gifs Presents: A Halloween Celebration
This costume parade/live art installation/dance party even has performances in the bathrooms so you'll never miss a moment of the madness. Oh, and there's also a talking ice block— no matter what that ends up being, we're pretty sure this party's gonna be absolutely nuts. (Free before 10 p.m., $10 until 12 a.m., $15 after)
Where: Santos Party House, Downstairs, 100 Lafayette Street (between Canal and Beach streets); 212- 584-5492.
When: 7 p.m. to 4 a.m.

Fear Factory
The geniuses behind Windmill Factory bring you their newest brainchild, which is part experimental film, part dinner party, and part haunted house. Clowns from Cirque Du Soleil, a performance by Reggie Watts, and the Radio City Rockettes are a few things to look forward to, but make sure to dress your best because you will be filmed!
Where: Acme Studios; 63 North 3rd Street (between Kent and Wythe avenues) Brooklyn; 347-529-6158.
When: 6:30 p.m.

The McKittrick Hotel (Sleep No More)
If you were one of the lucky few who scored tickets to NYC’s creepiest new attraction, Sleep No More, you know how scary and sensational the performance art piece is. But those of us who weren’t as quick to the punch can still get into the after-parties that The McKittrick Hotel has specially created for this weekend (if you're willing to fork over upwards of $100). Friday's event is “Night of the Apparitions,” and though it may be dark, you have to dress in all white—ghost chic, anyone?
Where: The McKittrick Hotel; 530 West 27th Street (between 10th and 11th avenues); 212-904-1883.
When: 10:30 p.m.
