Welcome to the final stretch of Spooky Season<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you’re ready to summon all of your fierce Final Girl<\/a> energy, because this is your moment: We’re facing the season’s final boss\u2014Halloweekend<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our beloved Allhallow’s Eve<\/strong> (that’s old-timey for Halloween<\/a>) falls on a Tuesday<\/strong> this year (groan), which means that some of us Monday-through-Friday folk will decide to responsibly snuggle up at home in our skeleton onesies on the couch, pounding candy corn, watching Beetlejuice<\/strong> and maybe passing out candy to young monsters who dare to knock before passing out ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others who are ~more fun~ will go to the 8th Annual Monster Mash: Good Foot Vs. Slop Stomp<\/strong> that evening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

OK, maybe staying in Tuesday<\/strong> is just my temptation this year, but that’s only because it’s going to be a busy<\/em> weekend in Long Beach and I’m itching to share who will be haunting stages all around town this weekend and on Halloween. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For starters, what are you doing<\/em> with your life if you haven’t discovered local legend Zackey Force Funk<\/strong>? Just listen to this track<\/a>. Toes tapping? Of course they are. He’s bringing the funk to Alex’s Bar<\/strong> this Sunday<\/strong>. Details below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For your consideration<\/em><\/strong>: These bars get an A+ for creeptacular cocktails and\/or deathly decor in my boo-book (sorry)\u2014<\/em>Black LBC<\/em><\/strong>, <\/em>The Hawk<\/em><\/strong>, <\/em>Alex’s Bar<\/em><\/strong>, <\/em>Bamboo Club<\/em><\/strong> and <\/em>The Social List<\/em><\/strong>. Then there’s <\/em>The 4th Horseman<\/em><\/strong>, which caters to the weirdos, metalheads and goths year-round.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s get this party startled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday<\/strong> (Oct. 27)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
