Frightful Modern Parties and Halloween Club Events in Los Angeles 

Most of the Halloween dance club info doesn't come out until the last minute.  Last year's info is listed to give you an idea of this year.  Check update flags and their web sites for the latest.

** Warning, clubs on this page are adult clubs.  Almost all are over 21 and therefore links on this page are meant for 21 and over. Proceed at your own risk.

Check with your regular club to see what they have planned.  Many have costume contests that never make the newspaper.

On the other hand, if you don't normally hit the modern club scene, Halloween is a fun night to to see LA in all it's flavors.

Most clubs listed here are on the west side of LA.  For your Halloween dancing pleasure, da Cat has selected a funky  range of club styles.  Please check sites for costume and style info.  If you get into something too wild, don't say we didn't warn you. At the bottom of this page are more places to find out about clubs.
