Are you one of those people who never outgrew Halloween; someone who dresses up each year in an elaborate costume, sometimes to the point of non-recognition? Or are you the more reserved type, prefering to just observe while you go about your business dressed as usual (or, as Wednesday Adams put it: “I’m a homicidal maniac- they look just like everyone else.”)? Either way, weekday or not, there will be a lot of people out tomorrow night to celebrate Halloween. If you’ll be one of them, do you know where you’re going yet? Here are a few optiosn for you (this is not meant to be a comprehensive list of all Halloween gatherings aroud Seattle):

ns (You can check them out here: http://atmosfearfx.com/.)Kicking off the night is Power Skeleton. This experimental noise band is bringing in a special selection of musicians from its long list of members to perform a new soundtrack to Evil Dead 2, featuring drums, keyboards, samplers, vocalists, bass, and much more. (Don’t worry, though – you’ll still be able to hear the movie.) Power Skeleton rocked the Screaming Room last month with their original Evil Dead soundtrack, so you won’t want to miss this encore!Next up is Naked City’s own DJ Nicfit. Nick will play a special turntablistic DJ set created especially for the Army of Darkness. (To help you follow along, we’ll turn the subtitles on.) SIFF has called Nicfit’s movie DJ sets “mesmerizing” and “innovative”, which makes this one a Halloween must-see.Oh, and when you swing by, be sure to come in costume – prizes will be awarded to our best-dressed guest! We’ll be announcing more details throughout the month, so RSVP now to stay on top of the news.In case you missed it, this awesome event is completely FREE, so spread the word to all of your friends and come out to help us celebrate one of our favorite holidays, Naked City-style. Let the battle for the couch seats begin!
