For the womyn of Seattle there’s Sapphic Events, SAPPHOWEEN happening at Neighbours on Saturday the 26th from 5pm to 10pm. Tix at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sapphoween-tickets-1012397627557

Neighbours also has spooky images on posters for their Halloween week shows….it looks like they have costume contests on Saturday AND Thursday, the 31st but…go look for yourselves on their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/NeighboursNightclub

It’s Techno Terrifying over at Massive (aka “the old RPlace”) with special djs, lots of giffy graphics and lots of Narky fun. No costume contest (WHAT?!?!?) And, a special “Spooky Weed” edition on Thursday the 31st. Tickets at: https://www.massive.club/

The Seattle Eagle has Swalloween on Friday and Holloween Dance Party with DJ Freddy, King of Pants on Saturday. And, nothing being promoted for the 31st at this point (though we know they’ll be open!)

CC Attle’s has Furry Friday (meaning y’all better be furried up) and Unholy Spirits on Saturday with DJ Nick Bertossi. And, Thursday the 31st WILL feature a costume contest hosted by Seattle Gaymers!

Union Seattle is doing their usual lowkey thing….meaning, no cover and the usual suspects present! But, they have an adorable crow on their poster!

The Wildrose has no special Halloween themed events being promoted on their social media, though they’re open of course. Diesel, Kremwerk the same thing. And, of course our beloved Madison Pub just does what it does best…serving up beer and strong drinks to appreciative lgbtq+ crowds. And, Pony…well, they did the Union thing and made a cute Halloween poster!!! So, if you prefer more lowkey Halloween Week fun, these all might be fun options for those not needing to spend $1500 on an original costume so you can (maybe) win a $50 prize.

The Lumber Yard in White Center isn’t doing anything too big for Friday and Saturday…there’s their Game On Video Game Party on Friday and an afternoon Queer Market on Saturday and a Halloween themed edition of Dolly & the DJ on Saturday night. But, on Thursday, The Lumber Yard will participate in White Center’s big Halloweentown Block Party on Thursday the 31st. More poo:

Our beautiful neighborhood is having a Halloweentown Block Party next week! Our streets will be closed for traffic and open for a night of Halloween fun for all! Lumber Yard beer garden will be open 4pm – 11:30pm. Costume contest for Kraken tix is at 9pm Let’s have a fun and gay Halloween!!

AND, FINALLY there’s Michael & Shane’s 73rd annual COLLIDE O SCOPE: THE HALLOWEEN EDITION happening on Thursday the 31st at SIFF Cinema at the Egyptian! Tickets at https://www.siff.net/cinema/in-theaters/collide-o-scope-halloween-x38645

We’re baaaack! Collide-O-Scope’s annual Halloween celebration returns with a one-of-a-kind found-footage phantasmagoria of hilariously hair-raising film freak-outs and outrageous oddball video! A deliriously demented cavalcade of expertly crafted montage, packed with absurd pop culture ephemera, obscure oddities, and awesome music — all remixed and mashed into an evening of eerily epic entertainment. It’ll leave you gasping with laughter and clutching your little melted face! Plus, the Tingler (aka Seattle’s comic genius Scott Shoemaker) returns to terrify and dismay! We’ve also got truly fabulous prize drawings, a monstrous costume contest, and special spooky surprises!
