With less than two weeks to go, it’s time to get serious about Halloween. If you already have your costume planned (maybe you took costume inspiration from Bushwick itself), then the next logical step would be to find the perfect party for you and your crew. That’s why we’ve compiled an unlucky list of 13 Halloween shindigs for Hallow’s Eve (and before, too). The best part? They’re ALL local. We may be biased, but we think our hood does Halloween pretty darn well.

BangOn!NYC presents: Warehouse of Horrors @ Secret Location (SAT 9PM, $80)
