Shipwreck Halloween @ The Queen Mary
What’s a Halloween week without a visit to our very own haunted ship, The Queen Mary, in Long Beach? You can hit this up all week long, but there’s far too much comepeitition keeping you in Hollywood after tonight, so go rub elbows with ghosts on the dock of the bay tonight.

Le Loup and Random Patterns @ The Echo
How about a little pop variety to kick the mid-week slump? Le Loup visits from D.C. with big beats and harmonies, paired perfectly with locals the jazzy Random Patterns as an opener. Expect visuals and brass and goose bumps swooping up and down your skin.

Pandora’s Halloween Spectacular @ Vibiana
The club launched this week,especially for Halloween. Stretch out on the cross-shaped light up couches as vampires and zombies tempt you with dark powers. You got to love the idea of being in a church on Halloween with hip-pop superstar Asher Roth leading the way into darkness.

The Haunted Geisha House Part II
Three rooms, three DJs, and lots of scary sushi to absorb all the fancy cocktails you can buy at the return of The Haunted Geisha House. Chris & Dave turn Ashton Kutcher’s restaurant into a ghoulish dance party, with DJ Catherin McQueen, DJ Emma Ford in the Haunted Back Room with the hard stuff, and DJ Uniek in the Scary Main Room spinning mash ups for those too spooked by house and trance beats.
