You know what's scary? Halloween falls on a Tuesday this year. But fear not; if you didn't get your fill of partying done on the weekend, there are still some fun mid-week events you can check out tomorrow night.

You know who loves both tricks and treats? Dogs! Get your furry friends into the spooky spirit with an inspired fashion creation and hit Fillmore Street for a costume contest, pet stroll and adopt-a-thon. There will be a costume contest for the kiddos, too; and this event is ‘Teal Pumpkin’-friendly, which means no pesky allergens in your little one’s candy grab bag.
There’s no point investing time and money in a ‘Sexy Whatever’ costume if you aren’t going to strut your stuff all over town. Thank ghouls for pub crawls! This one cycles through a familiar pack of Polk Gulch play places, from Mayes Oyster House to Shanghai Kelly’s with many more stops along the way. Last year, more than 3,000 party monsters attended, so bring the creativity and don’t shy from fancy footwear — a shuttle will be hauling revelers from bar to bar.

Finally, a traditional Halloween event — if your Halloween tradition entails getting sexy and hitting da club. 1015 Folsom is a reliable spot to spend the night dodging evil spirits with sets by Trippy Turtle, MadeInTYO, the Fofofadi crew and 24HRS. This party goes late for a school night, so you might as well start acting like you’re coming down with something now.
