For those of you who thought Halloween was just candy, costumes and jack-o-lanterns, holy Zombie Prom do we have some news for you. The Skint’s All Halloween Edition is one frighteningly long list of everything cheap, free and Halloween in the city all week long. There’s no shortage of Brooklyn goings-on, from tomorrow’s all-female accordion orchestra to Friday’s Cherylween dance party at the Bellhouse, to the Flavorpill Gods and Heroes party Saturday night with Shiva, Batman and Moses. Just check the ratings before you bring the kids, or your little princess could end up at “an ominous Edward Gorey themed Victorian Halloween fete with a murder mystery undertone.” See the whole skint-approved Halloween schedule here.
