🎃👻 Thurs Oct 30, 2025: The Free, No Frills, Bad Costume Halloween Thing VI
💰 COST: FREE
🌒 STARTS: @ DARK, runs all night 🌌
(The Halloween Event So Bad, we're doing it again... only worse.) 😈
✨ Stop Trying so Hard. Halloween is all about Fun. ✨
So you want to hit the town for Halloween, but fear the public shaming of your second-rate getup? 😅 Never fear. We're hosting the perfect party to show off that janky poor excuse for a costume… and the badder, the better. 💀👕
🎭 Plus! It's the infamous and hilarious Bad Costume Contest, where contestants show off their stuff and explain what the hell they were thinking 🤔😂. 🏆 Prizes will be had.
With every venue trying to out-do each other 🦇, and so many expensively fantastic costumes afoot, we're taking it to a brand new low. 📉 'Cause after all, you can't Spell Halloween without Low.
🍬 Too old to trick or treat? Of course you are. Still, we got your candy (or whatever else we come up with 🍭). You still have to say the magic words though… ✨
So grab that dollar store outfit 🛒 you wore last year, or make up some janky crap from home 🧻✂️.
👉 Pro tip: Wait until the day of, for optimal bad costume results.
🎉 You can probably expect:
🎤 A DJ with a microphone calling out those great bad costumes.
🥉 Second-rate prizes for the most half-assed costumes.
🍬➡️🍫 Unwanted candy exchange.
💪 Feats of Strength and daring.
👕🎃 Ugly Halloween sweater judging.
🎙️ Open mic costumed confessionals — from the POV of whoever you’re dressed as.
👻🔥 Non-scary fireside ghost stories told by “a ghost.”
🍹 On-the-fly, never-before-invented Halloween drink specials.
🎶 Oh, the music! 🎶
DJ beats after 9pm 🕘, plus mysterious judging criteria 🤫 and crowd participation encouraged 🙌.

After all… how bad could it be? 0_o
📌 COST: FREE
🌑 STARTS AT DARK
This event is revolving — pop in on your way to or from other spooky stops. 👀
❓FAQ’s
“What If I have a GOOD costume?!”
👉 Good costumes welcome too… they only make the bad ones look worse 😏.
“What if it’s not worse than last year?”
👉 We’ll give you your $0 back. 💵😂
“How do I unload my uneaten Candy Corns and Circus Peanuts?”
👉 🤮 You are a monster. Unwrapped candy not accepted. But hey, you can always make it rain 🍬💨!
This FREE night of ridiculousness starts at dark 🌒.
👻 Make it your evening, or make it a stop-by. Either way… Happy Halloween! 🕸️🦇🎃
