Longer Term
- Halloween - Little Shop of Horrors - Centerville, VA - October 28 through November 13
- Tickets are on sale for The Alliance Theater's Little Shop of Horrors. The Alliance Theater in Centreville is unique because it produces "family based community theater" meaning that the content is not only family-friendly, but that they cast whole families in their productions. "It is the only theatre in the area that allows parents, grandparents and children to work creatively together on a professional production."
- Halloween - Everywhere - Soon.
- Here's a quick recap of the Halloween events from last week that are continuing: Bennett's Curse, Nightmare Screamplex, Pirate Adventure, Markoff's Haunted Forest, Fright at the Museum, and Ghost Tours.
- Halloween - Cabaret Macabre - Silver Spring, MD - October 28 through November 13.
- Although it's going to be hard to top last year's sold-out run, Happenstance Theater is back with an all-new Cabaret Macabre. "Victorian nightmares, dangerous croquet, and ill-fated twins." It sounds ideal for you anachronists and steampunk fans.
- Comedy - Cinematic Titanic Viewing of Rattlers - Washington DC - 8:00 PM
- I was going to skip any description and just write "Created by Joel Hodgson of MST3K." But wait! There's more! The rest of the cast are MST3K stars. Cut outs yelling at a bad movie, everything we love. When you go to buy tickets online, use the pre-sale code: SLITHER. (See how I watch out for you guys?)
- Halloween - Twisted Knickers Burlesque and Black Tassel Boolesque: Pastieville Horror - Washington, DC - 8:30 PM
- Only The Red Palace could fit that many puns into one title and look pretty doing it. All this burlesque Halloween sexiness reminds me of a Pratchett quote, "Magrat had once considered explaining the symbolism of the witch's broomstick to Granny Weatherwax. It would have been worse than the row about the significance of the maypole." (Witches Abroad)

Friday
- General - All over the place - 6:00 PM to 12:00 PM
- Kevin Nealon may be sold out, but I won't leave you home alone on a Friday night! Here's a list of the awesome recurring events that happen on Fridays: Labyrinth Games is hosting a M:tG Innistrad booster draft, Rock and Roll Hotel has a drunk spelling bee, Game Parlor has NoVA Game Night, the Hirshhorn turns into a cash bar after hours, and last but not least it's "Steam Punkin Night" at Piratz Tavern with their usual performances by the Pirates of the Drunken Ferret and Belly Dancing Rosie.
- Halloween - Air and Scare at NASM - Chantilly, VA - 2:00 PM
- A night for the kids to enjoy safe, indoor trick-or-treating at the Air and Space Museum. The kids events will include crafts and experiments. Smaller kids can stay in the Tot Zone to play dress up and hear a story. Get their faces painted and take photos of them with their favorite Star Wars Character. Admission is free (parking at the Udvar-Hazy Center is $15).
- Halloween - Nightmare on M Street - Washington, DC - 5:00 PM
- A Halloween themed pub crawl. This night of cheap beer and fun costumes culminates in a midnight costume contest at McFadden. Their ad warns "Don't wait prices will go up and this event may sell out!"
- Halloween - Clifton Haunted Trail - Clifton, VA - 7:00 PM
- A mile-long trail hike with scares the whole way through. There are also zombie skits and a headless horseman galloping around on his stallion. Read the trail rules before you head out: remember that it's cheating to use a flashlight. Check out their photo page.
- Art - Art Carnage at the Soundry - Vienna, VA - 8:00 PM
- The awesomeness that is the Soundry has another Art Carnage coming up this week. The specifics haven't been posted, but expect a fantastic menagerie of artists and performers. (this may be suspended, we've heard that the Soundry may be temporarily or permanently closed. More news later)
- General - Cemetery Potluck - Washington, DC - 2:00 PM
- Those That Mourn (a DC-area Christian Goth group) is hosting a Steampunk picnic at Rock Creek Cemetery. Bring picnic supplies and some food to share. The suggested dress is Victorian, Edwardian, Gothic, Semi-formal, etc. Here are photos from last year's event. Looks like the DC Area Steampunk group is planning on attending.

- Halloween - Spook-o-rama Variety Show - Washington, DC - 9:00 PM
- Tilted Torch is throwing their third Halloween celebration at the Red Palace. Variety, magic, burlesque, more burlesque, and additional burlesque. With performer names like "Boobz Allen Hamilton" how could you go wrong?
