Halloween is without question one of the nightlife world's top holidays — and unlike other occasions when fashion is key, on Halloween we can dress up as anything we like. Halloween ’19 falls on a Thursday—and that means parties will be popping up all over the month. Here's a guide to some of the top spooky soirees, boo-bashes and monster mashes taking place on Long Island this year.
