You lust for latex, spandex, and thigh-high boots. And nothing rocks your world like a little cat o’ nine action. You need a fetish party, and not just any fetish party, you need the biggest, most punishingly good time in town. Join the liberated masses (more than 2,000 are predicted to attend) and latex enthusiasts at the Fetish Factory’s Halloween Fetish Ballat Club Cinema (3251 N. Federal Hwy., Pompano Beach). Salivate over torturously tasty models and performers as they channel the universe’s dark sexuality, then express it in sensual, live stage shows. Tickets cost $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Buy them at fetishfactory.com/halloween. Note: This party is B.Y.O.S. (Bring your own slave.)
‘Cause Nothing’s Scarier Than A Bitter Ex Girlfriend Sorry boys, but some parties are just for the ladies — like tonight’s action at New Moon Bar (2440 Wilton Dr., Wilton Manors). Sure, you can drink all along Wilton Drive during the Wicked Manors Block Party, with all of the female impersonators, vendors, costumes, and themed booths you’re bound and gagged to have a great time. However, if you’re an Eve seeking Eve and want to find the right gal to split your apple, you’re going to want to hang at New Moon.

The Devil’s Music Traditionally the words “sin” and “rock” have gone hand-in-hand, so why not celebrate both? At Night of the Living Freaks you’ll do just that while dancing to a special Blackfinger “Day of the Dead” set. There’ll also be a screening of the horror flick Killer Deal, a costume contest with more than 1,000 bucks worth of cash and prizes, and a belly dance-supported live set by the Beat Bombers. It’s all going down at City Limits (19 NE Third Ave., Delray Beach). Get tickets and more information at citylimitsdelray.com.
