Five Things to Do Under $10: Halloween Weekend Edition

Greetings, fellow penny-pinchers! It's time for your weekly rundown of all the super cool, yet refreshingly cheap stuff you should do this weekend. As we're all aware, it's Halloween time, so we made sure to give this list a spooky twist. Read on for deets on this weekend's most cost-effective  ways to get down. It's two straight days of crazy costume wearing, so join in!

Hulaween
5 p.m. Friday, October 30, at Mai-Kai, 3599 N. Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale. Visit Facebook. 

The 7th annual Hulaween is happening at Mai-Kai, and we can’t think of anything more simultaneously tropical or creepy. Slip and the Spinouts will be throwing down with their musical tunes with not one, not two, but three sets of their rockabilly sound. There's also a costume contest, half-price tiki cocktails until 7 p.m., giveaways, and more. This may be one of your only chances to dress up as a tropical zombie.

The Night Before Halloween
6 p.m. Friday, October 30, at Absent Heart Studios, 3685 Investment Lane, West Palm Beach. $10 cover, $8 in costume Visit Facebook. 

This West Palm party will feature tons of goulishy good entertainment. Bury December, Deviant, Fall as Villains The Truth Untold, Newfound Line, Bury December, and even more will be jamming out to your heart’s (or black soul’s) content. This is Bury December’s last show and Newfound Line’s first show, so there's plenty of rock 'n' roll rising from the dead here. Cover is $2 off for those in costume, so indulge in the creepy spirit. Both the dead and undead are invited.
