Halloween Club is a place where you can celebrate—and publicly demonstrate—the spirit of Halloween any time of the year you want, which really comes in handy at holiday parties where everyone is Santa-ed out and you wanna be the grinning skull-faced ghost of Christmas Future. (Thanks, Halloween Club!) This time of year is obviously Christmastime for Halloween stores, so the La Mirada Club—the one you stare at when traffic stops on the 5—is hosting a mega-event with costume contests, costume showcases, costume vendors and designers, discounted costume pieces for you to root through and even a meet-and-greet with the monsters from Knott’s Scary Farm. Cosplayers and Halloween obsessives alike are invited to the contest, with first prize being a $500 Club gift card. So dress up, gross out, then show up and make the wimps throw up—tis the season, after all.
