Beat Bachs’ annual Halloween party is set for Oct. 26 at Fix Ultra Lounge.

Trick or Treating is for kids. Bobbing for apples is for kids. Trix are for kids.

Halloween, however, is also for adults, and in addition to the list of Halloween events and activities for families we published this morning, we’ve also collected as many costume contests, dance parties, and Halloween gatherings we could find around town for grownups as well.

We’ll certainly add to this list between now and Halloween, and feel free to add anything we’ve missed in the comments.

Somebody beat that Ghostbusters guy who wins all the costume contests every year, won’t you? Good luck.
