Your 90's-ologist loves Halloween. I am a big fan of the season of autumn, as many who come from the Northeast are, and Halloween reps autumn quite like no other holiday can (Does Columbus Day do it for you? Methinks not). I even love it as an adult, although it seems once a girl hits puberty, she is relegated to wearing a "sexy" costume, as many a blogger has complained before me, so let's not dwell on it. Let's dwell on what there is for Angelenos to do in the scary city that they call home.
The 90's is very excited for the Haunted Hill concert featuring blunted rappers Cypress Hill at the Wiltern. I will be in attendance, so if you recognize me, don't hesitate to offer treats :-) Check out Live Nation's website to find out more about this probably sold-out gig and get insane in the membrane!
Citysearch has rounded up a lot of cool things to do in Los Angeles, including the West Hollywood Halloween Parade on Santa Monica Boulevard. Apparently, this thing attracts over 300,000 people every year; I will probably swing by and find out tonight myself before Cypress hits the stage.
Next on their list is the HARD Haunted Mansion party,
which is sold out, but looks worth bugging a more famous and fabulous friend to get you on the list for. Pretty much every good dance act that you can think of is playing this event, including Justice, Soulwax, Simian Mobile Disco, Crystal Castles, 2 Many DJ's, DJ AM, and many more into the wee hours, I'm sure. These folks may not be 90's, but the 90's advocates shaking your booty, so find a way to get into this if you have the need for speed, so to speak. Check their very funky website here.

Marilyn Manson, a 90's icon if there ever was one and one of my favorite people ever, is hosting a Halloween bash at The Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Boulevard featuring Mixmaster Mike of 90's whiteboy rapper faves The Beastie Boys and DJ Danny Masterson. Yes, Danny Masterson, of one of my favorite late-90's TV shows, "That 70's Show." You know you want to get next to Danny. Go dressed as Jackie and see if he bites. More info here.
This last Halloween party tip that I have for you is a bash that is presented by D.A.S.K. Productions and is celebrating the 30 year anniversary of the 1978 John Carpenter film, "Halloween." It's going to be at the Music Box - Henry Fonda Theater at 6126 Hollywood Blvd. Click here for more info.
I'm going to leave you with some of my favorite Halloween/goth-themed music...Have a BOO-itful night!!
Ministry - Everyday is Halloween (1984)
Type O Negative - Black No. 1 (1993)
The Misfits - Halloween (1981)
Marilyn Manson - Personal Jesus (2004 cover of Depeche Mode's 1990 hit)
