REVIEW BY BOOYORK STAFF:
WEBSTER HELL is a once in a lifetime event. All 4 massive floors of Webster Hall transform into a twisted mausoleum filled with heart-pounding dance music, hair-raising spectacles, and a Halloween party experience one will never forget. Feel the heat as fire-wielding exhibitionists mesmerize the crowd. Sense the horror as flying flesh-eaters soar high over the crowd in the Grand Ballroom, hungry for blood. Experience the excitement as thousands of party-goers, hidden behind masks and disguised as freakish inversions of their former selves, revel together for what is hands down the biggest Halloween party in NYC every year.
The folks at Webster Hall leave no detail untouched in turning the massive, four-story club into a towering mausoleum of terror and debauchery. Each floor is packed with costumed partygoers getting their groove on to an endless wave of throbbing dance music. Meanwhile, fierce fire-eating stunts and tantalizing dance performances happen on and offstage throughout the night—including the horrifying "virgin sacrifice" at midnight. They also award prizes for the scariest, sexiest, and best costume each year. While the competition is steep, the $5000 first-place prize is well worth it.

As darkness falls on Hallows night, uncover the beautiful creatures in search of nocturnal delights. Inferno’s wrath tempts your soul, ethereal spirits radiate a celestial glow. Bevies of Manhattan’s vixens will surely come out to play, in seductive guises that’ll snatch your breath away. The thrill of horror is lurking in October’s brisk air, the wicked and the damned frolic without a care. The pimps and the hos are out in full pageantry as the ghouls and the goblins creep eerily. 21st & Sixth is where Slate’s annual tribute to terror begins again. Step into the light through Slate's haunting brass gates. R.I.P.

REVIEW BY BOOYORK STAFF:
The freaks of nature, monsters, look-a-likes and ancient characters descend on the SkyPort Marina each Halloween. They celebrate the scary festivities on water because all is forbidden on land. As soon as you enter the ship, you're transported to a three-deck dance floor. On the ground level, you'll find DJ ISH laying down Latin House, Merengue, Salsa, and Bachata, along with a buffet. On the second floor, you'll witness the old and new in Reggaeton, R&B, and House by DJ E.M., along with Hookah available and a costume contest. The third floor offers a view of the city sailing past the Statue of Liberty and the New York City Skyline. The party is 21+ and don't forget to bring your costume, otherwise you will be a victim for all the horror on Halloween…
