2010 Halloween parties in Denver

It's that time again: Time for scantily clad spectres and beer-maddened zombies to fill the streets of Denver. Time to make out with someone whom you will only ever know as "the mime." Time to realize that your liberal arts degree is pathetically useless when trying to engineer a way to drink tequila shots through a 99-cent hockey mask. That time is HALLOWEEN!

As usual, Metromix has got this covered. From blues shows to massive club nights, we've run down all the details for a spectacularly spooky night out (except for catching a cab — you're on your own with that one). You may also notice a listing for our own get-together, set for a little hole in the wall we like to call the Marriott DTC. Yeah, we'll have acrobats and stuff.

And while you're at it, check out our sweet annual Halloween guide with costume shops, haunted houses, party pics from previous years and more!
