Five 2012 Halloween Parties in South Florida

Looking to Blow This Halloween of out the Park?

Halloween is huge -- $8 billion huge, that is. Seven out of ten Americans will be celebrating this year -- that's 170 million people. And let's be honest, this is a time of year when normal folks tend to go a bit crazy.

Bath salt zombies will be running down the streets. Obamas and Romneys will be pressing the flesh. Sesame Street characters will be popping up left, right, and center. Honey Boo Boo will be walking down the stage. And of course don't forget those token sexy nurses, firefighters, cops, or whatever scantily-clad characters women choose to conjure up.

If you're looking to get in on some of the Halloween action, this is the page for you. We have five awesome Halloween parties for you to attend.

Between Walking Dead and Bath Salt zombies, zombies are kind of a big deal this year. Dada in Delray is jumping on the Zombie bandwagon with its Zombie Apocalypse Halloween Party. The party, which starts at 10 p.m. is offering a free drink for anyone who comes as zombie or any other form of undead. Beach Day and the Butchers will be performing.
