Halloween in Paris

Still looking for a fun Halloween party? It seems the very American holiday has finally taken hold in Paris, so almost every nightclub and bar is doing something for the big night:

 - Le Showcase (from 10pm, free until midnight, €10 after that) under the Pont Alexandre III, prizes for the best costume, hosted by Count Dracullmann (Nicolas Ullmann).

- The Urban Nights soirées at Six Seven, Ice Bäar and l'Aqua at Trocadéro are having Halloween theme nights, €15-20 (printout the page on the site for the discount); open bars from 7pm-8:30pm.

- Le Paris-Paris  is having a Zombie Disco party, from 11pm, free entry. Costumes required.

- Le Néo Club is also having a Halloween party. Have an awesome costume if you want to get past the doorman (preferably scary: think resurrected rock star, Jason, Freddy, vampire, monster, etc).  Free entry, from midnight.

I got my vampire costume at  "La Poupée Merveilleuse" (9 rue du Temple, across from BHV). They have a huge selection, not too expensive. Lots of wigs. There are also costume rentals in the Passage Brady (10th), on the east end of the Blvd Sebastopol.
