Scare Tactics

2008 Halloween Tips and Events

Black fishnet stockings? $22. Fine for ___ing in public? $100. (Sorry, ociffer.) Keeping things classy this Halloween? Priceless.

Scare yourself straight with ritzy fright night options.

If You’re Blue
Get your Halloween high in small doses with nostalgic penny candies from the new Richards Variety Store at Midtown Promenade (931 Monroe Drive; 404-879-9877). Wax lips, Chic-o-Sticks, Necco wafers, Razzles, Honees, and Pez will take you on a sugary trip down memory lane.

And Don’t Know Where to Go
Your days of bobbing (for anything) are long gone. Sip hot toddies and spiced cider from creepy skull and crossbones mugs by local potter Yoshimi Hosoda (MudFire, 175 Laredo Drive; 404-377-8033).

Why Don’t You Go
Horror movies were never your thing. L.A. Theatre Works presents a radio-style double feature of War of the Worlds and The Lost World, offering just a hint of terror. Tonight, 8 p.m., at Ferst Center for the Arts (349 Ferst Drive; 404-894-9600).

Where Fashion Sits
College Park vintage shop Poor Little Rich Girl stocks glam treasures that are more Breakfast at Tiffany’s than I Dream of Jeannie. Shop sequined gloves, pillbox hats, and frocks — some of which have been in movies (3393 Main Street; 404-423-9546).

Puttin’ on the Ritz
Find a scary good playlist right here, from the ghouls at DailyCandy.

Talk about thrilling.
