Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
You couldn't swing a bag of candy without hitting a costumed character this past weekend during the buildup to Halloween, particularly at local bars and nightspots.
Countless revelers and nightlife patrons embraced the spirit of the scary season and donned alter egos and colorful outfits for the evening.
Not every costume was good, however. Truth be told, some were downright creepy. Among the Lady Gagas and Black Swans, which seemed to be the most popular choice for women, (and not to mention all the Top Gun pilots and Mad Hatters) were a variety of outfits that were both outrageous and offensive.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
