Toronto Halloween Guide
Halloween is one week away! But there's so much to do before the big day!
You need to get a costume, get some candy, and then figure out exactly what you're going to do that night.
Whether you're planning a big night on the town, a party at home, or a night of handing out candy to trick-or-treaters, this guide should give you some ideas.
Costume Stores:
If you need a costume, buying or renting one from a costume store is usually the easiest way to get the most authentic one possible. Costumes from costume stores tend to be more expensive though.

CiRCA is always a good time, and they've got Kids On TV and whoever Riot In Belgium is coming this same Friday... but I've got the feeling it won't feel anything like a Halloween event, more likely it'll be like any other Random Land night, and the promotional materials back that up http://www.circatoronto.com/randomland/randomland_evite_oct26_email.html
I'm somewhat interested in both of the above, but also disinterested for the reasons given.
Black Creek Pioneer Village has events for both families (in the day) and adults (at night) and I think I'll probably be checking out the lat(t)er. http://www.blackcreek.ca/allhallowseve
