It’s true, this weekend is the start of all the spooky spirit stuff across the South Fork. Plenty of locales are gearing up to don their Halloween best, put on a party or some sort of scary scenario, and get down to their own version of the Monster Mash well before the clock strikes midnight. We got a plethora of happenings across the Hamptons that are starting this weekend: click here to see what’s kid-friendly, click here to see what’s up for the adults. Almond revamps its “World Famous” karaoke night, as this week “Scary-oke” hosted by Mister Lama, starts at 9:30 p.m. and Cowfish has its own spooktacular soiree (deets on that below!).

If Halloween isn’t really your thing, there’s still plenty of good fun to be had! Art, nature, comedy and wellness are all on the docket to be celebrated this weekend. Plus, if you’re on Shelter Island, the inaugural event of the Ram Film Society kicks off this Saturday.
