Halloween isn't just for kids

Halloween is a great holiday for kids, but it isn't just for kids. Adults enjoy Halloween, too, from the candy to the costumes to the scary movies and haunted houses.

South Florida has lots of family-friendly Halloween events. But some of the biggest and best late-night Halloween parties in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and the rest of South Florida are for adults only.

There are big street parties in Wilton Manors, along Lincoln Road in Miami Beach, in Hollywood and in Wynwood, among other locations.

Haunted houses are mostly for adults. Many of them charge more than we would consider free or cheap, but we have found discounts for some, so that you at least won't be terrified by the price.

Our list of 100-plus cheap and easy Halloween costumes at Living on the Cheap includes lots of options for adults who want to dress up and party for Halloween night.
