10 Halloween Weekend EDM Events for All You Freaks

The traditional candy might not pass for these Halloween events. When we were young we went door-to-door asking for sugar packed treats. Come to find out, when you're older the celebration continues by going raver-to-raver asking for a different kind of kandi that probably wasn't being thrown in your pillowcase when you were Buzz Lightyear back in 2001. 

With all the massive Halloween celebrations and music festivals that fall on Halloween weekend, we felt it was necessary to build a list of our top 10 Halloween Weekend EDM events for your reference. These events were picked based off their lineups, reputations, and wickedness. 

1. Wynwood Fear Factory - Miami, FL

This Halloween event is teaming up with Global Empowerment Mission to donate 100% of its net proceeds to benefit Hurricane Irma and Maria victims. Single day and two day tickets are available for purchase so prepare to be spooked, startled, and surprised by a helping of Halloween attractions and A-list superstars exclusively for Florida. 

2. Escape: Psycho Circus - San Bernardino, CA

Insomniac Presents: Psycho Circus, featuring freakish gatherings at the Slaughterhouse and Ghoul's Graveyard stages, and (if you dare) the chance to enter The Asylum which features 30 distinct environments, 120 interactive performers, movie-quality set design and special effects across 32,000 square feet of immersive theater!
