On Friday night, thousands of costumed San Franciscans descended on Mission Playground to dance to loud music, flirt and drink hard seltzers. In addition to your typical vampires and ghosts, transportation-minded San Franciscans showed up as Muni buses, BART cars and even Waymos ( RIP KitKat). The unsanctioned Halloween party, known as DanceOWeen, distills some of San Francisco's best traits: a love of music, a fixation with unsexy costumes and a willingness to flaunt permitting requirements, city agencies be damned.

Or you can watch one perhaps as it's better experienced: In a dark warehouse full of horrific decor, where it feels like zombies could break down the door any minute. The Shaker Theater is a new underground pop-up cinema in a residential part of northern Oakland. For its inaugural run, it's been playing George Romero's 1968 Night of the Living Dead during October, with final runs up until Halloween evening.
