Halloween week in Miami runs all the way through Friday and the city does it well. R House Wynwood has the Villains Party, Hoy Como Ayer is doing a full costume night, Lincoln Road throws its annual block party, and Kiki on the River has a pumpkin carving situation that turns into something else entirely. Pick your room and commit to the costume.
