Get ready for the ultimate Halloween experience as Subspace and Goth Barge team up for our annual HALLOWEEN SPOOKTACULAR! Join us Saturday, October 31st at X-Ray Arcade for Milwaukee's biggest Halloween costume contest and dance party!

The cover is $15, and every entry fuels the massive costume contest cash prize pool. The bigger the crowd, the bigger the payout! In 2022, the pool hit $1,100, skyrocketed to $2,000 in 2023, and handed out an astounding $3,000 in cash in 2024 and 2025. Let’s crank it up and make this year’s pool the biggest one yet!

Cash Prize Breakdown:
* 50% of pool to FIRST PLACE
* 30% of pool to SECOND PLACE
* 20% of pool to THIRD PLACE

There is no voting, no panel of judges, and absolutely no mercy. The Dance Commandr returns to claim the throne of bones as the sole ruler of the costume contest. He’ll be roaming the floor handing out tokens to the best of the best. His word is the final decree! Bring your absolute A-game to impress our Halloween monarch before the midnight hour wraps up.

The harsh glare of neon washes the streets, and glistens from a sea of brilliant chrome amid the squalor of our broken world. Let the pounding bass lure you in for a drink and a dance, as we celebrate all things cyberpunk at this month's edition of Crucible masquerade.

Crucible Masquerade is Madison's monthly costume party - each month features a different theme - some silly, some elegant, some wicked, and a few wild and strange. Costumes always suggested, never required!

This month we encourage you to dress as denizens of the near-future shadow world. Pleasure robots, corpo fixers slumming it for the evening, shadowrunners celebrating a big score, orc chummers out for a good time - bring out you neon and chrome... or dress as club-goers, here to enjoy the spectacle.

Music by Subspace, with a crew of pole-go performers to captivate and inspire.
