By now, you've hopefully had enough time to dry out from all the rain over the weekend. Did you catch the rainbow that was spotted in the Castro?

With Halloween right around the corner, we've got a few creepy and spooky events that'll be sure to get you ready. Here are the highlights of what's going on around the neighborhood.

Tonight is the final presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. The Equality Federation is hosting a watch party at The Cafe for what is sure to be an interesting evening.

Speaking of Clinton, Cher will be in town to raise funds for her this Sunday at Oasis. You can get ready for the event on Thursday night with Mary-Go-Round's Cher Tribute Show at Lookout. If you weren't able to get a ticket to the Sunday show, this is a fun alternative.

On Friday, strip down to your undies, throw on some glow-in-the-dark paint and dance the night away at Q Bar to celebrate the SF Gay Mafia's second anniversary. The underwear party will feature jello shots and a photo booth.

Saturday brings two opportunities to get into the Halloween spirit: a double feature of The Exorcist and Poltergeist, followed by a chance to do the Time Warp at Midnight Sun's annual Live Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Finally, on Sunday, join State Senate candidate Jane Kim at Harvey Milk Civil Rights Academy for a Castro Community Forum. Kim will discuss renter's protections, affordable housing, free community college and housing for the homeless, with an emphasis on LGBTQ youth.
