If you’re in the mood for “buxotica” a bit different from what will be on view at the West Hollywood Carnaval, this is for you. Lucha VaVoom is having its first ever Halloween party. No faux slut wanna-be’s here, plus Luchadores are GO! Four big matches! Costumes encouraged; sex, violence, comedy, spooks, booze and dancing are guaranteed. It’s a three day party, but Halloween is the kicker.

Mayan Theater, 1038 S. Hill St., Downtown Los Angeles; 21 and older.
Advance tickets $60-$30, available at Wacko, 4633 Hollywood Blvd. Los Feliz; and Brat, 1938 14th St., Santa Monica. At the door, $60-$40 if available. Doors open 7:00 PM; show at 8:00 PM.
