Halloween is our favorite holiday in the whole wide world -- check out the photos from Saturday night's Shanghaiist Halloween Party at Shanghai Studio and maybe you'll get an idea why. Conservative estimates say 500 to 600 people most definitely were in violation of some kind of fire code packed the bomb shelter (which Shanghaiist staff and the amazingly great people from MANifesto and Shanghai Studio turned into a dungeon for a day).

Thanks to everyone who showed up and went all out with some outrageously creative costumes -- especially you guys who came dressed up as Shanghai police officers ... very, um, realistic! We are definitely planning on doing this again next year, and for that party we'll open up a second bar that is farther away from the main entrance (it got a little crowded there for awhile).

In addition to the slideshow above, you can view the party photos on Flickr. Shanghai Photograffiti has some really good photos from the party, as well.

We'd love to see your party pics, too! Upload them to Flickr and tag them "shanghaiist" or simply email them to photos at shanghaiist.com.

Thanks again to everyone who made the party a success. We hope you had as much fun as we did!
