Nam Goody's Haunted Basement

Halloween night in Venice has a spot on the calendar that skips the boardwalk crowds and goes underground. Nam Goody is taking over the basement at Townhouse on Saturday, October 31, for a free DJ night called Haunted Basement. It is an easy pick if you are sorting through the things to do in Los Angeles on the holiday.

When: Saturday, October 31, 2026, 10 PM to about 1:45 AM Where: Townhouse Venice, 52 Windward Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90291 Price: Free, with a DICE listing for the event Music: DJ set from Nam Goody

What to expect

According to the DICE listing, this is Nam Goody's first set inside the Townhouse basement. He spent the summer spinning on the venue's patio, and Halloween is the night he brings that energy indoors. The flyer promises a red-lit, haunted-cellar mood, and the room fits it. Townhouse is Venice's oldest bar, open since 1915, and the Del Monte Speakeasy sits downstairs, a low-ceilinged space with a history of Prohibition-era bootlegging.

The listing doesn't publish a full lineup or a genre breakdown beyond DJ, so treat this as a bar night with a DJ rather than a ticketed festival production. That suits a small room well. Expect a dance floor that stays close to the booth, a drink in hand and costumes in the mix. Dressing up is clearly in the spirit of the night, though nothing in the listing makes it a requirement.

Planning your night

Entry is free, but a basement this size fills quickly on Halloween, so arriving close to the 10 PM start gives you a better shot at getting in. The flyer lists the party running to 2 AM, while the DICE page shows a 1:45 AM end, so plan on the last stretch being the tail of the night. Check the DICE page before you go in case the details shift.

Parking in Venice is tight on any weekend, and Halloween is no exception. Windward Avenue sits a short walk from the beach and the boardwalk, which makes rideshare or biking a sensible choice. If you are looking at LA events this weekend, this one pairs well with an early dinner nearby before you head down to the basement.

Why it works for Halloween

Plenty of costume parties lean on big production. This one leans on a venue with real history and a DJ who already built a following on the patio. For anyone searching for EDM in Los Angeles that feels more like a neighborhood party than a warehouse event, a free basement set in Venice is a good fit. Come in costume, bring friends, and expect a crowd that wants to dance.
