CONJURE UP SOME OF THAT SPOOKY HALLOWEEN SPIRIT.

The moon is rising, the ghouls are howling and you're still pulling your Halloween party together?

Here's a sampling of some scary stuff at local haunts to get you in the spirit of the night:

At Best Buy stores, you can find videos of classic Halloween movies, including Disney's ``Hocus Pocus,'' the ``Peanuts'' classic ``It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown'' and real oldies like ``The Mummy'' and ``Dracula,'' for $7.99 each.

To line your walkway with luminarias, the south-of-the-border decoration that looks like a paper sack with a candle inside, check out Michaels arts and crafts stores in Reseda and Simi Valley. They've got reusable ceramic luminarias with happy jack-o'-lantern faces, priced at $1.99 each.

Afraid of the dark and don't want to be alone with all those ghosts on the loose? Snuggle up with Inflatable Frankie, a 73-inch plastic Frankenstein monster, priced at $19.98 in the Lillian Vernon catalog, [phone].

Creepy crawlers and things that go bump in the dark should help you feel festive. You can get a head start with the Boo at the Zoo adventure Saturday and Sunday at the Los Angeles Zoo in Griffith Park.

For those who hate pulling the guts out of a pumpkin, there are Styrofoam, battery-operated (safer than candles) Pumpkin Imposters with scary faces. You can find them at a variety of drug and department stores, including Sav-on Drugs, priced at $7.99 each.

To make your house look like there's a party goin' on, decorate with strings of novelty lights featuring ghosts, jack-o'-lanterns and Frankenstein monsters, priced at $3.99 at Target stores. You'll also find large lighted yard decorations such as a gargoyle and totem pole of spooks for $19.99, with a lighted Skull and Crypt Keeper candelabra priced at $1.49 to $19.99, depending on the size. You'll find other party favors, like a cardboard coffin for $19.99 and a life-size raven for $15.99, as well as scary music (rattling chains and evil laughter) cassettes for $2.99 at the Magic World costume store in Chatsworth.

For noncostumy Halloween styles, try black bat earrings, ghostly socks or a Halloween vest with witches on broomsticks at department stores, including Kmart, where items range from $1.39 to $8.99. For the office party, there are men's ties with fright-night themes, priced at $16.99 at Mervyn's stores, as well as jack-o'-lantern-themed boxer shorts at $9.99 each. At Robinsons-May stores you'll find poltergeist knit pants for $19.99 with trick-or-treat-themed sweater vests for $34.99.

To haul all that Halloween loot, you can use the tried-and-true paper sack, but the glow-in-the-dark monster face pillowcases for $7.50 are a scream. They're featured in After the Stork's late fall catalog, with a choice of faces. To order, call [phone].

Holding ``open house'' for the spirit world? You'll need new guest towels in black with ghoulish designs, priced at $2.99 at Mervyn's. And don't forget to throw out the welcome mat that emits scary sounds when you step on it, available in several designs and prices at Magic World costume shop in Chatsworth.

For a Halloween dinner party, dine by spooky candlelight. At Macy's you can find a pair of Fitz & Floyd ghost candle holders for $9.99 or a clever witch candelabrum for $38.40 for white tapers (white scares off the evil spirits).

If it's a less formal affair, light the table with novelty candles, such as a green monster hand that drips red wax, priced at $2.99 at Longs drugstores.

Take the kids to Universal CityWalk from noon to 6 p.m. Sunday for a photographic memento of that special night. It's Casper Spooky Sunday, with Casper look-alikes in abundance. For more information, call [phone].
