Scores strippers help pass out candy at Halloween carnival.
This Halloween, hundreds of Brooklyn kids are being treated to a costume party with ghostly goodies - and eye candy from some strippers.
A half-dozen dancers from the famed gentlemen's club Scores have been invited to help out with the trick-or-treating at the Puppetry Art Theatre's second annual Haunted Halloween Carnival Benefit in Park Slope.
And while 19-year-old Natalie Fretwell sometimes wears a revealing angel or police officer getup when she performs at the famed club, she'll be toning it down considerably Saturday when she struts her stuff at Middle School 51.
"I'm not going to be inappropriate or exposed," Fretwell said. "I was thinking a cat or a Devil - something appropriate."
Another dancer, who performs under the name Sophia, added, "We just want to give back to the community."
"I hope to have kids one day," the 23-year-old performer said. "So I'll be manning the booths, handing out candy, basically doing anything they want us to do."
Timothy Young, whose organization runs arts programs for inner-city kids, said he's happy to have the extra hands handing out pizza and helping out with the puppetmaking and raffles.
"I don't care what they do for a living," he said. "We welcome anyone to support us, because it's not about them, it's not about the company, so much as it's about the kid that needs our help."
Still, the idea of strippers handing out candy to kids was frightening to Paul Keppo, whose daughter Kirsti is 3.
"I definitely don't think it's appropriate," said Keppo, 47, of Park Slope. "It's not age appropriate."
Other parents took the news in stride - and even welcomed the voluptuous volunteers.
"As long as they keep their clothes on I don't see the problem," said Aileen Reyes, 36, of Park Slope, mother of Hunter, 10, and Taylor, 6. "As long as they dress as witches - not sexy witches - my 10-year-old can go."
Elda Auerbach, who does promotions for Scores, said they were disappointed last Christmas when dozens of charities said thanks but no thanks when they tried to raise money for needy women and children. She said Scores gives to good causes like the Police Widows and Orphans 911 Fund.
"We're very glad to have the chance to help out," she said. "Lots of people who work here have kids and they want to help out kids who are less fortunate."
