Our annual Halloween party is just around the corner! 🎃 🕷️
This year we are hosting at @revbrewchicago Taproom on Kedzie. We needed extra space for a creepy crawly good time. Don’t forget our theme this year is Critters, defined by our staff as: native to earth, not supernatural, and either animal or insect.
Costumes heavily encouraged and our costume contest is a go! The space IS family-friendly so all ages can attend.
@theinsectasylum will also be bringing a few live critters to see up close from 6-7. You won’t want to miss it!

The Shape is shuffling back into our lives after a 3-year absence and he couldn’t be more welcome. To celebrate his crispy return, we’re partnering with Paulie Gee’s and upcoming horror-themed coffee shop The Brewed to throw a party that even Dr. Loomis would enjoy! For the low low price of $30, you’ll get all the pizza you can eat (veggie/vegan/gluten free options available) plus a beer and a shot (or non-alcoholic option). We’ll also be raffling off a copy of the Halloween (2018) soundtrack autographed by the maestro of macabre himself, John Carpenter! Raffle tickets will be $1 and 100% of the money raised will be donated to the Chicago Torture Justice Center.
In addition to the pizza party, you can secure for yourself a copy of the new soundtrack on vinyl or cassette AND/OR join in for a group screening of the movie at the Logan Theatre immediately following the party at Paulie Gee’s.
