Drinking and seeing spirits
The Second Haunted Archer Avenue Ghost Tour and Pub Crawl is from 8 p.m. to midnight Saturday, Oct. 23.
Patrons of the pub crawl, hosted by Horrorbles and the Reaper Madness, are encouraged to bring the beverage of their choice (except for kegs or glass bottles), as well as cameras, EMF detectors, personal recorders and any and all portable ghost-hunting equipment.
Tickets are available at www.horrorbles.com on the "Events" page or call (708) 484-7370. Seating is limited.
The undead rises — and walks around Berwyn
Another haunting walk and pub crawl occurs from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 30.
The Berwyn Development Corporation partners with Roosevelt Road Business Association and Horrorbles to bring the Inaugural Roosevelt Road Zombie Walk and Pub Crawl.
The event will feature zombie makeup, a pub crawl, food and an afterparty designed to rival even your fondest memories of "Thriller."
The Zombie Walk is founded on the participation of Halloween-lover willing to take their zombie motif to the limit. To help, Horrorbles will sponsor makeup and costume staging from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Homescape Custom Builders and Designers, Inc., at 6823 W. Roosevelt Road and Citizens Community Bank, 7025 W. Roosevelt Road, both in Berwyn.
Once properly attired, zombies will be led on a pub crawl that will overtake 12th Street Rag, Friendly Tap and FitzGerald's, which is catering the afterparty with films and other fun. In the true spirit of the undead, zombies will proceed between venues in silence. Once the crawl is over, zombies can resume their search for brains at their favorite Berwyn haunts.
The Zombie Walk and Pub Crawl is $10, which includes admission, makeup and food. All proceeds from the event will be donated to Berwyn's 16th Street Theater.
For more information on the Zombie Walk, call (708) 788-8100.
