It’s safe to say that the last few years struck a tone of fear in our lives. Horror movies, haunted houses, and fake-blood-soaked events are thus a refreshing dose of staged, not-existential fear that’s all the more welcome this year.
The witching hour is close at hand, soon the ghosts will come out to play, cackling witches will soar into the skies and ghoulish creatures will creep out from their lairs. Spooky season is upon us and we’ve already started planning for the scariest nights of them all. Here’s what you shouldn’t miss this year!
Enjoy an after-hours experience at the Museum of Illusions
The Museum of Illusions and its many mind-boggling installations have been given an extensive makeover for the Halloween season offering guests an even more disconcerting experience than before. Well-known exhibits including Head on a Platter, Vortex Tunnel, Infinity, and Anti-Gravity Room have been converted with Halloween-themed décor making the Museum of Illusions one of Chicago’s most immersive and mysterious go-to destinations for the Halloween season.
The museum is also now throwing exclusive after-hours parties every Thursday. Tricks, Treats, and Beats at the Museum of Illusions will let guests roam the museum and its eerily enhanced experience while enjoying beats by the appropriately named DJ Mayhem and drinks by Left Coast.
