Next year the spooks and scares return for the 24th year. The Freddies, Jasons, ghosts, vampires, undead zombies, netherworldly beings, monsters and who-knows-what take to the street. Chicago’s Haunted Halsted Halloween Parade, October 31, is the holiday’s biggest spooktacular spectacle. The Parade & Costume Contest offer thousands in cash prizes in multiple categories. The Lakeview Halloween Pup Crawl trick or treat for dogs and their people is back for the 7th year. Activities and events for all ages.
