Not everyone is into Haunted Houses, spooky Pumpkin Patches and Corn Mazes, or they are simply not enough to satisfy the most adventurous Halloween lover! So I put together a list of other great Milwaukee Halloween events and activities that you can part take in this October!
+ The Bay View Lounge & Alchemist Theatre is hosting: FAUST: An evening at the Mephisto Theatre. This production takes the basic outline of the classic tale of "Faust" and applies all of the seduction, deception, love and death to a 1920's setting. In an exciting theatrical style completely new to the Milwaukee area, this production takes place simultaneously throughout the entire Alchemist Theatre building. The audience is free to wander, roam and explore hidden speakeasy bars, backstage dressing rooms and the throne room of Mephostopheles - all the while witnessing various puzzle pieces of the story that unfold throughout the evening. Showtime starts at 8pm, but they strongly recommend coming 10-15 min early. Tickets: $17 online. $19 at the door.

+ The Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum is hosting: Midnight in the Garden on
Saturday, October 29 at 8:00 p.m. and will go until Midnight. This Halloween Masquerade Party will include live music, cash bar, complimentary hors d’oeuvres and prizes for best costumes. You can make your Reservations at 414/271-3656. Admission is $25 and $20 extra for a Psychic Reading.

+ For something a little more family friendly or if your looking for a fun group outing, check out "Illusions In The Night" with illusionist David Seebach! It’s a Halloween Magic Extravaganza that combines spectacular illusions chosen for their seasonal appeal with mysterious stage settings and scenery, eerie music, colorful costuming, lots of audience participation and comedy plus a few good shocks and scares. It is a family-friendly show, but not exclusively a kiddies’ attraction. Tickets are $20.00 and it opens October 21st-29th

+ If your feeling extra adventurous and in the hopes of catching the sight of a real ghost, go on a Milwaukee Ghost Tour! I myself went on one last year as part of my bachelorette party, and I can honestly say that I had a fantastic time and learned a lot about Milwaukee's dark history! The tour starts at 7pm and is $10.

+ You may have read recently my post about Shakers Cigar Bar, also known as Milwaukee's Haunted Bar.. well, the Dracula Masquerade Ball was last night, but that should not stop you from stopping in and having a drink with the spirits who lurk in the shadows of this great Victorian bar! Also, they do offer a nights stay in the haunted penthouse suite above the bar [$350.00 a couple] as well as ghost tours every Friday and Saturday night 7-8:30pm!
