\nOngoing until Oct. 31<\/h2>\n
Few annual events are as beloved as the Mid South Maze, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. The 10-acre corn maze, which features a Memphis skyline design, is wholesome family fun for the most part, but during Friday and Saturday\u2019s after 7PM things get a bit creepier with their popular haunted maze nights.<\/p>\n

Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital Zoo Boo<\/a>
\nOct. 15-17, 22-24, 28-31<\/h2>\nEvery year around this time, the Memphis Zoo transforms into an impressive homage to everything Halloween, with an abundance of special programming appropriate for kids of all ages. From various trick-or-treat stations to the jack-o-lantern jamboree to free rides for kids, this is truly one of the city\u2019s premier holiday events, especially for families with children.<\/p>\n
Creepville Market at the Lamplighter Lounge
\nOctober 16<\/h2>\n
While this year\u2019s Monster Market will be held completely online this year, folks who prefer to shop for their spooky wares in person should check out the Creepville Market between 1-6PM at the Lamplighter Lounge. The market will include a wide selection of goods from local makers, including art, clothing, and more. You can check out a complete list of vendors on their Instagram at @creepvillemarket<\/a><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Day-of-the-Dead-800x419.jpg\")

Shoktoberfest at Black Lodge<\/a>
\nOctober 24<\/h2>\nIf one Memphis institution truly understands the unique allure of Halloween, the it would have to be Black Lodge, the unique Crosstown business that combines an old school video rental store with a live venue space. Black Lodge will be hosting events throughout the month, but we\u2019re especially excited about Shoktoberfest, their \u201cqueer music and variety show\u201d that is being put together in conjunction with Barbie Wyre. The event will feature a costume contest, live music, drag performances, film screenings, and much more.<\/p>\n
Fright Night at the Brewery at Memphis Made<\/a>
\nOctober 28<\/h2>\nBoos meet brews at this year\u2019s Fright Night at Memphis Made Brewing Co., a Halloween-themed fundraiser for United Housing Inc.

Blast Habit Halloween at Bar DKDC<\/a>
\nOctober 29<\/h2>\nOn the Friday before Halloween, Blast Habit Records will be taking over Bar DKDC for an evening of scary good music and burlesque. The power trio So Gung Ho will be performing alongside Alicja Trout and dancer Velvetina Taylor for a rocking night that promises to roll deep into the dark night. Costumes are, of course, highly encouraged.<\/p>\n
Heady Halloween at 831 S. Cooper<\/a>
\nOctober 30<\/h2>\nWe\u2019ve already discussed Black Lodge\u2019s many events this month, but something is also brewing at their newly renovated former home on Cooper St. Heady Halloween promises to be one of the grooviest events in town on Halloween weekend with a costume contest and late night jams from Shorty & the Grooves & Grape.<\/p>\n
Time Warp Drive-In
\nOctober 30<\/h2>\n
Time Warp, the monthly curated series of classic, strange, and cult films at the Summer Ave. Drive In, is back this month with \u201cAmerican Nightmares: The Teen Horror Cinema of Wes Craven.\u201d The Halloween-themed movie marathon will include screenings of \u201cA Nightmare on Elm Street,\u201d \u201cScream,\u201d \u201cThe People Under the Stairs,\u201d and \u201cThe Hills Have Eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n
After Hours Tour at Elmwood Cemetery<\/a>
\nOctober 31<\/h2>\nElmwood is one of the state\u2019s most storied and historically significant cemeteries, providing the final resting place for \u201cmayors, governors, madams, blues singers, suffragists, martyrs, generals, civil rights leaders, holy men and women, outlaws and millionaires.\u201d On Halloween night, they will be opening their gates to the public for an after hours tour that will walk you through the history of the grounds and highlight some of the most notable figures buried there. Scares AND a little history lesson? Sounds like a win-win to us.<\/p>\n
