Over four nihilistic nights, the Argyle’s two floors, six bars and cobblestone courtyard will be haunted with a Halloween spookfest.
It kicks off on Wednesday, October 28, where an open-air cinema will see slasher-spoof Scary Movie playing in the courtyard. This free screening comes with two-for-one pizzas for $30 and Salted Caramel Popcorn Espresso Martinis to set the cinematic vibe. On Thursday, an evening of zombified throwbacks and performances inspired by Michael Jackson’s ’80s mega hit Thriller will take over. The cheap thrills continue on Friday and Saturday night, when the venue transforms into what it calls the Argyle Asylum.
The bar team will be brewing up devilish drinks over all four days. Get caught in the web with a Black Widow Daquiri ($15), suck on the El Diablo Margarita ($17.50) or Zombie Got Ya Brainz shot ($11), or go all in with the Witches Brew Cauldron Punchbowl ($35).
You can grab your ghoul-friends, plan your costumes (encouraged), and book in for a physically distanced two-hour seated session starting between 3pm and 10pm here. Entry is free, and the horror-ific tropes are priceless.
