Plan on being in Chicago this coming weekend and feeling like you’re ready for a little Halloween horror fun? Then why not wander over to the historic Music Box Theater and catch the 4th Annual Music Box Massacre? Not only is host Rusty Nails offering up twelve shockers that are guaranteed to terrify, but there will also be special appearances by horror legends Clive Barker, Joseph Zito, and Lucky McKee.

Vendor tables allow horror fans to purchase some of the hottest horror-related merchandise and collectibles out there, free Monster energy drinks provide the energy to endure all twenty-four hours of fear, and a live auction for AIDS charity Vital Bridges ensures that the terror is all for a good cause. Add to that appearances by Count Midnight and Horror 101 editor Aaron “Dr. AC” Christensen, and this is sure to be a frightfully good time.

Tickets are $27 in advance, and $33 at the door. For more information visit the official Music Box Theatre website, or the Music Box Massacre MySpace page.
