Normally I use this space to preview the weekend's new releases in theaters. This installment, though, takes place on Halloween, and there are special things happening to commemorate the fun, scary holiday, like a weekend-long bash at Parts and Labor celebrating the history of horror filmmaking.
The Logan Square bar and grill (2700 N. Milwaukee) is showing the slasher, body horror, and supernatural flicks on two giant HD projectors. In addition to the gigantic list of films (19 are listed with 22 promised, so be on the lookout for surprises), the bar and grill offers a special of burgers with fries and a beer or shot all for $10. I can attest their food is good, and I look forward to eating more of it when I attend at least one of the evenings. You can expect a report next week, Halfstackers, but for now, here is the lineup of old and new scary movies alike.
