In a world where Halloween theme parties lurk behind every corner, there’s one bar at the end of the street where your dreams can blend into terrifying reality. It’s A Nightmare on Allen Street XXIV at Nietzsche’s! This year’s ghoulish get-together will start at 9pm Saturday (Oct 28) featuring performances by the Outlyers and the Steam Donkeys, who will perform as a six piece with their long-lost imp of Satan, Doug Moody, on the devil’s own fiddle. Heightening the madness will be the annual costume contest, where monsters, spooks and blood-sucking freaks (or just weirdos disguised as Dick Cheney in hunting garb) will vie for valuable prizes at the stroke of midnight. Admission is $5, or $3 with original costume.
