Halloween might be a mid-week affair this year, but that shouldn’t stop you from seeking out all the spookiness getting into the holiday spirit has to offer. Ticketmaster’s got you covered on what haunts to hit this year nationwide on Halloween night, especially if you’re still on the lookout for something to do last minute.
John Carpenter (Los Angeles, CA)

Boston’s Royale plays host to favorites from RuPaul’s Drag Race like Trixie Mattel, and a chance to win $1,000 in a costume contest featuring a celebrity panel of judges.

A Halloween Celebration of Robyn (San Francisco, CA)
