The faceless phantom-like “thing” wandered restlessly at the corner of Broadway, Ridge and Bryn Mawr avenues, spooking residents, police and horses.

The owner has renovated parts of the old theater since taking it over in 2019 and plans to replace the marquee, bring back its historic "cloud sky" and hook up its organ once he has enough revenue.

Neighbors can bring their pumpkins to the event and toss them in a giant compost container.

Enjoy a weekend of Halloween fun in Englewood this week with events made for the entire family.

Celebrate Halloween at monster mini-golf, a harvest fest or one of these community events.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday are packed with trick-or-treating, festivals and more. Here is our roundup of the festivities.

It's hard for kids to go trick-or-treating in high-rises, since COVID-19 is more transmissible indoors. But buildings are using decorations, pet parades and more to celebrate.

More than 25 people entered our raffle through email and social media, sending in amazing painted, carved and decorated jack-o'-lanterns. Check them all out here.

To kick off the Halloween fun, there will be a dog photo costume contest 5-10 p.m. Thursday. Photos will be posted to the company's Instagram account and followers will vote on the best-dressed pup.

Of course, the Uptown cemetery is also said to have a ghost or two.

Chicago's "haunters" — as they're called — are a tightknit group who return to haunted houses year after year to scare and delight locals.

The day will feature food, pumpkins, music, and prizes for kids with the best costumes.

Twenty-five local businesses will give out candy around the park, while trick-or-treaters also can get candy from neighborhood stores.

Sisters Lily and Mila Rabb, ages 13 and 9, are the masterminds behind the Disney-inspired display at North Long Avenue and West Giddings Street.

Five winners of the contest will receive a giant chocolate bar.

The festivities will include pumpkin pop-ups, a costume contest, musical performances and family-friendly events.
