Boston Ghost and Graveyard Tour
7 nights a week until 10/31 (tours start at 7pm)
A two hour tour: half in the “Trolley of the Doomed” and half walking through two of the oldest burying grounds in Boston. Learn more about Boston’s most sinister historical figures and which ones supposedly still roam the city. Scary!
Halloween on the Harbor
Friday, October 31, 7pm-10pm
A costume party crawl around South Boston Waterfront for those 21 and older. A $5 ticket gets you rides on a Boston Duck shuttle to all the Halloween parties at Blue Dragon, Jerry Remy’s, Whiskey Priest, Atlantic Beer Garden, and more top spots along the waterfront.
Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror
Friday, October 30, 8pm
Eight Berklee College of Music students are collaborating with Boston Pops conductor Keith Lockhart to reimagine the 1922 silent horror film “Nosferatu.” They have reworked the score and will be presenting it at Symphony Hall in what will truly be a one of a kind experience.
Cirque of the Dead
October 28-30
Rock out with Emperor Norton’s Stationary Marching Band as they provide the soundtrack to the Boston Circus Guild high-flying circus act. The show blends acrobatics, aerial and burlesque with humor and gore. Don’t forget about the costume contest so come wearing your Halloween’s finest.
“Scared for Good” Halloween Organ Concert

Hosted in the Old South Church, musician Harry Huff will be performing creepy classics from The Phantom of the Opera, Sweeney Todd, The Exorcist, and more. Costumes are encouraged as well as donations — this is a free event but all donations benefit the Allston-Brighton Food Pantry.
