Halsted was haunted and fabulous! Raven from Drag Race and Batty Davis hosted a fierce costume showdown with cash prizes galore. A little rain couldn't stop the spooky sparkle—Chicago's ghouls came to slay.
Ghouls gone wild on Halsted! The Haunted Halsted Halloween Parade turned the street into a runway of creatures, queens, and chaos. Grand Marshal Raven (yes, that Raven from RuPaul's Drag Race) and hostess Batty Davis served spooky glam as the crowd battled for cash in the Character, Creative, Scary, Youth, and Group categories. A few sprinkles couldn't rain on this fierce fright night—just more shimmer for the spirits!
