# Get Lit: Blood Suckers

Sink your teeth into a night of spooky fun at Get Lit: Blood Suckers. This vampire-themed event will celebrate the fanged and fearless from your favorite works of American writing.

  • Test your knowledge of vampires in film, tv, books, and more in our Bloody Bloody Trivia Challenge.
  • Put on your best vampire-inspired fit for the Vampire Costume Contest.
  • Visit our friends from the Horror & SciFi Prop Preservation Association (HSPPA), a traveling museum of screen-used and production-made props, costumes, and film relics.
  • Flex your artistic side with vampire inspired crafts.
  • Get your Halloween reads from our friend from Bucket O’ Blood Books and Records, a Chicago store highlighting sci-fi, fantasy, & horror, plus indie rock, punk & metal records.
  • Enjoy beer, wine, and the night’s specialty cocktail, The Blood Bag, a blood red drink served in a unique container. Non-alcoholic options available as well.

Whether you’re a Dracula devotee, a Buffy buff, or a Twilgiht fanatic, this is sure to be a BLOODY good time.
This is 21+ event. Attendees must show a valid photo ID at the door to enter.
