Duluth Halloween 2009 Party Guide
Howie Mandell (from St. Elsewhere), as seen at RT Quinlan’s on Halloween of 2008
Once again, Superior Street is coming out in full-force this Halloween night, and will undoubtedly be lined with zombies, sluts, slutty zombies, and probably even a Balloon Boy or two. Every bar in town has a “Halloween bash” and costume contest, of course. But here are a few events I’m aware of that sound like they’ll rise considerably above the average Halloween party, which is something when you consider that even the average Halloween party is pretty choice.
Feel free to leave any events I’ve missed in the comments, and I’ll add them to the list. They don’t have to be in Downtown Duluth or even in Duluth at all for that matter.
Most of all, have fun, be safe, and let’s all hope the lights don’t go out again this year.

Hotel Coral Essex, Total Freedom Rock, Coal Car Caboose, Jamie Ness & Brad Nelson ($15 includes complimentary beverages and food to soak it up) Is the rumor I heard…
Carmody
– Tangier 57

9 PM Sat. Oct 31
I think it’s free. I’ll check.
the main club. you know what it is…..
Sorry C-Freak, I don’t know what’s happening at the Main on Halloween. Details?
Their website is not helpful.
Ack! Sorry, Brian!
Tim Kaiser’s Haxan score is going to be AMAZING but please note it will be $10, not the regular $7.50 movie price. Consider it $5 for the movie and $5 for the Tim Kaiser concert and that’s a heck of a deal.
Zinema’s also opening the super spooky Paranormal Activity this weekend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_iU3SNT2fM&feature=player_embedded
I was gonna post this anyway, but I’m much obliged if you’d do it, Barrett!

Everyone Welcome. Games, Contests, and a half dozen 50 gallon drums full of candy & trinkets to give out for the kids.

*Bonus* free early dinner suggestion – Speedy Wienie will once again do a season close-out at the Fall Fest. So it’s all going, including our remaining gigantic all beef monster wienies, some brats and lots of kiddie sized “mystery meat” wienies donated by the church. It’s all free. If Mrs. Wienie approves I think I’m also gonna get a stack of the coveted b&w “Love Wins” stickers for the first 50 people who trick or treat at our stand, ask for them.
barrett – more weirdness than usual. we ‘mos ratchet it up for halloween. it’s our x-mas.
thanks Barrett..for all you do, this one’s for you!
Yeah, but where’s the afterbar? I’m turning 36 and I have a babysitter. Halloween don’t fall on a Saturday every year, ya know…
Lucé is sold out.
All bars open late thanks to day light savings at 2am?
Only in Superior.
Dirty Ol’ Soul at the Lakeview Castle – 8:30
Haunted Duluth https://www.hauntedduluth.com/ , which I believe is Bad Cat’s site, also has a listing of events.
Has anyone been to the Haunted Cemetery https://www.myspace.com/thehauntedcemetery ?
If I remember correctly, I attended a Halloween party about five years ago at an old school that was converted to apartments/condos. I believe the Alrights played and it was an epic adventure. Does this party still exist? If anyone knows where it might be I would love to know.
The party Bikeshox13 refers to was at Emerson Apartments. To my knowledge they stopped having Halloween parties there in 2009.
They have stopped.
