Step into the world of Sunnydale with Bucket Listers’ newest and most ambitious fan experience yet—the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Experience is coming to Chicago just in time for Halloween! From the creators of hit fan experiences like The Golden Girls Kitchen and The Malibu Barbie Cafe, this event is set to immerse die-hard fans and Halloween lovers alike into the iconic Emmy Award-winning universe.

Bucket Listers’ President of Experiences, Derek Berry, shares, “We pride ourselves on creating concepts that can’t be found anywhere else. Fans have been asking us to do our take on Buffy for years, and Halloween felt like the perfect time. We’re thrilled to bring Sunnydale to the Midwest and to give fans a celebration worthy of the Slayer.”

Join the Scooby Gang

Prepare for a night of thrills as you step into a fully immersive environment that’s equal parts cocktail bar, restaurant, haunted house, and slayer training ground. Begin your journey in the halls of Sunnydale High and make your way to the treacherous Hellmouth. Stake your claim on the rooftop Restfield Cemetery, where you’ll face off against vampires in wooden stake-throwing lanes, and don’t miss the chance to belt out tunes from the unforgettable “Once More, With Feeling” episode.

Slayer’s Feast and Themed Drinks

After honing your slayer skills, recharge with a host of themed cocktails and “bites.” Each ticket includes a drink, with a menu inspired by Buffy’s world—enjoy burgers from the Double Meat Palace and blood-bag cocktails at “The Bronze.” For the ultimate fan experience, themed nights like Vampires vs. Slayers and The Grave Rave promise to be unforgettable.
