Buffy the Vampire Slayer Experience Coming To Chicago

As a gamer with a heart full of nostalgia, let me tell you that this news has sent shivers of excitement down my spine! Growing up watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer was like a rite of passage for any 90’s kid. To now have the chance to step into the world of Sunnydale and become a slayer myself, well, it’s every bit as thrilling as fighting off a vampire horde in a virtual reality game.


Today’s a thrilling day for Buffy the Vampire Slayer enthusiasts! Not only have we learned that a fresh line of Funko Pops featuring Buffy characters is set to launch, marking the first such release since 2017, but there’s also an upcoming Buffy pop-up event in Chicago. Bucket Listers, known for creating some of the most popular pop-up restaurants and events, is planning a spooktacular Halloween celebration this year. They’re designing an immersive experience that will blend elements of a cocktail bar, restaurant, training ground, and haunted house, resulting in a unique, over-the-top evening you won’t want to miss!

Each Buffy adventure ticket comes with a welcome “blood bag” cocktail, 90-minute time slots to prepare you for your role as a slayer (subject to availability), practice stake throwing, and dine at Buffy Summers’ old workplace, the Doublemeat Palace. Here’s the official description of the event from Bucket Listers:

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but share this exhilarating opportunity: In every era, there emerges a special one, destined to be the next slayer. Are you ready to seize the chance and embrace your role? Dive into the captivating world of Buffy by joining the Scooby Crew, and experience an extraordinary blend of cocktail lounge, eatery, combat training zone, and haunted house ambiance, all seamlessly integrated into a remarkable, over-the-top night out. This is more than just a celebration – it’s a tribute to everything that makes Buffy extraordinary!

Commence your adventure by exploring an accurate replica of Sunnydale High’s historic corridors and grand library. Then, stealthily traverse the ominous underbelly of the perilous Hellmouth. Along the way, each trainee slayer will have a chance to demonstrate their prowess with wooden stake-throwing ranges, as well as engage in battles against vampire mobs hidden across Restfield Cemetery’s rooftops.
