It’s an exciting day to be a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan. Not only was it announced that a new line of Buffy Funko Pops is coming for the first time since 2017, but there’s also a Buffy pop-up experience heading to Chicago. Bucket Listers, the media brand behind some of the biggest pop-up restaurants and events, is celebrating Halloween this year with an immersive activation that will be a “combination of equal parts cocktail bar, restaurant, training ground, and haunted house, molded into a one of a kind, over-the-top evening.”

Every ticket to the Buffy experience includes a welcome blood bag cocktail, 90-minute reservations that “will allow you enough time to become the next slayer,” stake-throwing (which is based on availability), and food from Buffy Summers’ former place of employment, the Doublemeat Palace. You can read Bucket Listers’ official description of the event below:
“In every generation, there is a chosen one. Do you have what it takes to become the next slayer? Join the Scooby Gang and step into the world of Buffy. The immersive activation will be a combination of equal parts cocktail bar, restaurant, training ground and haunted house decor, molded into a one of a kind, over-the-top evening. A true celebration of all things Buffy.
Begin your journey with a trip through a full recreation of the hallowed halls and storied library of Sunnydale High, before sneaking their way through the dark depths of the treacherous Hellmouth. Every slayer in training will get the chance to prove their worthy skills via wooden stake-throwing lanes, and the opportunity to fight off a gang of vampires scattered throughout the rooftop Restfield Cemetery.”
