Best 2014 Halloween Parties For Adults In Chicago
Halloween might be a favorite among children, but it's also a favorite among adults as well. The ability to dress in costume and unleash your inner superhero or sexy maid is just one of the many reasons why Halloween is often a highly anticipated holiday. Last year's "Best 2013 Halloween Parties In Chicago" offered up a great list of events geared towards adults, but some new events have made the 2014 list complete. For those looking to sport their costume with pride this Halloween, here are a number of parties that will prove that the holiday isn't just for kids.

Located just outside the city in the Oak Lawn suburb, this event is a bit unique from the same old costume Halloween party. This masquerade ball setting lets adults bring back a tradition that exuded sophistication and style. To put a Halloween twist on the event, a murder of one of the costume characters will turn the party into a mystery that guests will need to solve. Tickets are $20, with only 50 spaces available for purchase.

General admission tickets to this event are $10 per person, which does not include any food or drinks purchased at the venue. Guests are encouraged to come in full costume, with an emphasis on who will wear the sexiest costume. Drink specials will be available, as well as Halloween decor throughout. For those wanting to participate in the November Toys 4 Tots Drive, new and unwrapped toys can be brought to the Halloween Party to kick off this worthy charity.
