 It’s finally Halloween time! The days leading up to the 31st are full of fun stuff. You can’t do it all, but you can at least try.

The perfect show for the season plays on Wednesday; GWAR will put on a show like no other, dressing up like monsters and spewing fluids on the surging crowd while playing songs from one of the fourteen albums. GWAR is taking over the House of Blues with DevilDriver, Cancer Bats and more. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are $28.

If you missed them last week, Rev.

Hull performs at the Big Top, and local favorites Mountain of Wizard plays with Suplecs at Hi Ho Lounge, or if you prefer to dance, you can go to a bounce party with Katey Red, Big Freedia and more at Siberia at 10 p.m.

First up on Friday, go see Disciples of Thrash at House of Shock at 8:30 if you haven’t been there yet.
