Hosted by Bar Crawl USA, the Wizard Pub Crawl will visit multiple Cincinnati bars.

The sixth-annual Wizard Pub Crawl returns this year, and while there will not be any real wizard potions, there will be a lot of alcohol.

On Oct. 8, all wizards, witches and muggles can “join hundreds of others as we celebrate wizardry, drink potions and party all night long,” says event producer Bar Crawl USA.

Guests are invited to dress up in their favorite wizardry costumes and taste exclusive themed drinks at the participating bars.

The bar crawl will include several bar partners, including On the Rhine Eatery, Copper & Flame, Revel OTR, The Hub and Drinkery, among others.

Tickets for the crawl are $20 and feature various amenities, including a wizard wand and wand box; discounted themed drink specials; Harry Potter-themed livestream trivia; a registration party before the crawl; a Harry Potter House certificate at the after party and a best dressed contest and prize.

Those who purchase tickets will be given wristbands, which will be required upon entry to all bars.

Participants must be 21+ and have a valid ID.

10 Haunted Houses and Terrifying Attractions Back for the 2022 Halloween Season in Greater Cincinnati

USS Nightmare101 Riverboat Row, Newport. Sept. 16-Nov. 5; Fridays and Saturdays in Sept. Thursday-Sunday in Oct. The USS Nightmare features some fantastic freaky characters including evil Captain Mitchell, as well as his daughter, Anna, and her demented clowns; the "lady in red;" and the ruthless galley cook. The experience delves deeper into the history of the haunted boat and explores its sadistic lore, including mysterious accidents and deaths that occurred on board, and possible crew exposure to radioactive chemicals. There are multiple ways to experience the USS Nightmare, including a lights-on event for kids and people who hate haunted houses, as well as the Captain's Extreme Tour — an "adult-rated show featuring adult language and content, more horror, group separation and more special content." Regular ticketholders can also up the action with an RIP Experience, "a more interactive and extended tour of the ship designed for death with access to additional areas and the potential for complete separation from the civilized world."

All Hallows Eve Terror Town1449 Greenbrush Cobb Rd., Williamsburg. Fridays and Saturdays through Nov. 5.The former grounds of the Old West Fest have been transformed into a Dodge City ghost town, literally. Well, almost literally. A prop fabrication and haunted attraction team has transformed the space into an immersive 19th-century Terror Town with a museum of the occult, restaurants, saloons, games, a movie theater screening classic horror films and wandering costumed characters. The 30-minute haunted trail — inhabited by the remnants of an evil cult — leaves from a desecrated church.

The Dent Schoolhouse5963 Harrison Ave., Dent. Thursday-Sunday, Sept. 16-Oct. 31.According to legend, the bodies of several missing Dent Schoolhouse students were discovered in barrels in the building’s basement — and the janitor did it. Housed in an actual public school, Dent offers real ghost tours and lights-out experiences for those looking for a true fright, plus lights-on tours for kids (and wimps).

Wilmington Haunted Hollow1261 W. Dalton Rd., Wilmington. Fridays and Saturdays Sept. 24-Oct. 29. It's a ride straight out of hell: fire-breathing semi-trucks chase down buses loaded with passengers as they wind their way through a haunted forest filled with "murder, madness and mayhem." In addition to the haunted ride, the Haunted Hollow also offers the Slaughter Hotel, a strange underground hotel with a rumored secret floor, scary elevator and electrical laboratory, as well as the Eville Asylum, full of tormented and dead patients, doctors and nurses. They have also added a maze, the Terror in the Dark, complete with a flesh-eating serial killer.

Kings Island Halloween Haunt 6300 Kings Island Dr, Mason. Select Nights Sept. 23-Oct. 29.Head to Kings Island for a frightening night to remember. Choose from a variety of haunted houses to get your haunting fix. Multiple roller coasters will remain open during Halloween Haunt. Recommended for those over 13. No re-entry is allowed after leaving the park at 6 p.m.

Brimstone Haunt 525 Brimstone Rd., Wilmington. Fridays and Saturdays Sept. 16-Oct. 29.Home to five separate attractions, guests can opt to venture through Brimstone Farm’s Haunted Hayride, the Forgotten Forest, Psychosis, Zombie Assault or Dead Shot (a paintball zombie shooting experience). The farm was a prosperous place until it was laid bare by the curse in the corn. Now it’s home to monsters, madmen and all other iterations of macabre characters whose main goal is to cause chaos on your twisted hayride.
