WORCESTER - Local chanteuse Niki Luparelli knows how to throw a Halloween party. With her five-night Haunted Speakeasy extravaganza at Bull Mansion, the singer-comedian has mixed a 1920s "mobsters and molls" aesthetic with a ghoulish holiday spirit, accented by music and a range of burlesque and variety acts. What's not to love? The foxtrot and Lindy hop are encouraged, and Prohibition-era cocktails will be available at the bar.

There are still two more nights of festivities, but be warned: The dress code is 1920s & '30s, vintage, opulent, retro, ghastly Gatsby, horrific or, if in doubt, all black. The party continues at 8:30 p.m. Oct. 26 and 27 at Bull Mansion, 55 Pearl St. Tickets are $35, $55 for a VIP package, with discounts at the door for students and military personnel, with ID.
