FrightTown
For 13 years the ghoul-lovers of FrightTown have been putting on the most technologically advanced, pants-shitting haunted house in the areaâall in the creepy basement of Memorial Coliseum. And for 2017, FrightTown returns with three horrific walk-throughs, including the classic monster mash Grimthorne Manor, the witty scares of Baron Von Gooloâs Museum of Horrors, and new this year, Sector 13, in which hangry aliens have a lustful thirst for human (your) blood. PLUS! Smaller exhibits include the pitch-black maze âFear the Dark,â the Ghost Gallery (exactly what you expect), and âBuried Aliveâ (again, exactly what you expect). Pro tip: Bring extra underpants.

Portland Thorns vs. Orlando Pride
A year after crashing out of the playoffs in heartbreaking fashion, the Thorns have earned their shot at redemption. Todayâs semifinal against the Orlando Pride decides who gets to play in the final next week in Orlando, and with the Thornsâ international stars Amandine Henry and Nadia Nadim set to depart in the offseason, you can bet this tight-knit bunch will do everything in their power to send them off as NWSL Champions.

Rainer Maria, Olivia Neutron-John
When Iâm teasing myself about groups I saw a lot in the â90s, I place Rainer Maria with all the bands I loved that sounded like a warning alarm. Formed in Madison, Wisconsin, and now based in Brooklyn, the trio carved out their niche in the emerging indie rock scene with a unique mix of punkish shouting and eerie harmonizing performed by the groupâs vocalists Caithlin De Marrais (bass) and Kaia Fischer (guitar, synth). Rainer Maria reunited in 2014 after an eight-year hiatus, and in August released their first record in 11 years: the nostalgic but solid S/T. Itâs sonically hugeâthey can still blend discordant harmonies in surprising ways thatâll cause your hair to stand on end. SUZETTE SMITH

Strange Babes, SĂĄvila
Strange Babes parties are visceral extensions of their popular radio show on XRAY.fm, and the DJs' styles (KM Fizzy, Jen O, and Magic Beans) are distinct yet complementary. This type of energetic eclecticism is all too rare and desperately needed in a town brimming with monotonous dance nights, so prioritize any opportunity to experience a Strange Babes mastermix in person.

The Reagan Show
There is no narrator in this documentary, no talking heads, no experts, no direct analysis. The entire thing consists of archival footage from network news and the machinery that manufactured the images of Americaâs 40th president. Ronald Reagan and his team changed the whole game of American politics by transforming the White House into a movie studio. These men understood that he wasnât a president, but playing one in Hollywood. Without this understanding (make everything a movie), the new conservatives (or neoliberals) would not have finally and effectively defeated that five-decade truce between workers and capitalism called the New Deal. The Reagan revolution was indeed televised. The documentary also makes it clear that Donald Trump is a rank amateur and completely lacks Reaganâs art and discipline. CHARLES MUDEDE

Tom Papa
Brian Regan isn't the only comic out there who can wreck your sides with a completely clean set. Tom Papa earned his veteran stripes on the road with a comedy sensibility that doesn't dabble in the bluer shades of the laugh spectrum, but still elicits genuine guffaws from the crowds who see him.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: In Concert
Despite its flaws, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets officially marked the Harry Potter seriesâ transition from charming childrenâs story to one of the best literary melodramas of all timeâfrom the thrilling unfolding of Voldemortâs origin story, to the first intimations of romance between its lead characters. Clocking in at two-and-a-half hours, the Chamber of Secrets movie is also one of the most painstaking novel-to-film adaptations ever released, for better or worse. Its epic scope is complimented by master composer John Williamsâ sweeping, eerie score. Williamsâ genius at leitmotif also makes up for author J.K. Rowlingâs spotty characterization: Comic relief characters like Dobby the House Elf and Moaning Myrtle are given new life through their somber themes, and âMeeting Tom Riddleââwhich sounds like âThe Imperial Marchâ in a hall of mirrorsâemphasizes Voldemortâs preternatural evil in a way no words could. The Harry Potter films improved exponentially after Chamber of Secrets, but the music never got any better than this. MORGAN TROPER
