These are ticketed, seated productions, murder mysteries, monster-themed tasting menus, cabaret dinners, so treat them like theater: book weeks ahead for October Saturdays, note the prix-fixe price usually excludes drinks and tip, and flag dietary needs at booking, not at the table. Confirm the costume expectation, since some dinners are full-dress affairs while others just want festive attire.
Read the listing: "costumes encouraged" means half the room dresses up and nobody cares, while "costume required" events can refuse the door or charge extra without one, especially themed balls. Peak Saturday, you'll feel more out of place without a costume than in one. The minimum viable move: one strong accessory, hat, cape, face paint, that reads as participation.
Often the best value of the season: trivia nights, themed dinners, scary-movie bar screenings, and early crawls run cheaper, quieter, and more conversational than peak Saturday. Weeknights suit costumes you actually want people to look at, and bartenders have time to make the themed cocktails properly. Save the marquee spend for the big Saturday and fill October's calendar with weekday gems.
