Haunted Flea Market Brings Celebs, Antiques, Ephemera To Wheaton

DuPage County Fairgrounds will transform into a Haunted Flea Market on Oct. 28.

WHEATON, IL — Horror authors, comic book artists, voice actors, a costume contest and aisles of eerie (and not-so-terrifying) ephemera will fill DuPage County Fairgrounds for the Wheaton Haunted Flea Market on Oct. 28.

The flea market, presented by Zurko Productions, will be held from 3 p.m. to 12 a.m. In past years, the event has featured live pumpkin carving, hayrides, hearses and other themed attractions.

In addition to hundreds of vendors, visitors can enjoy the following appearances, including "Hellraiser: Judgment" actor Paul T. Taylor
