Halloween is about a week away, so Toronto is throwing a bunch of weird, creepy events this weekend in preparation. Start your free days off with a zombie wrestling match that pits the undead again the (still) living. Then get a little freaky with an amateur strip contest judged by drag queens, followed by a Shakespearean burlesque show to cap it all off on Sunday. Just part of the bizarre lineup of events happening in Toronto this weekend, October 21-23.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not degrading if there are drag queens involved, right? The term \u201cstrip\u201d is getting a wide berth here and there are cash prizes for the winners, as well as for whoever gets the \u201cdishonourable mention\u201d for the night.<\/p>\n
