Welcome to the Halloween 2012 edition of the Ace Picks for Lexington, Kentucky, now with the most zombies since our first list in 1989. Enjoy Ace’s highly curated and selective list of Ace Picks for the next eight days in the bluegrass zombie apocalypse (delivered to your inbox every Thursday morning via the Ace e-dition click here to subscribe, unless your brain’s been eaten.)
THURSDAY OCTOBER 25, 2012
How do you feel about pop-up restaurants? Never heard of them? Try the Korean Pancakes this week only at Institute 193, every day at lunch (a fundraiser for the arts non-profit).
The opening reception for Monica Pipia’s new exhibit is at Cardinal Hill; it’s international reading and eating night at the Carnegie Center; and comedian Brian Regan performs at the Singletary Center.
FRIDAY OCTOBER 26, 2012
Before you head over to Fourth Friday at the Art League, check out the Trust(ing) adaptation at Latitude at lunchtime.
UK’s Bale Boone symposium on arts and healing will conclude tonight with The High Lonesome Sound, Photographs by John Cohen, followed by a concert with Ben Sollee and John Cohen.
There’s a Halloween Walk at Raven Run, but if your blood runs colder than that, try the Zombie 5k at Equus Run (you think you’re fast? You’ll surely beat your best time with the unDead after you.)
Have a more literary approach to Halloween? Joseph Beth will host a signing for The Appalachian Undead.
And the midnight movie, for tonight and Saturday? What else? Rocky Horror at the Kentucky Theatre.
SATURDAY OCTOBER 27, 2012
Saturday will be tasty with the Incredible Food Show.

LexArts will celebrate their 40th Anniversary with a fundraiser at ArtsPlace.
Beaux Arts Fall Ball is at Buster’s.
