Melrose Park Halloween superstar, Anthony Alfano, got the surprise of a lifetime from the Blue Man Group on Windy City Evil.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Halloween superstar Anthony Alfano made his annual appearance on Windy City Evil Thursday.

The 10-year-old Melrose Park kid was Downtown to show off his over-the-top Blue Man Group costume. Dressing him up in elaborate costumes is something his mom and dad hope can help people look beyond Anthony's cerebral palsy.

On Halloween, 9-year-old Anthony Alfano is a star.

"Seeing everybody's face light up bringing him in here is amazing," said Anthony's dad Tony.

After chatting it up with Ryan and Val, Anthony got a treat better than even a full size candy bar!

The real Blue Man Group stopped by Windy City Live to party with Anthony!

"For the Blue Man Group to come in here and surprise him, it's awesome," Tony said.

With Halloween coming up, some of you might still be searching for a costume. But Anthony Alfano already knows what he'll be: the Blue Man Group!

But that wasn't all! They've invited the Alfanos to the show as VIPs and sent Anthony home with a swag bag fit for a real Blue Man.

"I love when they embrace what we do with Anthony, so its fun that they get to come out and be a part of it," Anthony's mom Deanna said.
