Join us as we gather for a Halloween night of live monster music, dancing, strange cinema, ghost stories, costumes, “Skary’oke” & more!
About this EventIt comes from beyond…creeping towards you, closer with each day. There’s a voice that whispers in the dark, beckoning you toward darkened, hallowed halls. You see a hazy vision, becoming clearer: it’s…it’s…could it be? It’s the old building on the hill! As it comes into view, the voice draws nearer—summoning forth all manner of ghosts, ghouls, and, um…obscure costume characters. Now it’s right behind you—first a whisper, then a shriek: “Join us…join us…join us…FOR THE PRS HALLOWEEN BASH AND HAUNTED OPEN HOUSE!”
On the eve of the 31st of October, we will gather beneath the light of the moon, as the Philosophical Research Society’s gates creak open and we welcome you to an evening of live monster music, DJs and dancing, drinks, tarot readings, scary stories, strange cinema, a costume contest, howling “Skary’oke,” and Halloween happenings spread throughout our historic campus!
The night commences with a Haunted Open House, featuring special after-dark hours in the PRS Library, blanketed in darkness and lit only by the flicker of (LED) candlelight. There, we’ll host a Ghost Story Salon, inviting guests to share classic tales, personal encounters with the unexplained, or simply gather to talk about things that go bump in the night. Elsewhere, tarot readers await in the inner bookstore, while 7th House takes over the auditorium for an on-screen haunted happening, conjuring a strange collection of Halloween oddities, shorts, and other curiosities as still more surprises lurk throughout the campus…
Then, as the night grows darker and the bar materializes, the Bash begins! At 9pm, prepare for the monstrous melodic mayhem of the Midnite Monster Band, uniting Dracula, the Wolf Man, the Bride of Frankenstein, the Invisible Man, and more for an electrified blast of crypt-rockin’ sonic chaos! Once the monsters have returned to the shadows, it’s time to parade your most frightening—or funny, or both—finery in our costume contest, before our dastardly DJs descend upon the undead disco with dark designs to keep you dancing toward the witching hour! Or seize the mic and howl your favorite tombs—uh, we meant tunes—with some screamin’ “Skary’oke!”
So follow that voice from the dark, gather your fellow creatures of the night, and join us on the hill for a singularly strange and spirited Halloween at PRS! Costumes enthusiastically encouraged—all manner of humanoid creatures welcome!
