Ancient creatures are rising from the depths to descend upon the Missouri History Museum, but don’t be alarmed. These eerie legends of the deep aren’t here to drag you under—they’re bringing an unforgettable wave of energy. Brace yourself for a night of wicked fun as a live band performs Halloween-inspired rock and pop hits, from Thriller to Monster Mash and more iconic tracks. Step away from the music for a moment of mystique with free tarot and palm readings, then gather around the courtyard bonfire for spine-tingling stories of St. Louis’s haunted past, shared by MHS Public Historian Amanda Clark. And of course, don’t hold back on your costume—we’re all about that spooky style!
Join us in the Grand Hall before our main-stage event to enjoy food and drinks available for purchase. Enjoy live music, fireside ghost stories, and free palm and tarot readings offered by Circus Kaput!
