halloween fright nights bring light shows back for fall
october 27th - 31st
Location: Evansville Museum
Don’t be too spooked if you miss the Summer Laser Light Shows, because our Halloween Laser Light Shows in the Koch Planetarium this October are to die for! We’ll be playing some spooky music and lighting up the dome with some fun graphics during our FRIGHT NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM laser light shows.
New for 2012, Fright Nights at the Museum will occur October 27- 31. In our Halloween-themed shows, families can scream in delight during five evenings and on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Each Fright Night show is a 45-minute laser extravaganza that features music such as Feed My Frankenstein by Alice Cooper, Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult, Dead Man’s Party by Black Sabbath, and Attack of the Radioactive Hamsters by Weird Al Yankovic. And what Halloween show would be complete without Thriller, by the late Michael Jackson?
In addition, we will present special performances of Pink Floyd’s Darkside of the Moon on October 27 and two performances of our traditional, family-orientated show Laser Pop at 2 p.m. on October 27 and 28.
Tickets are $5 for matinee presentations and $7 for all evening shows with a $2 discount for Museum Members. Tickets may be purchased by mail, in person, at the door, or online HERE.
