Mixers and Elixirs: Spirits and Skeletons

Party amongst dinosaurs with music, cocktails and food, a screening of the horror classic 28 Days Later, and more at Houston Museum of Natural Science's Spirits and Skeletons.

Creep among the undead as DJ SkaDean spins haunting beats in Glassell Hall, or moonwalk your way to the Morian Hall of Paleontology, where DJ Q’s anything-but-prehistoric mix will have you dancing with the skeletons all night long. Over in Wiess Energy Hall, feel the shock of a high-voltage performance by Joilux, or drift into an otherworldly vibe with immersive music and visuals in the Burke Baker Planetarium. And if you dare, venture into the Wortham Giant Screen Theatre for a screening of the horror classic 28 Days Later (2002).

Sip on themed cocktails from our cash bars, and sink your fangs into frighteningly delicious bites from our food vendors—no limbs required! (Cash or card accepted.)

Costumes encouraged. Courage required.

The Best Costume will be crowned at 10 p.m., and Best Group Costume at 11 p.m. A mysterious judge will be roaming the halls, handpicking the most terrifyingly creative looks… so dress to distress.

Event is 21+
