NightLife of the Living Dead

Calling all creatures of the night: We're dying to have you join us for our annual NightLife Halloween bash! Get into costume and come ready for a night dead-icated to mad science, killer music, and scary good drag performances by Reparations and Rice Rockettes.

Body Snatchers & Flesh Eaters
Swamp

• What if we told you zombies are real? Chat with Dr. Brian Fisher, the Academy’s entomology curator, and explore what happens when fungal body snatchers take over the bodies of ants.
• Watch Ornithology & Mammalogy graduate students Adan Deeb and Daniela Sanchez skeletize specimens (removing muscle from bones) so our flesh-eating dermestid beetles can get to work and finish the job.

Haunting Photos
Swamp
6 - 10 PM

• Sift through a graveyard of discarded and forgotten vintage photos to find one that speaks to you, pick a “soulmate" symbol for your chosen image, and create your own eerily romantic charm bracelet as a keepsake, courtesy of the Museum of Craft and Design.
