HALLOWEEN @ THE BAKKEN

Only four horrifying nights!
October 27 - 30, 2022

Open Eye returns to the roof of The Bakken Museum for a third year of Halloween mayhem, this time with a multimedia spectacle conjured by Steve Ackerman and his team of puppet poltergeists.

Ingredients in this witch’s cauldron include a gothic heavy metal band, puppet-animal sacrifice, arcane mystic rites, and comic demons summoned in a rock concert / seance / mockumentary that will delight fans of movies such as “This Is Spinal Tap” and “The Exorcist”.

Bring your own lawn chair or blanket and dress for the weather! Tickets include free admission to The Bakken Museum before the show.

Created by Steve Ackerman

Featuring performances by Maren Ward, Jon Mac Cole, Orren Fen, Dominique Herskind, Helena Howard, and Kestrel Fen
