Something wickedly fierce is roaming the California Academy of Sciences. Peaches Christ, San Francisco’s queen of scream, headlines the museum’s annual Halloween haunt with roaming scare actors and a night of thrills around every corner.
From 8–9 p.m. in the West Garden, Peaches summons The Ghouls of Terror Vault to the stage and hosts a crowd costume contest. Performers include Carolta Di Carlo, Kat Robichaud, Lavender, Luismi Munstero, Meatflap, Raya Light, Sgt. Die Wies, and Vinsantos DeFonte.
Costumes are highly encouraged. Weapons and full-face Halloween masks are not permitted. This event is for guests 21 and over, and a physical photo ID is required.
