AFTER HOURS: All Ages Dance Party
Vampires vs Werewolves

The moon rises over EMP Museum on November 12 for After Hours, an all ages dance party designed by teens for teens. An evening of monsters, music, and madness, this killer dance party honors EMP's new exhibit Can't Look Away: The Lure of Horror Film.

Deadly attire is encouraged, so hit the Halloween clearance aisle and break out your scariest wares. Prizes awarded for Best Blood Sucker, Best Shapeshifter, and Most Killer Costume. Horror makeup masters will be on hand to help release your inner monster.

Live music from THEESATISFACTION, KNOWMADS, DYNO JAMZ, and DJ DARWIN

Long before Edward vs. Jacob, vampires and werewolves represented two of the most iconic monsters of the silver screen. Much like Prince and Michael Jackson, the most important duels must be settled on the dance floor.

Additional activities include:

Youth-made horror films from NFFTY
Photo booth from Youth in Focus
Flashlight teen tours of Can't Look Away: The Lure of Horror Film
Scream booth play villain or victim as you scream on cue

Can't Look Away: The Lure of Horror Film offers visitors an in-depth examination of horror film, as expressed through cinema, biology, history, and contemporary culture. Visitors can view iconic artifacts, including the script from Night of the Living Dead, the alien creature suit from Alien, the scavenger demon from Constantine, Jack Torrance's axe from The Shining, the original "Gill Man" mask used in Creature from the Black Lagoon, Bram Stoker's original Dracula manuscript, and other horror film memorabilia. Can't Look Away: The Lure of Horror Film will be open during After Hours.

BEWARE! Due to the subject matter explored herein, this exhibition has a suggested rating of PG-13.

After Hours is presented in partnership with NFFTY (National Film Festival for Talented Youth).
