Meow Wolf announced in celebration of all things fun and spooky, that it will feature The Cosmic Howl beginning, appropriately enough, on Friday the 13th. The Cosmic Howl will mix the immersive art experience of Meow Wolf with exhibitions, special events, live performances and more through Oct. 30. Guests will also win prizes and shop limited-time merch.

“The Cosmic Howl is a portal to a new dimension of imagination,” Kelly Schwartz, General Manager of Meow Wolf’s The Real Unreal said in the announcement. “We are thrilled to invite everyone to The Real Unreal for weeks of festive fun, fall treats, activities, and special events.”

From Meow Wolf:

Within all exhibitions, prepare to encounter a Meow Wolf imbued with a new spirit: with creative workshops, exclusive Cosmic Howl curiosities, singular cinematic soirees, otherworldly trick-or-treating adventures through Meow Wolf’s exhibits, and performances that manifest unexpectedly in unique spaces of the exhibition. Partake in thrilling scavenger hunts and embark on creative quests that enchant, beguile and maybe even lead to self discovery.
