VIDEO: Skeleton Theatre’s hybrid finale, night 1

As mentioned here last week, after more than a decade and a half of animatronic Halloween shows – even an online-only pandemic production – the curtain is about to fall on Skeleton Theatre, forever. Tonight until 9 pm, and again 6-9 pm, this time it’s a sort of hybrid event: A very brief “performance” (video above) and then the chance to get up on stage, see behind the scenes, take pics with the skeletons. You can watch from backstage too. As the producers explain online, “Basically, you can watch the stuff we usually hide.”

Skeleton Theatre has been a Halloween tradition since 2006, masterminded by Chris Walker with a supporting crew of family and friends. (We’ve been covering it since year 2!) It’s in the front yard on the southwest corner of 36th/Hanford.

      The show, such as it was, only ran a few seconds past where our video ends. My partner probably would have caught it all if he hadn’t thought he was just recording a sample. Go catch it tonight!

    Many thanks to Chris, the team, and family for so many years of Skeleton Theater! I’ll never know your inspiration to start the shows or dedication and drive to put them on year after year, but what a gift they have been to the community. ST has been part of our family’s Halloween tradition, thank you for the seasonal delight! All the best to you – ST will be missed. 💀♥️💀
