If you would like to volunteer with us, please reach out to info at mainstreetmuseum.org Through the study of an accumulation of small details, the aim of the Museum is to cultivate among both specialists, and among the general public, a sense of wonder at the big questions that arise when we study and categorize objects and our reactions to them. We believe that our relationships with objects are more complex than usually acknowledged; indeed sometimes far more complex.

Coming up this Saturday, Halloween night, we've got one of the biggest events of the year right here! That's right, Gory Daze!!!

We're gathering at the museum at 6:30, then lining up for the parade at 8, with the Brass Balagan Band leading, and then after that our spooky horde descends on the Briggs Opera House for the Gutter Ball with DJ gENdERenDeR!!! And during the ball, the Cobra Lily Collective will be putting on fun-sized performances in the dressing rooms.

We've been told that there will be an appearance by Devo tribute band Spuds, courtesy of WHAT DOTH LIFE!

And our friends at RePlay Arts will be open until midnight for costume/puppet/monster-making!

TUESDAY

So far this month you've managed to endure the most EXTREME emotional states known to humankind! Dread! Horror! Ennui! Mild peril! But do you have what it takes to confront your WORST NIGHTMARE? Well? Do you? IT'S A SERIOUS QUESTION.

The final week of SCARE-TOBER! The TERRIFYING reality of Nightmare II: The VHS Board Game! And then, the most FRIGHTENING film ever screened at Movie Night! Those few souls who survive intact may find the experience to be CATHARTIC on some level! It's like, 'hey, I made it through Nightmare II: The VHS Board Game, and now I feel more resilient and better equipped to navigate the complexities of existence!' THAT IS POSSIBLE. IT COULD HAPPEN. THIS COULD ULTIMATELY BE A GOOD THING, POTENTIALLY. 7:30pm at the Main Street Museum! Over Zoom at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/6513230906!

TUESDAY

A FUN AND TRUE FACT: I was originally going to call this month SCARY SCARECROWS SCARE ME and screen four films about evil scarecrows. At this point, in 2026, we've already had months dedicated to ghosts, monsters, haunted houses, witches, darkness, skeletons, cannibals, non-goblins, Halloween parties, mummies, Dracula, non-Dracula vampires, curses and hexes, plus multiple months showcasing Frankenstein and killer apes - I figured scarecrows were the new hotness. Then I realized the following: A) half of the scarecrow movies didn't actually involve Halloween, B) three out of the four movies were essentially the exact same story about a scarecrow or scarecrows coming to life and murdering hapless townsfolk, and C) I was not wicked enough to subject human beings to the 1995 Steve Latshaw/Fred Olen Ray pain parade known as Jack-O. At least, not yet, anyway. Give me time.

So! Go for broke! I picked the most unusual, most Halloween-focused scarecrow movie out of the bunch. It's an ambitious tale about denim jackets, slicked back hair, and escaping the awful garbage town you grew up in.

Week 3 of SCARE-TOBER commences! Bring your machete! 7:30pm at the Main Street Museum! Over Zoom at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/6513230906!
