the catacombs

After two years of virtual events, we are inviting everyone back to Westminster Hall and Burying Ground to celebrate Halloween on Monday, Oct. 31, 2022, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Visitors can tour our creepy catacombs, roam through the eerie burying ground, listen to ghoulish songs from the Dan Myers Choir, and hear haunting dramatic readings. Plus, watch Westminster's premiere of Hollywood Graveyard's "The Graves of Edgar Allan Poe & The Women Who Haunted Him" (parental discretion is advised).

Admission is $5; kids younger than 4 are admitted free. UMB ID holders receive $1 off admission. Westminster's exclusive Poe products will be available for purchase, plus free apple cider and popcorn. For more information, call 410-706-2072 or email info@westminsterhall.org. Costumes are welcomed!
