The Great Rotumpkin

Jump scare

It’s a ghoulish good time at The Great Rotumpkin, a spooky celebration that transforms the outside of the Rotunda into a massive movie screen. Multimedia artist Jeff Dobrow incorporates the iconic building’s architecture into a variety of spooky, scary pop-up projections that are sure to send shivers down your spine. Eerie music accompanies the visceral vignettes of dancing skeletons, ghostly graveyards, bubbling cauldrons, ghastly pumpkins, and more.

Friday 10/27–Tuesday 10/31. Free, 7pm. The Rotunda, UVA Grounds. arts.virginia.edu
