Aerial arts return to the stage of Hilo’s Palace Theater, just in time for Halloween.

“Creepshow: A Scare in the Air” will take place at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 26 with a follow up matinee at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 28. The 15-act spooky circus show runs 90 minutes, and showcases 20 artists performing on aerial hoop, rope, fabric, trapeze and two custom-built apparatuses that have yet to be shown in Hilo.

The third aerial circus show to land at the Palace, “Creepshow” is produced and directed by Aerial Arts Hawaii, a production and talent company based out of East Hawaii. Founded by aerialists Bella O’Toole and Zoe Eisenberg, AAH’s previous show, “Love in the Air,” played to a sold-out crowd in February.

The show is rated PG-13 for occasional acts of sensual self-expression and an overall spooky vibe.

Doors open one hour before the show begins. A silent auction will be held in the lobby before the Friday night show, with all proceeds going toward aerial equipment for future shows.

Tickets are, in advance, $25 general admission and $35 reserved seating. Tickets are available at the door for $30 general admission and $35 reserved seating.

Tickets are on sale now at www.AerialArtsHawaii.com and the Palace box office.
