we look for is a connection to Benton County or nearby counties in North- west Arkansas and southwest Missouri, something that happened around here or something that happened to someone from here. Any unusual happenings resulting in an untimely death and detailed murder stories certainly make for interesting ghost story retellings. "Each 'ghost' actor is given the obit and maybe a bit more information, and they write up how they want to portray the incident after doing research and figuring out the angle they want to take it from," she explains. "They then dress in character for the time period and tell the story." Registration is open at eventbrite. com or call the museum by Oct. 28. Registrants will be emailed a Zoom link by noon on Oct. 29. WHEN — 7 p.m. Oct. 29 WHERE — Online via Rogers Historical Museum COST — Free INFO — Register at eventbrite.com or call 621-1154 Live Scoring the Silents: Halloween Edition After a covid-induced hiatus, Trillium Salon Series is bringing back its Live Scoring the Silents program just in time for Halloween. In partnership with Like- wise: a community + co-working space in Fayetteville, Trillium will be screening F.W. Murnau's vampire classic "Nosfer- atu" on the Likewise's open-air, covered parking deck. "I think that it's going to be beautiful and resonant and chilling, honestly," shares Mallory Berry, Likewise co-founder. The space "has these scal- loped features in the ceiling and that, plus the concrete, really allows the sound to reverberate in a unique way. That, coupled with this classic horror film, is just going to be a really fascinating expe- rience, both visually and acoustically." The open-air, but covered, design of the space allows Likewise to provide a safe option for gathering, even into the colder months, Berry says. "It's definitely strange to be enforcing those policies that are so antithetical to what we desire as humans for inter- action, but I have noticed that it seems everyone has just had this longing for connection and in-person interaction in that way." An improvised score will be performed live over the film by new music group Thought Form Collective. An ever-evolv- ing group of musicians and composers, Thought Form Collective strives to high- light living composers and champion their music around Northwest Arkansas. Because of limited, socially distanced seating, RSVPs are required.
