The Hokulani Imaginarium at Windward Community College is offering an array of Halloween-themed shows through Oct. 29.
The Imaginarium is a high-tech planetarium and multimedia facility that uses 360-degree video projections to create “immersive adventures” for audiences.
Remaining Halloween events include:
>> Stargazing — Wednesday at 7 p.m.
Presenter and storyteller Krissie Kellogg will take viewers through a video tour of the Halloween constellations.
>> “Halloween: Celestial Origins” and “Nightwalk: Haunted Village Tour” will be shown as a double feature: 1 p.m. Oct. 28 (free showing) and 1 p.m. Oct. 29.
“Halloween: Celestial Origins” tells the history of Halloween and explores the night sky and the planets, constellations and stars that will be out on Halloween.
“Nightwalk: Haunted Village Tour” takes viewers through a virtual tour of a haunted graveyard. The 15-minute show features 3D animation.
The Oct. 28 showing is free as part of Windward Community College’s 50th-anniversary celebration.
>> “Mayan Archeoastronomy” and “Nightwalk: Haunted Village Tour” double feature, 2:15 p.m. Oct. 29.
“Mayan Archeoastronomy” incorporates science and mythology to take the viewer on a “poetic journey of the way Mayans have viewed and understood the universe,” a Hokulani news release said. “The visuals give the viewer the impression of being inside a beautifully stylistic painting.”
