✨ HALLOWMASS · MAYAT ÖD 2025: A Ritual, a Concert, a Night of Transformation in Denver

This Halloween weekend, Denver ascends beyond the typical costume parties and haunted houses. HALLOWMASS · MAYAT ÖD 2025, a two-night ritual performance event presented by itchy-O, transforms the Summit venue into a grand ceremonial space on October 31 & November 1, 2025.

Described as “a ritual incursion into the impermanence of form,” this year’s focus, Mayat Öd, invites attendees into a symbolic confrontation with what we outgrow: identities, structures, beliefs, and habits. With live performances, masked processions, interactive altars, and immersive soundscapes, HALLOWMASS offers not just entertainment, but experiential transformation.

If you’re drawn to the mystical, the avant-garde, or simply want to be part of one of Denver’s most talked-about immersive performances, here’s your ultimate guide: how to attend, local tips, and why staying with Be Our Guest Housing makes all the difference.

What HALLOWMASS Is

HALLOWMASS is the annual immersive, theatrical ritual project by itchy-O, a visionary performance collective blending sound, performance art, masks, percussion, and symbolism. Each year centers on a “Triad of Impermanence” and stages a themed ritual arc.

In 2025, Mayat Öd is the focus, a confrontation with collapse and decay, with the idea of letting go of obsolete forms. The event includes interactive “Altar spaces” where attendees are encouraged to bring symbolic offerings (objects, notions, memories) to lay to rest or release.

Musical anchor: SOUNDCULT, a project combining Thor Harris (Swans) and Lyman Hardy (Total Unicorn), sets the sonic tone in prime performances.

Expect over 50 masked performers, immersive percussion-driven soundscapes, and an altar environment that’s part sculpture, part ritual art installation.

🎯 Why You Should Attend HALLOWMASS

1. A Unique Cultural & Spiritual Experience

This is not your average concert, it’s an immersive ritual designed to provoke introspection, transformation, and collective catharsis.

2. Artistic & Visual Richness

Costumes, masks, altars, lighting, sound, and audience participation blend into a sensory tapestry. Perfect for those who live for bold art experiences.

3. Community Energy & Participation

You’re not just a spectator, you become part of the performance. Bringing offerings, dressing in ritual attire, or walking as mask-wearers deepen your engagement.

4. Resonance with Fall Season

Halloween, the thinning between worlds, pairs naturally with a ritual about impermanence. The timing and theming amplify emotional resonance.

5. Limited Offer & Prestige

With only two nights and curated attendance, HALLOWMASS is an event with scarcity and prestige, ideal for readers seeking “one-of-a-kind” trips.

🧭 Local Tips for Attendees & Visitors

Buy Tickets Early

Ticketing typically opens in August. Expect demand. Fee-free or hard tickets may be available in person via local partners (Wizard’s Chest, Off the Bottle) before they sell out.

Arrive Early

Doors are at 8 PM; arriving early gives you time for altar interactions, exploring the space, and settling in before the ritual begins.

Dress the Part

Ritual attire is encouraged. Flowing fabrics, masks, earth tones, black, and symbolic elements, give your look meaning.

Bring Symbolic Offerings

Small objects, notes, and items tied to things you wish to let go are welcome at the Mayat Öd Altar. But keep it light, no large or dangerous items.

Parking & Transit

Summit is in the city, use rideshare, public transit, or park early and walk. Avoid last-minute traffic. Check Summit’s website or local event pages for parking instructions.

Expect Afterglow

The performance doesn’t end abruptly. Plan to stay a bit, some quiet sonic or ritual hangouts may continue post-show.

Safety & Sensibility

While experimental, it’s still an all-ages event. Respect boundaries, follow venue rules, and stay hydrated.
