Night falls on the marvelous city and something different is in the air, the silence heightens the tension and it’s not possible to know what’s going to happen… The first notes begin to echo in the Museum of Tomorrow, announcing the Candlelight Halloween concert, with some of the scariest soundtracks in cinema in a unique setting.
Candlelight: Halloween songs
There are songs that seem to open portals to the unknown. All it takes is for the first note to echo and you feel like you’re in a dark corridor, where shadows dance and silence weighs like an omen. That’s what it feels like to hear “Tubular Bells“, immortalized in “The Exorcist“, or to be swept away by Michael Jackson‘s “Thriller“, with its pulsating beat and voices whispering secrets from beyond.
And who can resist the macabre charm of The Addams Family? Between finger snaps and a dark humor, the melody plays between laughter and chills, proving that the sinister can also be fun. You may already know all these tracks, but something happens when they are performed by a string quartet, enveloped in the flickering light of thousands of candles…
Each note takes over the air and seems to dance in the shadows, the tension grows like a spell, and for a moment it’s impossible not to believe that spirits are circling the room. The chills are inevitable, even for the most skeptical.
Halloween Candlelight Concert at the Museum of Tomorrow in Rio de Janeiro
For 60 minutes, the iconic Museum of Tomorrow is transformed into a scene of mischief and mystery, where guests are enveloped by candlelight that creates an almost supernatural atmosphere. It’s the perfect stage to immerse yourself in the spookiest night of the year, right in the heart of Rio.

The repertoire also includes tracks that have become inseparable from the Halloween imagination, such as “Beetlejuice” and the medley from “Jack’s Strange World“. Only the most fearless will make it through the night…
