Walpurgisnacht is coming!
If you're wondering why Butte Halloween, LLC hasn't been as active as in years past, the quick answer is that it blew apart in the apocalypse of 2020 and hasn't been reformed yet... but it will be! Plans are underway to form Butte Halloween, Inc. next fall in 2025. The reason is that, as some of you will know, the Offutt Family has long been at the heart of Butte Halloween's activities, with Gabriel Offutt having served as President of the LLC the entire time it was in operation. Now one of his sons is 19, and the other turns 18 in October of 2025, at which point the three of them will be enough to legally run Butte Halloween as an 501c3 Corporation.
This means we'll be able to get back to doing our more ambitious projects like The Butte Halloween Carnival and potentially a lot more fun things in the off season.
Stay tuned for more details!

Hosting an event that's autumnal, spooky, or just plain fun? Be sure to announce it so everybody knows and gets excited about it. Leave a message at 490-0105 or on our page at Facebook, or email info@buttehalloween.com. Last year I missed a couple of events because the e-mail got buried in the avalanche of October stuff. If you e-mail us and don't get a reply in a couple of days, please send a text with the subject of your email so I can pull it out of the haystack.
I'm experimenting with a new format this year. Once the events really start rolling in it gets really hard to keep the updates current with the old system.

We are not affiliated with Montana Haunted Attractions in any way, but they're the official go-to statewide attraction directory.
Butte Halloween focuses on locations within a 2-hour drive of our hometown of Butte, America, including Anaconda, Whitehall, Deer Lodge, Helena, Bozeman, Dillon, and points in-between.
We have nothing against Missoula, Great Falls, or Billings, they're just not in our jurisdiction.
These guys have the scoop on any place in the state worth a 2+ hour drive.
Destination Montana has a listing for local Missoula events.
Visit Great Falls has a similar one.
Billings has a Facebook Page for local Halloween events and Billings 365 maintains a Halloween listing as well.
This list is the best I found for the Kalispell area.
Their Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/Geek-Emporium-524034404417245/

Butte is passionate about Halloween and we want to create a space to share that passion with others. Our purpose is to provide a platform for Halloween enthusiasts to come together and celebrate spooky fun all year.
We value creativity, inclusivity, and fun. We believe that Halloween is for everyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. We also believe in emphasizing the more wholesome parts of our culture and providing alternatives to the more addictive or dangerous influences in town.
We are committed to tracking down, cataloging, and sharing everything spooky, silly, or fun in our area. We update whenever we learn something new, and there's always something happening, so check back often.
