From a USS Hornet Museum press release:

Rumors have persisted that spirits roam the decks of the USS Hornet. Now the public has the chance to find out if the aircraft carrier is indeed haunted and at the same time have a spook-tacular good time at the pre-Halloween Monster’s Ball Party.

The USS Hornet and 107.7 The BONE RADIO present Monster’s Ball on Saturday, Oct. 27 on the USS Hornet aircraft carrier, 707 W. Hornet Ave, Pier 3, in Alameda. The party begins at 7:30 p.m. and continues until 1 a.m. Join the gang and their top disc jockeys from The Bone and party the night away.

The Cocktail Monkeys will hit the stage at 8 p.m., performing hit rock songs from the '70s to today. Also performing will be Long Gon Bon and AC/DC tribute band.

Take a break from dancing and go on a haunted tour between 8 and 11 p.m. Food and beverages will be available for purchase along with a cash bar.

Don’t forget to enter the costume contest for a chance to win $500. The best rock costume will win a custom, limited edition Geddy Lee Fender Bass guitar.
