If Halloween is approaching, it must be time for that annual theatrical command: “Let's do the 'Time Warp' again!” Consequently, the Circa '21 Speakeasy will stage its ninth-annual presentation of the cult-musical smash The Rocky Horror Show from October 18 through 27, treating audiences to live performances of classic songs in this nutty, interactive experience that has been delighting show regulars and virgins alike for more than half a century.

On October 24, a Golden Globe and Directors Guild of America nominee – and the director of 1993's Oscar-winning smash The Fugitive – will be of guest of The Last Picture House in the Davenport venue's An Evening with Andrew Davis, a special evening for movie fans featuring a signing of Davis' first novel (co-written by Davenport author Jeff Biggers), a screening of Davis' 1989 thriller The Package, and a Q&A with the filmmaker afterward.

Touring in support of their fifth and most recent album Elsewhere, a work that Kerrang! said "sees the band experimenting even more and wearing their varied influences on their sleeves, whether it's R&B, hip-hop, or 2000s pop," pop-rock outfit Set It Off headlines an October 19 concert at Davenport's Redstone Room, their latest recording also inspiring Crucial Rhythm to state that the musicians "continue to prove they have plenty left in the tank, and they're here to stay."

Famed for their avant-garde sound and horror film-inspired imagery that features masks and costumes, the alternative-metal musicians of Mushroomhead headline an October 22 concert at East Moline venue The Rust Belt, their August release Call the Devil hailed by New Noise Magazine as "intense and riveting, with ballads and mind-blowing bangers for the loyal fans and new listeners."
