Art in ATX Halloween Market
What’s the scariest type of art? A skullpture! But don’t let that scare you from attending this Art in ATX market that aims to “manifest cooler weather and good tidings from the spirit world.” Get in the spirit with live music from noon to 4pm from DJ Ladybug, Cyclical Melancholy, Damascan Daydreams, and Wild Heaven, who’ll certainly set the festively eerie mood for the market featuring dozens of local artists and small businesses as well as the optional (ticketed) pumpkin painting and Mod Podge workshop. Costumes are encouraged! – Kat McNevinsSun., Oct. 13

Bat City Scaregrounds
One part haunted house, one part fun fair, and one part amusement park, Bat City Scaregrounds covers every inch of its 15-acre domain with shrieks, squeals, and a rockin’ good time. New to the twisted map are retro trash punk shriek-o-rama Slaughter Mall, while the history of horror within Ancient Evil returns to ravage your brain before the vampires of the epic Castle Orlok take your blood and your breath away. Your heart won’t even slow down with the music and sideshow-style performers on the center stage. – Richard WhittakerSept. 28-Nov. 214101 South Turnersville Rd., Buda -

Theatre
Bunnicula
Wait, you might say. Bunny business? During Halloween? Isn’t that more of an Easter-type deal? Not so with the titular hare in this classic children’s chapter book turned theatrical tale, taking to the ATX stage under the direction of Deanna Belardinelli. James and Deborah Howe’s story about a curious cat, bumbling dog, and a suspicious bunny found in a movie theatre remains a great introduction to horror for kiddos. They’ll delight in solving the “mystery” of just who is exsanguinating all the carrots and cackle at Bunnicula’s many antics. Look: Either you come see this, or be subjected to another screening of Hotel Transylvania 3 – the weakest of the franchise. Make the right choice: See Bunnicula. – James ScottThrough Oct. 27 -

Fall Native Plant Sale
It doesn’t quite feel like fall, but as horticulturist Karen Beaty helpfully explains in a video about the Wildflower Center’s fall plant sale, now is a great time to get plants in the ground. They’ve got a wide variety of Texas natives that will conserve water, offer habitat to butterflies and birds, and provide other benefits in addition to beautifying your space. And if you want to see bluebonnets in the spring, better start now! Swing by to pick up plants and check out everything else the center has to offer, Fridays-Sundays from 9am to 1pm (last admission is 12:30pm). – Kat McNevinsThrough Oct. 27 -

House of Torment Haunted House
The big bone daddy of Austin haunted houses has sat on its throne of skulls and scares for 23 glorious Samhains. This year, it’s throwing open the gates to three attractions around the cursed town of Blackthorne: Beware the insectoid invaders of the Arrival before coming face-to-snarling-face with the Frail One, the keeper of a mysterious and malice-filled chest at the heart of the Abandoned. For retro chills, Torment ’99 brings back both your VHS faves and the black-and-white classic monsters for double the old-school scares. If that sounds a little too much for your nerves or the kids under your watchful eye, then come by 11am-2pm on Sunday, Oct. 27 for the lights-on Trick or Treat tour, complete with candy stations and monsters that only want to make you happy. – Richard WhittakerSept. 13-Nov. 9 -

Uhland Fall Fest
Autumn wonderland! Thirty colorful species of gourd! Oak-filled farmstead! Fall-inspired games! The inaugural, as in first ever, Uhland Fall Fest is bursting onto the scene this year, an hour south of town. It bids us whisper these nouns into your ear: camel rides, parakeet encounter, kids goat yoga (that’s in the Barnyard). The crazy corn pit, jeepers creepers van, lost souls cemetery (that’s in the Pumpkin Patch). Oh, and don’t forget your gleefully irrational reaction to pumpkins – you will be pictured with them! – Brant BingamonSept. 28-Oct. 272400 Cotton Gin Rd., Uhland, TX
