Step into your worst nightmare at this fright farm in North Austin. Known for its high production values and immersive scare tactics, this is one up from watching horror movies all month. New this year are outdoor horror screenings for those who enjoy their spine tingling in fear.

Homo Arigato: This giallo film is a psychedelic, bloody trip filled with dreams and orgies. One scene was so realistically violent (at the time) that the special effects coordinator had to testify in court to save Fulci from going to jail on animal cruelty charges.

Claire Cottrill’s early SoundCloud recordings and 2018’s Diary 001 EP veered toward lo-fi bedroom pop. If her inclusion on pop superstar Charli XCX’s track “February 2017” wasn’t a sign, her studio debut, Immunity, removes the Massachusetts-born artist from that genre entirely. Glossier ballads coalesce with a longing voice and more polished pop on lulling fuzz opener “Alewife.”

Word to the wise: This gig sells out like whoa, so reserve tickets early.

Another six-night “Revidency” loads up on hand-picked openers for the Dallas psychobilly king, who settles into a support role mid-set for a series of special guests. This year, the Hayride commences with new Dripping Springs resident Alejandro Escovedo commandeering Heat’s spotlight. James Intveld, Jesse Dayton, Rosie Flores, Charley Crockett, Deke Dickerson, and more appear.
