As the terrifying Oogie Boogie might say, “Well, well, well. What have we here?” What we have, Mr. Boogie, is a special screening of The Nightmare Before Christmas presented by the McKnight Center for Performing Arts in Stillwater. The 1993 Tim Burton stop-motion classic is the perfect way to launch into the holiday end of the calendar. All tickets include a complimentary bag of popcorn.

October 28. Tickets, $5.

There are plenty of frights to be found around Oklahoma in October, but few of them are as fancy as those at the Haunted Castle Halloween Festival. For twenty years, the Castle of Muskogee has sent tingles down visitors' spines with sixty-two acres of creepy attractions, including the Enchanted Train, Haunted Hayride, Torture Chamber & Catacombs, and the Monster Blaster.

Through October 31. General admission, $5.

Autumn is the perfect time to celebrate all things agricultural, and the one of the most delightful destinations to do that is Kenny Farms in Woodward. Here, the whole family can enjoy nearly three dozen opportunities for fall fun, like the corn pit, wagon rides, and a sorghum maze on the weekends. Folks also can meet the menagerie at the petting zoo, but don't expect them to be good at pumpkin bowling (they're all hooves).

Through November 1. Admission, $12 on weekdays and $18 on weekends.

Hex House is based on one of the biggest true crime stories ever to rock the city of Tulsa. The modern-day, haunted attraction ups the scare-factor though, with three locations filled with unearthly delights. It's not for nothing HauntWorld.com ranked HexHouse as one of the top fifteen haunted houses in the country.

Through November 7. Tickets start at $35.
