If you haven’t been able to get out yet this fall, this weekend promises plenty of thrills, chills and family friendly activities with Halloween right around the corner.
Options include:
Creature from the Black Lagoon in 3D – Watch this 1954 classic horror flick the way it was originally intended: in 3D, baby! The movie, directed by science fiction filmmaker Jack Arnold, was released during the 3D fad of the 1950s. It is being shown at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 26, at the Screening Room, downtown, as part of Tucson Terrorfest . A new spooky season tradition, Terrorfest includes a film aspect that starts Thursday, Oct. 24, and runs through Sunday, Oct. 27. There is also a horror convention, with lots of cool horror-themed wares to buy, being held at the Ramada by Wyndham Tucson, 777 W. Cushing St., both Saturday and Sunday ( tickets to the con are $5 per day ). Tickets for the films vary. “Creature” tickets are $6. The Screening Room is at 127 E. Congress.
Night of Fright at The Pima Air & Space Museum – Pima Air & Space, 6000 E. Valencia Road on Tucson’s south side, goes from flight to fright this Saturday, Oct. 26, with games, airplanes, crafts, an inflatable maze, decorations and, of course, candy for the kids. The event is free, but (and this is a big but), parking is $25 per car, with everyone in the car having access to the evening’s activities. Night of Fright runs from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Reserve a space through the Pima Air & Space Museum website .
