You can be sure to run into whatever frightens you the most -- vampires, ghosts, zombies, mutants, clowns (evil and otherwise) and creatures of every kind -- as you make your way through more than a dozen horror-packed, adrenaline-buzzing, nightmare-inducing attractions, including the demented grandaddy of 'em all: Mortem Manor. The thrills and chills continue to pile on outside of Pittsburgh as you face down the "Friday the 13th" 4-D experience, skulk in complete darkness through the Haunted Ark, try to escape being a snack at the Villa of the Vampire and much more. And if that weren't enough, many of the "regular" rides and coasters are open during Halloween too, so you can keep that pulse rate sky-high throughout the night. [less-]

Based on the classic fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, Englebert Humperdinck's "Hansel & Gretel" is a fantastical story of a young brother and sister who must navigate an enchanted forest full of twists, turns, and one wicked witch. Siblings Hansel and Gretel are poor peasants. In a major parenting fail, their mother sends them to forage for strawberries in a haunted forest. They get lost and spend the night in the woods. The next morning, they stumble upon a gingerbread house inhabited by a witch who imprisons them. It will take all their wits to escape before she eats them! Since its premiere in 1893, this beloved opera has enjoyed great success. With Humperdinck's sweeping score, this whimsical operatic confection is sure to delight both adults and children. "Hansel & Gretel" is an opera which makes an equally good date night, girls' night out, and family outing. Originally written in German, Pittsburgh Opera will be performing it in English. Antony Walker conducts and Crystal Manich directs this production at the Benedum Center. [less-]

Known as a "longtime DIY country traditionalist," the fiercely independent Corey Smith linked up with a major label for his 10th album, 2015's "While the Gettin' Is Good", and the result was a critical and financial hit. It was powerful proof of the Georgia native's wide appeal, built on songs that blend country, blues and a host of other influences with heartfelt lyrics. He's currently working on an 11th album and has been touring. Since quitting his job as a high school teacher to pursue music full time, Smith has built a loyal following by word of mouth, selling more than a million concert tickets (leading one critic to muse "his shows sell out like he's giving away sports cars.") Be there when the singer-songwriter brings his Great Wide Underground Tour to the stage of Jergel's Rhythm Grille in Warrendale. [less-]
