Haunted happenings

Midterms and deadlines are a horrific reality right now, but make sure you get a chance to prowl through some of the late-October festivities ghosting around Pittsburgh this month. From a macabre art show to amateur photography, here’s the rundown of some events going on this weekend.

Pumpkin Carving

The Halloween decorations are coming out and Pitt Program Council wants you to join in on the freaky festivities. So PPC is hosting Pumpkin Carving at 10 p.m. in Nordy’s Place. Make sure you get there early — pumpkins will be provided first come, first serve.

Lucifer’s Gallery

The city wants you to celebrate off campus, too. Pittsburgh Tattoo Company is getting into the spirit with a Halloween-themed art show at its shop in Downtown. The art show starts at 7 p.m., and the costume contest kicks off at 10:30 p.m. The event is 21 and up.
