It’s Halloweekend, which means Baltimore has a bunch of fun events to lift your spirits and invite you to celebrate the spooky season.

From a performance of the music from the movie “Psycho” to a glow-in-the-dark party, there are plenty of ways to mark the holiday.

Plus, enjoy some non-Halloween events, like a musical about the life of singer Marvin Gaye or an exhibition about the Jones Falls.
