Get ready for Halloween at Seattle-area pumpkin patches, corn mazes and haunted houses

Halloween is a few weeks away, so there’s plenty of time to plan your costume, get pumpkins, do the “Thriller” dance, get scared at a haunted house, find treats for your little ones and more at events around the region.

Many claim Halloween as their favorite holiday, plotting elaborate costumes and parties. Some are fans of harvest-season farm visits for seasonal fruits and veggies and colorful fall scenery. Still others are all in for some of everything.

Pumpkins are a Halloween season must, in a variety of sizes, colors and shapes, whether carved into jack-o’-lanterns, painted, cooked for pie and other dishes (don’t forget to roast the seeds, yummy!), launched by trebuchet, or simply natural and unadorned for a colorful touch of fall for your porch, deck, or table. Farm markets offer an array of pumpkins for sale, and many have pumpkin fields and wheelbarrows so you can venture out and pick your own if you’d like. Some venues are mainly produce and pumpkin markets, but many offer corn mazes, hay rides and a variety of activities, with cash-only attractions at some farms. Pets aren’t allowed at most venues.

If scares are your style, there’s an assortment of haunted attractions to get you screaming. Seattle’s Georgetown Morgue unearths bloody-crime terrors for teens and adults, and Nightmare at Beaver Lake in Sammamish has a scary walk through the woods to a haunted house. Wild Waves Fright Fest in Federal Way has haunted houses and thrill rides in the dark for teens and adults and Booville non-scary attractions for kids. Seattle Community Centers and other locations host carnivals for kids, and Woodland Park Zoo Pumpkin Bash on Oct. 28 and 29 has activities for kids and a chance to watch lions, hippos, meerkats, penguins, wolves, tigers, river otters and other zoo animals get pumpkins throughout each day so visitors can see what they do with them.

Dressing up as zombies to do Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” dance is an annual tradition on Thrill the World Day Oct. 28, including events in Seattle and Redmond.

Popular costume ideas this year include superheroes, princesses and animals for kids; and witches, superheroes and vampires for adults. USA Today claims that 16 percent of pet owners dress up their pets for Halloween; that’s probably a low estimate for pet-friendly Seattle, with pumpkins, hot dogs, lions and pirates among popular pet dress-up choices. Recycled clothing is a popular choice for creative, money-saving costumes for everyone, with new costumes and accessories also available thrift stores including local Goodwill and Value Village stores.

Here’s a list of Halloween and harvest season events; see our weekly Weekend Plus Datebook for updated event lists.
