Children young and old are to put on their spookiest costumes and head for Whanganui Regional Museum for a spot of Halloween horror on Friday night.
This year's Halloween Night at the Museum goes from 5-7pm, museum programmes officer Riah King-Wall said.
"There will be a whole bunch of Halloween shenanigans going on, based on the idea of the museum coming to life."
She's promising spooky skeletons, gigantic spiders and portraits that come alive. Ultraviolet light will be used in darkened areas to make scary outlines glow.
It will be too frightening for children under five. Those aged five to nine are advised to be there from 5pm to 6pm.
