Tickets for the 7:30 p.m. performance are $20 for reserved orchestra seating. Mezzanine and lawn seating are free. Gates open at 6 p.m.

Lucas Waldin will conduct the Houston Symphony in a mesmerizing performance of horrifying horns, bewitching bassoons and chilling cellos. The performance will feature popular selections from Star Wars, Spider-Man and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, which will also feature narration by Jimmy Phillips.

Everyone is gravely encouraged to dress up in their Halloween costume for a chance to walk on stage during the concert.

Wristbands are required to participate in the Goblin Parade.
