CNY Events for a Scary-Good Time

Central New York events to kick off the month of October.

It’s that time of the week again! Welcome to another edition of Inside/Out! This weekend figures to be a bit chillier than last weekend’s scorcher. If you’re willing to brave the early fall-season elements, there are a few haunted houses and attractions that kick off this weekend to take a look at. Syracuse Crunch hockey returns Sunday, sort of, with a preseason bout against the Utica Comets at the War Memorial. Just across the street on the same night, Beach Boys lead man Brian Wilson will take the stage at The Oncenter Crouse Hinds Theater. As always, scroll down for the details on these events.
