We all share those memories of bone-chilling All Hallows' Eves of yore – you remember, the time you decided to be Superman or Tinkerbell the year the temperatures plummeted to 29 degrees. You won't be wishing for a Sasquatch costume this year, kids. Temperatures will reach into the low 60s on Saturday, and the worst things are going to get is a balmy 40 degrees.
If you're taking the ankle-biters (not the Kibble-eating kind - well, not usually) out for some trick or treating, take a minute and refresh yourself on Halloween safety. I know, I know, I'm being a total mom. Even so, it's better to be safe than sorry.
As for the rest of you: Don't do anything I wouldn't do. Which, when it comes to this town, doesn't really leave much out.
As heard every Friday morning on the KRMG Morning News with Joe Kelley, here's the rundown on what to do in Tulsa this weekend. Happy Halloween, everybody.
Friday
Vincent Price Double Feature
When: Friday, 8:30pm
Where: Gardner's Used Books, 4421 S. Mingo Road
Give yourself goosebumps with these two classics: House on Haunted Hill, the 1959 film starring none other than Vincent Price as the shadowy character who offers five strangers $10,000 if they can stay a whole night in a house with a reputation for murder; and The Last Man on Earth (1964), in which Price plays Dr. Morgan, the only survivor of a worldwide plague of the undead. The showings are free, but get around early – seating is limited. Oh, and don't forget to dress up for the costume contest.

Michael Jackson's This Is It
When: Opened Wednesday, Oct. 28
In this season of the Thriller dance, be sure to catch this rare glimpse into the final days of Michael Jackson, compiled from an estimated 80 hours of rehearsal and behind-the-scenes footage. Rated PG.
