Happy Mid-October, Memphis! Here are the five things you won't want to miss in Memphis this weekend.

The pumpkin patch at Second Baptist Church is open daily. See the list of patches here.

OK, here's your weekend guide:

1. Haunted Houses—several of our annual haunted houses and attractions are open this year, albeit with restrictions.

• Wicked Ways Haunted House (select days through Nov. 7)
  I hear this haunted house at 160 Cumberland near Wiseacre is the most terrifying in town. This year, they're requiring face masks (of the health variety) and temperature checks, and are making arrangements to keep people six feet apart while going through the super-scary not for children haunted house. Proceeds benefit St. Jude. Check out the website for ticket info and hours, which vary depending on the day.
• Jones Orchard Shadowlands of Fear (Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays in October)
  Imagining yourself in cute flannel, picking apples and such? Forget it. At Jones Orchard, creatures and creeps come out to haunt the woods ("Festival of Fear") and the orchard itself ("Hysteria"). Haunted attractions are $15 each or get scared at both for $28. There's also a regular non-haunted corn maze for $8.
• HauntedWeb of Horrors (October 9-11, 15018, 23-25, 29 - Nov. 1)
  If their three haunted "houses" are anything like the scary sounds that emanate from their website, fright-seekers will love the HauntedWeb at 2665 S. Perkins Road. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased online ahead of time to skip the ticket line
