STEPHENVILLE, TEXAS—Tarleton State University’s planetarium will present Halloween fun for the whole family throughout the remainder of October. Weekdays, Oct. 19-30, the planetarium will run one of two shows.

“The first is a light-hearted look at Halloween through the eyes of a student witch,” said Larry Barr, planetarium manager. “It was produced by the Calgary Science Center and lasts for about 30 minutes. The second, titled Nightwalk, is sounds and images produced by our DigiStar projector. It is nine or 10 minutes long.”

The Halloween show will run Monday, Wednesday and Friday of the first week, with Nightwalk playing on Tuesday and Thursday. Viewings will switch the next week, with Nightwalk running on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and the Halloween show playing on Tuesday and Thursday. Show times are noon and 4 p.m.
