With today being Halloween, how can we choose just one event to highlight? We can’t. Here are our Top 5 picks. Costumes are encouraged at each. 1.)

If you are interested in celebrating Dia de Los Muertos in the traditional sense, check out our Big

Ticket column this week (see: pg. 14). For those who want to honor the holiday sans the religious aspects, Secular Dia de Los Muertos may be for you. This zoom event starts at 5:45pm and will include many Hispanic traditions and rituals that have been redesigned to celebrate the lives of those who have passed, their legacies, and their cultural heritage. For Zoom instructions, visit the events page at Facebook.com/AmericanAtheists.

Today and Thu, Nov 4, at 7:30pm; Fri, Nov 5, and Wednesday Sat, Nov 6, at 8pm; or Sun, Nov 7, at 2pm, see Smokey Joe’s Cafe, featuring the music of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller — the writers of hits like “Jailhouse Rock” and “Stand by Me” — at Casa Manana (3101 W Lancaster Av, 817-332-2272). “In an idealized ’50s setting, classic themes of love won, lost, and imagined blend with hilarious set pieces and slice-oflife emotions, sending the audience on a trip down Nostalgia Lane.” The show is suitable for most audiences. Tickets start at $29 at CasaManana.org.

4.) Are you feeling murderous? The Post at River East (2925 Race St, 817-9458890) is the place to be. From 8pm to 11pm, enjoy an evening of songs about murder and other creepy stuff at Murder Songs at The Post featuring Jacob Furr, Jerry Reynolds, Jerry Abrams, and more. All ages are welcome. Seating is firstcome, first-served. Tickets are $8 on Eventbrite.com. 5.) In partnership with the Outre Dance Project — a troupe in which the musicians perform live onstage with the dancers — The Texas Theatre (231 W Jefferson Blvd, Dallas, 214-948-1546) is hosting a screening of Beetlejuice with a live ballet pre-show.

3.) At 7pm, head to the Here Come the Mummies Halloween Party at Lava Cantina (5805 Grandscape Blvd, The Colony, 214-618-6893). Tickets are $15-100, and, honestly, I can’t describe this event any better than its promoter already did. “Cursed after deflowering a great pharaoh’s daughter, HCTM has been delivering their brand of terrifying funk from beyond the grave since the year 2000 A.D. While HCTM’s lyrics leave little to the imagination, their wraps have been the topic of much speculation. Some say they are reincarnated Grammy-winning studio musicians. Theories abound!”
