Dead and loving it

October starts on Sunday, but get an early start on the month of horror with a midnight screening of “Army of Darkness,” the quotable, campy capstone to the “Evil Dead” trilogy, featuring zombies, evil twins, a time-travelling department store employee with a boomstick, and an evil book of spells. Hail to the king, baby!

Water colors

Lunar tunes

Keep your eyes (and ears) on the skies!

8 pm at Roulette [509 Atlantic Ave. at Third Avenue in Boerum Hill, www.roulette.org]. $25 ($20 in advance).
