With all the changes that have been going here at KGMB9 and "Sunrise," the weekend couldn't come quick enough. And now that it has finally arrived, it is a BIG one.

Halloween is here and there are more than enough concerts, haunted houses and parties to keep you, your family and your friends busy all weekend long.

For those of you who want to get this holiday weekend started early, the Honolulu Academy of Arts' monthly party, ARTafterDARK is happening tonight with — what else — a Halloween theme.

There is so much to do Saturday, it'll make your head spin like Linda Blair in"The Exorcist."

One thing you won't want to miss is Hallowbaloo, taking place in Chinatown. This is a huge block party and there will be five stages filled with live music and performances, and with one wristband, you can get into many of the Chinatown bars and clubs. It's worth checking out just to see the costumes!

Hip-hop legends Chuck D, Flavor Flav and the rest of Public Enemy will be performing at Pipeline Café with MC Lyte.

The Big Hairy Monster Ball, a benefit for the Hawaiian Animal Sanctuary, will be going off on the Eastside in Portlock.

Have a happy and safe Halloween!
