If you’re looking for some scary fun this month, the annual Pumpkins After Dark is returning to Milton.

The Halloween tradition, which is held at Country Heritage Park, started Saturday and runs every day until Wednesday, Oct. 30.

“Pumpkins After Dark is Canada’s award-winning outdoor Halloween event,” said a spokesperson. “Featuring more than 10,000 hand-carved pumpkins, this one-of-a-kind walk-through experience is the must-see event of the fall season.”

Visitors will be able to explore the magical pathway of lit pumpkin sculptures and displays, with music, sounds and special effects.

With classic Halloween characters, dinosaurs and dragons, movie and pop culture icons, this family friendly event has something for everyone.

The show is all new this year and includes a medieval dungeon maze.

Other highlights include:

• Free samples brought by Haribo
• Wednesday pet nights
• Live pumpkin-carving demonstrations
• Fall treats & sweets
• Instagram worthy photo ops

There is free onsite parking at the event, located at 8560 Tremaine Rd.
