If you’re looking for the weirdest, most rock and roll thing you can do over Halloween this weekend, then put down the scepter and make plans to be in St. Petersburg on Friday.

A collective of friends has assembled two handfuls of Bay area rock, electro, rap and experimental acts and paired them with one must-see Miami party-starting outfit (Haute Tension, pictured) for Creeper Freaker, a 21 & up party that kicks off with a movie screening before unfolding into a weird menagerie of burlesque and the Sunshine City’s strangest sounds.

Yes, there’s a haunted house.

Fri. Oct. 25, 7 p.m. $15. Creeper Freaker w/Pleasures/Reality Asylum/Haute Tension/The Venus/Infinite Third/They Hate Change/Gushing/Gay St. Pete Housewives/Danny Piechocki. Paper Crane, St. Petersburg. eventbrite.com.
