Here are some things going on in Central Texas:

Nightmare on Willie Nelson Boolevard

ACL Live has a haunted tour happening this weekend. People who attend get a guided tour of ACL Live complete with live performances from beyond the grave, behind the scenes stories, and spooky surprises. They'll have a family-friendly edition on Halloween.
