We have your Halloween family activities! Enjoy the spooky holiday all month long with our Halloween collection from eMediaVA and some crafts and games from our friends at PBS Kids.

Halloween Spooky Science Special | Sid the Science Kid
In these Halloween segments of Sid the Science Kid, the kids learn all about bats, cats, spiders, skeletons, and slime.

Watch Flesh-Eating Beetles Strip Bodies to the Bone | Deep Look
Dermestid Beetles are fast and fastidious eaters. They can pick a carcass clean in just days leaving even the most delicate bone structures intact. This makes them the perfect tool for museum scientists—if you keep them far, far away from valuable collections.

Halloween hasn't always been about candy and costumes. Take a look back at the historical traditions about spirits that are the basis for this holiday. You're in for a treat!
