LANSING — Jack-o'-lanterns are starting to light up in anticipation of the potential knock-knock-knock of costumed trick-or-treaters on Halloween.

Corn mazes, costume parties, spooky hayrides and other events are happening to celebrate the upcoming annual Oct. 31 celebration of all that is black-and-orange scary.

As usual, communities throughout Greater Lansing are emphasizing safety as a key ingredient in this seasonal brew of creepy, crawly fun.

While some ghoulish knocks may arrive after porchlights switch off, here are set hours for trick-or-treaters, as well as some community events for those who especially enjoy this boo-tiful and spooky time of year:
