Scrambling to figure out how to make the most of your week?

No worries, we have you covered.

Here is our weekly list of things to do around metro Atlanta:

Attend a Haunted House

Halloween is still a few weeks away but many local haunted attractions have already opened their doors. Enter if you dare and see what frightening creatures await at popular haunted houses such as Netherworld and House of Horror Hill.

“Georgia’s Global Peacemakers: The Carter and King Legacy”

Members of Martin Luther King, Jr. and former President Jimmy Carter’s families unveiled a new exhibit earlier this year at the D.R.E.A.M. Gallery of the National Park Service Visitor Center.

“Georgia’s Global Peacemakers: The Carter and King Legacy” will be on display for one year.

The D.R.E.A.M. Gallery is located at 450 Auburn Ave., Atlanta.

High Museum

The museum offers free admission to everyone during the second Sundays of every month from noon-5 p.m.

Use the free admission to explore exhibits such as “I See a Story: The Art of Eric Carle,” which displays the work of the popular “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” children’s author.

Majid Jordan

This is probably the closest you’ll come to attending a concert that allows you to wallow in your feelings if you haven’t already purchased tickets for Adele’s concert later this month. OVO artists Majid Jordan are perhaps best known for their contribution to Drake’s hit single “Hold On We’re Going Home,” but they’ve released an EP and their self-titled debut album since then.

ATL Horror Film Festival

The 10th annual Atlanta Horror Film Festival will take place at the Plaza Theatre and Mammal Gallery Oct. 13-16. The four-day festival will showcase shorts and feature films from new and established filmmakers.
