Air and Scare: The spookiest time of the year is almost upon us and if your own family doesn't provide enough thrills and chills, here's an event close to home that's sure to please. The Smithsonian's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center hosts the fourth annual Air and Scare Oct. 25. You'll be introduced to the strange and spooky side of aviation and space and hear stories about bugs in space, flying animals, and androids. Meet your favorite Star Wars and Star Trek characters. Take control of a creepy-crawly robot and a Mars rover. Create a spider finger puppet, a Halloween glider, witch rocket and other items to take home. There will also be face painters, story tellers, free simulator rides and activities just for tots. The free event runs 4-8 p.m. and admission is free. There is a $10 charge for car parking. The museum is located at 14390 Air and Space Museum Parkway Chantilly. For more information, call 202-633-1000 or visit http://www.nasm.si.edu/udvarhazy.
