Spend the day getting into the Halloween spirit at today’s Monstreal Horror-Thon at Hôtel Ruby Foo, a horror convention with a costume contest, on-site make-up artist, vendors with horror kitsch like VHS tapes and games plus exhibitions of vintage horror film posters, original art, film screenings and more. 7655 Décarie, 11 a.m.–7 p.m., $5

Jonathan Demme’s landmark 1991 thriller Silence of the Lambs gets a 25th anniversary 35mm screening in Montreal courtesy of le Cinéclub/the Film Society. Cinema VA-114 (1395 René-Levesque W.), 6:30–9:30 p.m., $8/$6 for students

Enigmatic pop star Sia brings her Nostalgic for the Present tour to the Bell Centre, with L.A. pop singer-songwriter and producer Miguel as well as British electronic duo AlunaGeorge. Bell Centre (1909 Avenue des Canadiens de Montréal), 7 p.m., $57.25–$144

The Red Bull Music Academy, in conjunction with the Mutek festival, hosts a very cool double-header event in the Olympic Park area: Dans les Abysses (10 p.m., free), with music by Lorenzo Senni, Dopplereffekt and DJ Stingray (playing Drexciya), Joel Cahen, Selfir, Cao and Sign Libra amplified underwater in the Olympic pool (BYO bathing suit). Another listening experience is happening inside the Planetarium: Dans les Cieux is a two-part event, and although the first part (from 10 p.m. to midnight) is sold out, the second part (12–2 a.m., $20) is still accessible — music by Lucrecia Dalt and Pan Daijing will be accompanied by some spectacular visuals. Note that space at both locations is limited, first-come-first-serve. Click the links for RSVP options. 4801 Pierre-de-Coubertin
