Halloween: The Science of Fear is a 60-minute interactive show for kindergarten to grade 12, staged in a haunted-house setting with sound and lights. A pirate welcomes the students and runs the experiments with the help of his young deckhands.

On the program: hair standing on end with the Van de Graaff generator, smoking dry-ice potions at −78 °C, a giant eyeball taking flight, exploding capacitors and a laser that pops balloons, before the grand finale of toad slime and a smoking gummy bear.
