SOMETIMES, Halloween feels so last year – you’ve been to the Village Parade (eight times), and sat in a cramped movie theater watching cheesy horror flicks while it still felt more like summer than chilly fall. But sometimes all it takes is a little research to find spooky events that don’t involve dodging transvestites or dropping wads of cash. Behold, seven deadly, nay, sinfully spooky events.

Scared silly

The National Comedy Theatre’s Halloween Spooktacular is a bizarre cross between “Who’s Line Is It Anyway?” and “Friday the 13th.” The show features macabre versions of a normal improv-comedy show – including a scene in which a performer’s head is submerged in a bucket of water. There’s also improvised ghost stories and a chaotic ending that, well, you kinda have to see in person (trust us). “This is the show that we look forward to and fear the most,” says Gary Kramer, artistic director for the National Comedy Theatre. “We only do it once a year, so the wheels usually come off about 30 minutes into the show. It’s more entertaining than our annual Thanks-tacular that we do in late November.”

When: Tonight, 7:30 and 9:45

Where: 347 W. 36th St

How much: $12-$15

Majoring in fear

You can check out of the Gravesend Inn any time

you want – only problem is,

you can never leave.

For the eighth anniversary

of this haunted hotel, professor Adam Macks and his

N.Y.C. College of Technology students offer a slew of newfangled attractions, including the totally upside-down room

of Tipsy’s Chamber, and Bellman’s Lament, wherein a fine gentleman has his head chopped off. If you have to use

the restroom, you better think twice, as the Bloody Bathroom

is your only option.

When: Tonight and Monday-Wednesday, 6 and 9 p.m., plus Tuesday at noon.

Where: City Tech’s Voorhees Theatre, 186 Jay St., north

of Tillary Street, Brooklyn

How much: $6 for adults, $4

for children 12 and under

Deadly tunes

There’s no chance in hell you’ll hear any renditions of Bobby “Boris” Pickett and the Cryptkickers’ tired “Monster Mash” during the Psycho Beach Blowout. This Park Slope celebration is being invaded by the Detroit Cobras, who bring their garage sound from Motown. The TarantinosNYC – a group inspired by Quentin’s flicks – will unleash a blend of ’60s and ’70s spy-movie and spaghetti-Western tunes, while Angie Pontani provides a few go-go and burlesque numbers. DJ Rex will also be spinning tunes as the crowd takes in a continuous montage of surf flicks and bloody B-movies on a giant TV.

When: Tonight at 7:30

Where: Southpaw, 125 Fifth Ave., Brooklyn

How much: $18.

or midnightkitchenmedia.com, or call (718) 230-0236.

A-maze-ing

Timothy Haskell, creator of “Nightmare: Ghost Stories,” decided 23 rooms of horror wasn’t quite enough – and added a huge, spooky labyrinth called the Maze to inflict even more fear on visitors this year. “We created a challenging and complicated maze to add to the attraction with zombies and creatures chasing after you,” says Haskell. But maybe the only things scarier than the paranormal experiences and campfire tales that await you are the demons and goblins hiding within the walls. Careful! They might try to steal a sip of Smiling Pumpkin Ale, provided by Heartland Beer. (We’re thinking the zombies become better looking with beer goggles.)

When: Tonight through Nov. 3. Times vary, so check hauntedhousenyc.com

Where: CSV Cultural Center, 107 Suffolk St.

How much: $25 for the haunted house, $10 for the Maze, $60 “VIP Haunt Pass”

Mwah-ha-ha!

CRUISIN’ COSTUMES

If you’re a lightweight in the Halloween fright department, at least put on a costume and enjoy the views of Manhattan from the 143-foot luxury Zephyr yacht provided by Circle Line Downtown. Dressing up’s a must for this cruise, so don your vampire teeth, grab an appetizer, visit the cash bar – and go see if you can get that Naughty Nurse to make out with you.

Where: South Street Seaport’s Pier 16

How much: $50, $45 in advance (21 and over)

Info: Call (866) 925-4631

cadre of dancers, musicians, sculptors and painters transform the 30,000- square-foot cultural center into a Halloween wonderland. The ball also boasts theatrical performances of just about every kind. There’s also a grand buffet with a variety of snacks at spook-tastic (by which we, of course, mean reasonable) prices.
