The Halloween schedule is different than other months. It's mostly to visit at night. If you go, don't dress your children with black outfits, you literally will be stressed of losing them in the dark!
Currently halloween is going on and you can buy halloween tickets for weekends and try to go to the park on staurday during october month only. You can get few rides....but not all functional as in normal days.
If you plan to go more than twice until Dec.2022, get Prime membership - it will cover the $20 parking and all night events.
For the month of October I think any ticket event is going to be a Halloween event. If you go on a Saturday or Sunday, the park opens earlier and you can stay till close.
