GREENPOINT — It's time to put on your costume — and life jacket —  for a nighttime ride down Greenpoint's murky waters this Halloween.

A haunted canoe trip is embarking on the Superfund site of Newtown Creek with "undead" leaders (who are also certified guides) from the North Brooklyn Boat Club, organizers announced.

"All are welcome to witness the horrors of the deep," the group says, welcoming all ages to the tour on its Facebook page. "You won't find anything this Halloween that's more Superfund than this!"

Tickets for the trip, setting off at 5:30 p.m. on Halloween, include a free drink ticket (which can only be used after the ride since no alcohol consumption is allowed prior to canoeing, the announcement says).
