Halloween is popular among children as well as partying young adults; or it was until this pandemic.
Half a century ago, pranksters and ne’er do wells made trouble the prior evening known as mischief night. Die-hard Halloween enthusiasts decorated haunted homes to scare costumed trick or treaters ranging in packs begging door to door for candy with chants of “Trick or treat!”
Creative holiday haunts, decorations, costumes and campus trick or treating offer diversions in a semester without a scheduled break.
Enjoying the cool fall weather with friends and carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns makes a decorative start.
Cardboard cut into tombstone shapes then marked with humorous or revealing epitaphs can remake common areas into graveyards.
With this year’s holiday falling on a Saturday night, there will be free time to assemble a costume and don makeup for a zombie dance party.
For the sweet and mischievous, candy corn in tiny secure packages can provide an inexpensive treat tucked into the nooks and crannies of a single room.
