FALL FAVORITES FALLING INTO PUMPKIN CARVING SEASON Students Share Their Pumpkin Carving Ideas And How To Get Started BY DANIELLE PASCHALL Staff Writer Pumpkin carving is a Halloween tradition known for bringing friends and family together. As long as the proper tools and precautions are taken, many would say that this creative tradition is one of the best ways to kick off the holiday festivities. Keeley Shields and Autumn Kelley, alumnae, recently carved their own pumpkins and shared their thoughts on the activity. “Pumpkin carving is [my] favorite,” said Kelley. “It’s tradition!” Shields carved her pumpkin alongside her younger cousins; while they used the typical orange pumpkin, the former student chose to instead work on a white pumpkin. R e g a rd l e s s o f t h e s m a l l difference, all of the pumpkins carved by the family displayed different faces and different personalities. Shields remarked that the faces were highly representative of each artist’s own personality, which can be changed by the addition of small details like eyebrows, eyelashes or other subtle facial features. Kelley had an equally fun experience this year getting creative while carving her pumpkins in preparation for Halloween. She and her friends spent over an hour working on their art projects, resulting in some pieces to scare trick-or-treaters. The group of friends were proud to have worked so hard on their carvings, and correspondingly posted their masterpieces on social media such as Snapchat, but
Kelley was still somewhat critical of their results. “I thought our pumpkins were intricate and ridiculous until I saw some presidential inspired pumpkins,” said Kelley. “Nonetheless, I still think our pumpkins rocked.” Pumpkin carving kits generally are priced around $1 and include all of the tools necessary to be creative. However, Shields warned against using improper tools, remarking that her own clumsiness might bring her harm. “I would definitely end up with some battle wounds,” she laughed.

COVER GETTING SPOOKY THIS HALLOWEEN WITH ONWhile Many At Lynn Have Come Up With Their Own Plans For By BRIAN MARTIN Assistant Editor Around campus, there are signs everywhere showing how much Lynn students are preparing for the spookiest night of the year. For those who are still unsure of their plans for Hallow’s Eve, several events are going to be held to help everyone get into the right state of mind for the night.
PSYCHIC FAIR
had your fortune been told, you should come out and see [what they’re] about because I’ve heard they’re on point.”
MOVIE SCREENING Another event that will be taking place on campus is a screening of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” in the DeHoernle Lecture Hall located in the Green Center. The event begins at 7 p.m. on Halloween and is hosted by the Gay Straight Alliance. This particular screening, unlike the other events, focuses on more than just Halloween. “Students can expect an event full of fun and interactive film viewing,” said Armand Irizarry, upperclassman 3.0 student and Gay Straight Alliance president. “We want them to come out in their Halloween costumes to possibly win a spooky prize and at the same time [get] to know a little bit about LGBTQ history and
transgender remembrance.” Students can expect to get treats such as candy and prizes based on costumes they wear that resemble a “Rocky Horror” theme. “We chose this day because it is a great Halloween film that anyone could watch,” said Irizarry. “We want people to come out of it with a smile and a little more informed on transgender remembrance.”
HALLOWEEN FILM NIGHT
The first event that is scheduled for Halloween is the Psychic Fair, At 7 p.m., Sabine Dantus, outreach which will take place between 11 librarian, will be hosting the Lynn a.m. and 2 p.m. on Oct. 31 in the Library’s Halloween Film Night in the Student Center Lobby. The event will Cube. be hosted by the Student Activities Dantus stated that the event Board (SAB) and the Center for is both a showcase of one of the Student Involvement (CSI). Students can attend the event to get some insightful information about themselves. “The Psychic Fair allows students to get in the Halloween spirit by experiencing palm reading and tarot card reading,” said Jawaun Rogers, Student Involvement Coordinator. “I would encourage students to come and see what their future holds.” At the Psychic Fair, multiple psychics will give students predictions to give them an idea of what tomorrow may hold for them. “The psychics read cards and they also read your palms,” said Edson Hernandez, s o p h o m o re and president of SAB. “You know, if you’ve never Above: Dr. Frank-N-Furter, one of the main characters of “A Rocky Horror Picture Show”, Stock Photo.

HOW TO HOW TO PULL TOGETHER A LAST-MINUTE COSTUME
Procrastination Is Not An Issue With These Last-Minute Options By LAURA GARRIDO Staff Writer Students in need of an original Halloween costume, but do not want to get crazy making it, do not need to panic any longer. They can make their own costumes in a matter of seconds. These easy, quick DIY costumes will be a hit
at any party and they will still look like the costume was planned in advance. To achieve a generic nerd ensemble, essential clothing items include a buttoned-up shirt, some older high-waisted pants and a pair of glasses—the bigger, the better. To truly set off the look, students can carry a book under their arm for added emphasis. Looking like a hippie for Halloween is another easy option because stereotypically, hippies believe that being natural is beautiful. To build this look, students just need some sort of peace sign, floral apparel, retro sunglasses and a flower crown to bring the outfit together. When it is said and done, this outfit will rival those
of Woodstock. One of the more simplistic options for a costume is dressing up as a scarecrow. A pair of jeans matched with a plaid shirt and a pair of boots—plus an optional large hat— is all that is needed to complete this idea. Playing tourist is another way to go for a last minute costume idea because the outfit is made up of pieces most people already have. A floral shirt plus a nice hat and a camera gives the look a sense of authenticity. Students can add a Hawaiian lei if they seek to present themselves as if they are currently in a tropical paradise. Lastly, there is always the option to dress up as a witch or warlock. By simply taking a long black blouse, shirt or dress and matching it with a broomstick from home, the look is instantly recognizable by anyone. There simply is no need to break the bank to achieve a good Halloween look. With these suggestions, students have a good place to start.

ENTERTAINMENT LYNN STUDENTS’ FAVORITE HALLOWEEN MOVIES From Family-Friendly To Frightening, A List Of Recommendations By PAIGE STEGEMAN Graphic Support Every Halloween, many students make sure to dedicate time to watch their favorite Halloween films to get them into the spirit. Horror films are often named as good films for the season, but there are others to be aware of. Haynes Simpson, freshman said that his favorite Halloween movie is Ghostbusters. “The actors are very well put together and their characters are very comical,” said Simpson. “Their jobs and the suits they wear make them look goofy and also ready to fight ghosts.” Rob Rose, sophomore, said his favorite Halloween movie is Nightmare on Elm Street. “Sometimes a nightmare can change your life,” said Rose. “[And] even get to [a] point where it could hurt or kill you.” Spencer Jackson, junior, said his favorite Halloween movie is The Nightmare Before Christmas. “It was a funny film and [I] loved watching it growing up,” said Jackson. “I thought [Jack, the main character] was cool, so that’s why I liked it when I was little.” Michael Margolis, senior, said his favorite Halloween movie is Freddy vs. Jason (2003). “It brings together two classics, Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street,” said Margolis. “The movie in reality is not the greatest but the effects and story kind of make up for it. [It] was so bad, it was good.” Halloween is a great time for scary movies that can make a person jump out of their skin. Viewers like Rose prefer films that leave audiences frightened and afraid, which is a common theme for the
holiday. For some like Simpson and Jackson, funnier and lighter Halloweenthemed films are preferred viewing
material to get into the spirit. No matter the taste, there is always something to watch come Hallow’s Eve.
Whether family-friendly or terrifying, Lynn students favorite Halloween movies, such as Freddy vs. Jason (2003) (Above, L), Ghostbusters (1984) (Above, R), Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) (Below, L), and A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) (Below, R). Stock Photos.
