As Cornellians celebrate Halloween on campus, The Sun created a guide of activities for students to enjoy the holiday.
Sun on the Street is The Sun’s multimedia series interviewing students around campus on a variety of relevant topics. Today, we asked Cornell students what they will be dressing up as this Halloween!
As the weather gets colder and the nights get longer, video games are a great activity for a night in. Halloween is right around the corner, so it’s no secret that students are prepping for the season and thinking about their spooky activities at the end of the month.
The pumpkin placed on top of McGraw Tower on Friday, Oct. 20 paid homage to a 1997 prank where a pumpkin sat on top of the clocktower for 158 days.
For many, Oct. 31 is a time to delight in the classic indulgence in Halloween candy. But while these treats can be immediately rewarding, it is also important to recognize the nutritional and psychological implications of the holiday centered around an overload of sweets.
Although often left unspoken, there are acceptable and unacceptable paths to fame in Hollywood. Often actors who work with explicit content are regarded as lesser than. In its satirical fashion, X challenges this long held prejudice.
As the end of October creeps around, Cornellians showcased their creative Halloween costumes to participate in spooky festivities both on and off campus.
Each year, around this time, when the first icy breeze hits me, but I’m not quite ready to be shocked or frightened, I turn to spooky films and TV, allowing myself to settle in without being scared to fall asleep on a lonely night.
Which segues us into the way overanalyzed and over discussed topic of sexy Halloween costumes. I am far from the first person to write about sexy Halloween costumes: I’m not even close to the first person to write about them in The Sun. But since this is a Feminist column, I thought I’d add my own two cents on the topic and how this year I had the world’s best Halloween costume.
I’d like to consider myself a seasoned trick-or-treater, maybe even a master of the craft. For as long as I can remember, I would spend my childhood Halloween evenings bargaining and trading candy with my fellow sweet treat connoisseurs, attempting to optimize my selection. I’d say I’ve been through the trick-or-treating rounds enough to know what is good, and what is horribly bad.
In my neighborhood, the best houses gave us big candy bars or goody bags, and the worst, nothing at all, or equally as abhorrent, sliced apples. But I’ve certainly been hearing some recent horror stories about childhood trick-or-treating and found it time to finally create the nightmare list of treats. Our ranking begins somewhat mildly, with fruit.
