Trunk-or-Treat so kids can eat

Boo-hoo

Lillian Smith, Staff Writer October 14, 2022
The scariest thing this Halloween is the lack of Trick-or-Treaters and the barren, plain yards of Americans. People everywhere are changing their Halloween traditions but not for the better. Instead of a night of scary costumes, long neighborhood walks, and candy, people are just buying the things that make the spooky holiday so special and keeping them for themselves.

Better than Christmas: Halloween lasts full month filled with candy, costumes, childhood memories

Gail Finch September 30, 2016
Along with the leaves and cool breezes, October is a month that gives rise to the Fall spirit. However, that’s not the only spirit that rises in the tenth month of the year. The age old tradition of dressing up in costumes and going house-to-house looking for candy for the sake of a child’s enjoyment is usually what comes to mind when talking about Halloween, but for an ever growing group of people, Halloween is so much more than that. It’s about the scary, the spooky, the freaky, and the weird.And it’s not just one day; it’s the entire month.

Trick-or-Tree: Movie provides transition from buckets of candy to milk, cookies

Screams, chills, thrills: Halloween movies reign supreme over other holiday flicks

Lucy Raleigh October 15, 2015
As the leaves begin to turn and the air gets a little more brisk, we begin to feel the spooky aura all around as October creeps in. With October comes fall favorites like the Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks, the comfort of wearing sweaters 24/7, and of course, the best of all, Halloween. Now if you’re like me and consider yourself a “Halloweenie”, then you totally understand the obsession and love for the amazing holiday. How could someone not love the monsters, candy, insane yard decorations, and most of all, the movies?

Holiday Feature: Happy Halloween

adviser October 31, 2012
Halloween was brought to the United States by Irish immigrants, after Halloween and All Saint's Day had been celebrated in the Celtic tradition for several centuries. The modern celebration of Halloween formed as the Celtic festival Samhain, which celebrated the return of ghosts to the earth, merged with All Hallow's Day, which was previously known as All Saint's Day.
