As ghouls and goblins make their descents on Baton Rouge today, the University community has been celebrating Halloween throughout the week. Many students celebrated the ritual this weekend at Voodoo Music Experience in New Orleans, while others dressed up early for parties around the city. Students adorned doors with zombies in East Laville Hall and handed out candy to young trick-or-treaters in Kirby Smith Hall. Here are some other ways to haunt campus as the University embraces the Halloween spirit.
• Scary, funny or just plain witty, dress up for a costume contest from noon to 5 p.m. at the bookstore.
• Get in the spooky mood from 6 to 7 p.m. as Swine Palace performs Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Black Cat” in the Event Room at the bookstore.
• “The Dark Knight Rises” screens in the Cotillion Ball Room starting at 8 p.m.
• Perpetual Groove will play at The Varsity at 8 p.m.
