One major phenomenon this particular Halloween hunt was nearly every car running out of candy multiple times! This was, of course, due to the fact that smaller kids were snatching candy from countless cars.

“I had to go and re-stock candy at Gelson’s after managing to run out of over 350 candies, and I might have to get more yet again,” exclaimed Siena Bohem ’28, partway through the festivities.

Aside from the trunk-or-treating itself, pumpkin carving, face painting and the colorful, big bouncy house all played a role in this year's Trunk-or-Treat fun! Louis the Lion made a special appearance, his cheerful spirit lifting up the trunk-or-treaters. 

According to the opinions of Louisville students, the standout costumes included: Pumpkin baby, a little deer, Cinderella and Kpop Demon Hunter, Rumi. Pumpkin baby got the most praise, with multiple students mentioning them as a favorite.

Candy favorites also had some repeats. The top five favorite candies according to Louisville students, as well as the little trunk-or-treaters were: Twix, Kit-kats, Airheads, Trollis, and Nerds. The unique sour bat candies were also notably favored at this year's Trunk-or-treat. 

The most important part of Trunk-or-Treat, of course, was the cars. All classes participated in the festivities, and cars were decorated excellently in spooky detail. My personal favorite was the car based on Little Shop Of Horrors, done by Elyse Ramirez ’27; having Audrey II at the Louisville campus was certainly something I thought I would never see!

Trunk-or-Treat has some of the best costumes, creativity, and candy you’ll ever get. It’s a way to connect Louisville girls and the greater community back to childhood memories of Halloween fun.
