As the year's spookiest night of the year occurred, our Louisville sisters were so excited to plan their Halloween costumes. We asked them what they had in store for 2023 Halloween and how they crafted their costumes; if they did it DIY style or opted for store-bought options. Their responses show a mix of creativity. It's difficult to avoid the frenzy and enthusiasm surrounding Halloween when walking through the hallways. For many, the highlight of the fall season remains dressing up in spooky or adorable costumes, with students eagerly filling out the costume form.

 On the form I sent out to students, I asked, "What will you be for Halloween?” and got many thrilling responses:

Some students said they would come as Batwoman, Strawberry Shortcake, a Disney princess, a Telletubie and even Channing Tatum. Each of these costumes have their own unique aesthetic with so much room for creativity. 

“‘The Shining’ twins with my best friend!” answered Clover Ebbott '25. 

This costume is a very fun and spooky idea that stood out to me. She will also DIY it, which shows the creative potential of Halloween costumes. In this case, she and her best friend can utilize store-bought dresses and then include their DIY touches with matching hair bows and ghostly makeup. It's a great example of our community displaying their individuality and creative ability.
