OLIVIA PAMAS, SOPHOMORE HYBRID VAMPIRE/WITCH

Inspiration: My mom and I wanted a mix of a vampire and a witch since I was really into Vampire Diaries. We were inspired by the color of vampire blood and goth fashion.

Details: I had a combination of spider netting with burgundy velvet fabrics and a red cape. It showed Halloween spirit while being fashionable.

EVA GRAU, SENIOR CLOWN

Inspiration: I came up with this costume after going to Spirit Halloween a couple of times. I chose this costume because it really complemented my personality.

Details: I bought the suspenders from Spirit Halloween, I borrowed fishnets from a friend and made the necklace and bracelets from an old dress.

NIKKI KONG, JOAN McCARTHY, & LINDA SHANKLE, LIBRARY HANDMAIDS

Inspiration: We always try to do something from books or literature, and The Handmaid’s Tale was being checked out by students a lot during that time.

Details: We wore big, white-winged hoods and red capes, and we walked around with our heads down and hands folded whenever we could.

NOAH CHLAN, SOPHOMORE SCARECROW

Inspiration: I came up with the costume after seeing a clown tunnel in an online haunted house where one of them pretended to be a prop. When people walked by I sat by the house in a chair as still as possible, and whenever they came, I would jump up and scare them. A lot of people seemed to enjoy it, and I’m glad they liked it!

Details: I bought a scarecrow costume at Spirit Halloween and then bought straw cuffs to go in between and make it look more realistic. I also put some fluff inside the sleeves and pant legs so I looked like I was a prop.
