Get your costume ready for a campus Halloween

Are you tired of finding out about awesome Halloween celebrations only to learn it’s too late to go? Then look no further because you still have time to join in the Halloween fun York is U has scared up for tomorrow from morning till late in the night.


Visit the haunted house and sense your spine tingle as you feel your way down dark hallways from room to monster-filled room. Doors to the haunted house creak open from 11am to 4pm at Chancellor’s, on the first floor of the Underground restaurant. Look out for the lineups.

Come out to eat some spooky snacks at the Halloween feast served at the East Bear Pit in Central Square. Eat till you burst from 10am to 3pm.


The best is last — a costume dance party for everyone to enjoy at the Renaissance in Vanier College from 10pm to 1am. Coordinated by York is U volunteer Farha Ahmed, the dance party theme will be the Rocky Horror Picture Show.


“This year’s celebrations include the best of Halloween – trick or treating, a haunted house, Halloween candy and a costume dance party – and the best part is that it’s all free,” says Huma Qureshi, York is U special events director. “I look forward to a spooktackular Halloween at York.”
