HALIFAX, N.S. — Halloween is quickly approaching, and coming up with costume ideas while in the midst of midterm season can be a struggle for university students. Luckily for Dalhousie University students, the Mackerel has you covered. Here are five bone-chilling Halloween costumes for university students.
- Your Last Midterm
What else can keep you up at night in a cold sweat other than the hardest test you have ever taken? Dressed in a large bristol board with a big, bold, red forty nine per cent written across the top is sure to cause your peers to shake in their boots. This is the full experience of a psychological thriller all rolled up in one costume.
- Grocery Prices
“Your total will come to” is a five word horror story when spoken by an Atlantic Superstore employee. This costume will remind college students of the age old debate, to eat or to pay rent?
- Your ex-roommate
This costume is bound to scare any neat-freaks you may know, haunting memories of rotten food, filthy dishes, and mysterious odours will come flooding back after one look at a costume based around their former roommate.
- The line at Lower Deck
A couple mannequins and a slight rigging system will give the full Lower Deck illusion, no matter how close you get, there are always the same number of people ahead of you.
- The Onion
There is nothing scarier than fake news. This costume will not only wag a disapproving finger at troublesome spreaders of misinformation, but it will also get you bonus points for a Shrek reference.
