From the Archives: Creepy tales and cultural traditions

Spencer Kelly | Monday, October 31, 2022

With this week’s edition falling on October 31, we felt obligated to write about Halloween. For those currently imbued with the holiday spirit, the following stories about campus ghosts, ouija sessions and seances will not disappoint. But we also wanted to look beyond “spooky season” stereotypes. The blurbs below consider the transformation of Halloween from

Halloween is just around the corner, and Scene has chosen its favorite songs, films and haunting reflections to celebrate! “Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge” Rose Androwich, Scene Writer The sequel to “Halloweentown” is better than the original. The first film relies too heavily on sheer shock factor. “Halloweentown II” broaches the idea of good versus evil.

Students visit Riedinger House for Saint Mary’s Ghost Stories

Cathy Doherty | Wednesday, October 26, 2022

With Halloween approaching, the Class Gift Campaign and Office of Residence Life sponsored the annual Saint Mary’s Ghost Stories event Wednesday night. Students gathered at the Riedinger House, a house on campus originally designed for home economics courses that are no longer offered. The scarcely used Riedinger House is rarely made available to students. As

Animation Nation: ‘Seoul Station’

The Observer | Wednesday, October 26, 2022

Halloween is upon us! While there are plenty of great animated Halloween movies like “Monster House” and “ A Nightmare before Christmas,” I wanted to find one that wasn’t entirely meant for kids. I wanted to try something new and see if there were any adult animated horror movies. However, it’s surprising to see that

Book Nook: ‘Witchcraft’ as self-care

Caitlin Brannigan | Wednesday, October 12, 2022

To set the mood for Halloween, I read Patti Wigington’s “Witchcraft for Healing: Radical Self-care for your Mind, Body, and Spirit.” I have no experience with witchcraft and didn’t know what to expect. I failed to connect well with the spookier aspects of the book, but its emphasis on self-care resonated with me. Its focus

‘Halloween Kills’ all hope in the franchise

Justin George | Friday, November 5, 2021

Do you ever feel like you’ve been cheated? As the crowd streamed out of my local cinema after the 6 p.m. showing of “Halloween Kills,” I began to ponder where David Gordon Green and company went wrong. Green seemed to have the “Halloween” franchise under control with the release of 2018’s “Halloween,” which was by

November is underrated

Mannion McGinley | Friday, November 5, 2021

It’s Halloween night in my junior year of high school. My sister gets home from trick or treating, drops her bag full of candy on the counter and sprints up the stairs to her room.  About an hour later, I get a call from her to come upstairs.  I open the door and the entire

Some spooky season shenanigans

Maggie Klaers | Monday, November 1, 2021

Last year, I could not believe how big of a deal Halloween was in college, but there was something so fun about watching a bunch of 20ish year olds running around playing make-believe for the night.  Growing up, I had a closet of costumes in my basement with a bin full of different identities I

Halloween Essentials, Vol. 3: The supernatural

It’s cold outside, the leaves are changing and Halloween is in a few days! This time of year, nothing hits quite as nice as a good supernatural horror

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
