“I’m so happy, happy.” There is no better way to describe Danny Elfman’s Halloween show at the Hollywood Bowl on Saturday, Oct. 29 other than surreal. From the moment Elfman took the stage, I felt like I was in a dream. I have been an Oingo Boingo fan my entire life — if you didn’t

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.

Come little children I’ll take thee away into a land of enchantment … Is what I would say if I was an evil Sanderson sister from Salem, Massachusetts. You heard me right. It’s officially spooky season! Halloween might look a little different this year than most, however we can’t let that stop us from having

With the first real snow on Monday and about two weeks until Thanksgiving Break, we are in the full swing of the holiday season. I always find myself getting so excited once October hits because there is still time to prepare for Halloween and embrace the fall season. But every year, without fail, once Halloween

As the temperature progressively lowers and the perma-cloud begins to make itself comfortable in South Bend once again, students and faculty at Notre Dame alike prepare to celebrate Halloween season in a variety of ways. Alicia Bates, assistant director of student programming, said the Student Activities Office has a wide array of Halloween and fall-themed
