Park University held its annual Halloween-themed Fright Night on Friday, Oct. 25, which is an annual
event that offers a night of spooky entertainment and fun for students, staff, and the local community. Organized by Park’s student activities office and various campus groups, this event is located at Copley Quad dormitory. This festive atmosphere is filled with Halloween-inspired activities, decorations, and attractions.

The highlight of Fright Night is typically the Copley Quad hallways that are turned into a haunted house, where
volunteers from the university create a thrilling experience with eerie sets, special effects, and costumed students. Each floor gets scarier by the level as visitors make their way through dark, creepy hallways, encountering ghoulish figures and unexpected scares at every turn on the 4th floor. The first floor features kid-
friendly activities.

For those who enjoy a less frightful experience, Fright Night also includes costume contests, pumpkin carving stations, and multiple buckets of candy. Music, games, and crafts are additional draws of the event, appealing to
attendees of all ages. Students often use this opportunity to showcase their creativity through elaborate costumes or themed decorations. Some years, the event has featured outdoor movie screenings of classic horror
films or ghost tours that explore Park University’s historic buildings, rumored to have a haunted past.

Fright Night not only provides entertainment but also strengthens the campus community by bringing people together in a fun, engaging way. It allows students to take a break from their studies and embrace the Halloween spirit while bonding with their peers and the Parkville community.
