Halloween Dance

So, I really do enjoy planning the dances for the ELC. Yeah, it adds a lot of stress, but it's fun too. For the Halloween dance, in addition to the dance and refreshments, we had a haunted hall, a costume contest, and a special performance by some of the teachers and staff. Check out the pictures below.

We did some special advertising for the dance. Two other teachers and I wore our costumes and announced it to the students in their classes. Our costumes were Queen Narissa, a Ute fan, and the girl from The Ring. The students were totally creeped out by that.


This is a glimpse of the haunted hall. It was darker than the flash implies.


A fortune teller "welcomed" the students.


Medusa surprised them around the corner. (Even though she does look rather friendly here.)


A wraith followed them after they passed.


A zombie startled them on their way out.


Then there was the costume contest. The funniest costume was a monkey. The scariest was a vampire. The best was Beetlejuice.




We did a performance for the students. It was 12 Days of Halloween. It was to the tune of 12 Days of Christmas, but with words more suited for Halloween. The 5th day was five scary spooks. Each time we sang this, one of the "five scary spooks" would kill of a member of the choir until there was finally nobody left. Then all of the dead choir members rose from their fallen state and ran into the crowd of students. Pretty awesome.
