For many students, Halloween is more than one day out of the year dedicated to a scary movie marathon or a silly little costume party. Halloween means Halloweekend, a three-day celebration dedicated to the holiday — and to going out and showing off your most creative costume ideas.

The beauty of the holiday lies in its versatility. There’s room to be the funny friend, decked out in a bald cap and fake mustache or the aesthetically-appealing friend, color-coordinated in an Amazon corset, ready for the perfect Instagram shot. Even if you’re the group member that waited to plan a costume until the night before, it doesn’t matter — because anything goes on Halloweekend.

A&E spent time on the corner of 4th Street and 13th Avenue on the Friday night that commenced Halloweekend to photograph creative and quirky costumes students donned.
