“The Cabin in the Woods” From the minds of Drew Goddard (Cloverfield) and Joss Whedon (The Avengers) comes this twist on horror films. Five college students take a trip to a secluded cabin and get attacked by strange creatures. You think you know the story, but the truth is it’s a lot more compli-cated. With twists you’ll never see coming and fun characters to root for, “The Cabin in the Woods” is a scary good movie.

“Alien” Widely agreed to be one of the scariest films of all time, “Alien” is a horror classic. The crew of the spaceship Nostromo sets down on an alien planet to investigate a

distress beacon only to fall prey to a deadly creature. With its claus-trophobic setting and horrifying monster, “Alien” will scare even the most experienced horror fan.

“Slither” A small town becomes the breed-ing ground for an alien monster as it infects, impregnates and pos-sesses the residents. Soon, it’s up to the town’s sheriff, a housewife, and a teenage girl to save the day. With equal balance between gross-out scares and farcical comedy, “Slither” makes for a fun Halloween movie.

“Cursed” After a car accident, two siblings discover they are transforming

into werewolves. As they attempt to reverse their curse, the two discover they are not alone. From the master of horror Wes Craven, “Cursed” is a clever twist on a werewolf film.

“The Strangers” After attending a wedding, a couple travels out to a cabin in the woods where they planned to spend the night. It was the house the boyfriend grew up in. After getting in a fight, followed by kissing and making up, the two are stalked by people with terrifying masks.

“Orphan” When a young couple loses their baby, they decide to adopt

a 9-year-old orphan girl who claims to be pure and innocent. As the movie progresses, the young orphan becomes more dangerous. Truth is, she isn’t re-ally an orphan.

“Hide and Seek” Aside from the fact that two amazing actors, Dakota Fanning and Robert DeNiro, are the main characters of this movie, the plot is so horrifying because it could easily happen to anyone. No more will be said, as we would hate to ruin this one for you.

Pumpkin this, pump-kin that. Pumpkin latte, pumpkin pie. Fall is full of scrumptious pumpkin recipes, but for this cookie cinnamon takes main stage. Cinnamon chips, sold by Hershey’s, make this recipe perfect, but chocolate chips are always a fallback. Cin-

namon chips can be found at Winco in the baking aisle, seasonally. This recipe also has a vegan option.

For other pumpkin or Halloween themed items, turn to page 10, where you will find sweet treats —and healthy ones too. Try pairing these cookies with the Vampire blood cocktail, or your preferred milk of choice.

Tucker and Dale are two best friends who have just bought their dream vacation home: a fixer-upper cabin situated in the woods of West Virginia. When

the two help out an injured col-lege student who was camping in the same area, her friends accidently mistake them for murderous psycho hillbillies. Through failed rescue attempts and horrible miscommunication between the two groups, Tucker and Dale’s dream vacation home quickly becomes a battle ground with an ever growing ros-ter of dead bodies.

This R-rated black comedy does a good job at poking at the sub-horror genre of which the famous “Friday the 13th” is a part of: slasher films. Part of the laughs come from an overused “horror-film formula,” of which most if not every horror movie junkie is very familiar with.

Take the following scene with all its details — A group of college kids on their way to have some fun stop at a gas station appropriately named “Last Chance Gas.” The scenery around them is looking rough, the natives stare at them oddly, and after what presumes to be a threat directed at them, the friends high tail out of there quickly. Ring any bells? The film is filled with references to other famous slasher movies that sometimes make it feel like yet another remake of “Scary Movie.”

However unlike “Scary Movie,” and this is where “Tucker & Dale VS. Evil” redeems itself, it looks deeper into the personas the charac-ters present throughout the chaos. The college students

aren’t just an ob-noxious, rich, peppy, and sometimes high bunch, and Tucker and Dale don’t just appear as rugged and dumb. The group of friends actually tries to make good and informative deci-sions when they first believe their friend is in trouble and Tucker and Dale show the troupe they are actually a sweet and smart pair of guys.

That’s not to say “Tucker & Dale VS. Evil” is without its faults. Some of the acting at parts is over exaggerated and the little romantic side story-conflict that is pre-sented moves too quickly for there to actually be some-thing serious like the film suggests. However, “Tucker & Dale VS. Evil” promises laughs for everyone — horror junkie or not. As an added bonus, the blood and gore is actually realistic this time.

The practice rooms in Ridenbaugh Hall will become torture chambers and jailhouses in a movie-themed haunted house for charity Saturday night.

Amanda Zohar is in her second year of participating on the committee that plans the Ridenbaugh haunted house.

Shayne Seubert, another commit-tee member, said there will be a clown room and a Grudge-themed room among other things.

“It was like, ‘Oh, hey, these are all sort of movie themed,’” Seubert said.

Zohar said admission to the haunted house is one can of food or a $1 dona-tion.

“Everything we get goes to the Mos-cow Food Bank,” Zohar said.

Between 6-7 p.m., the haunted house will be child friendly. This will include

a cakewalk, games and a kids’ lounge. Children will also go through the haunted house.

“We’ve toned everything down vastly,” Seubert said.

In an attempt to make it less fright-ening, Zohar said the floor captains dur-ing that hour will be dressed as princes and princesses to come to the rescue if children get too scared, or if something goes wrong.

After the children’s hour, the ghosts will come out and fully haunt Riden-baugh Hall.

“Seven to 11:30 is the scary time,” Rachel Lewis, another committee member, said.

Most of the haunting come from actors and costumes because Lewis said the building is scary enough it doesn’t need a lot of dressing up.

“That building scares me at night. Every night,” Zohar said.

Ridenbaugh was opened in 1902 as a women’s dormitory.

There are a couple of rules about haunted houses. Seubert said there is absolutely no touching. Lewis said this year there is to be no drinking before or during the haunted house, and bouncers have been hired to enforce the rules. Every floor has two floor cap-tains per floor to make sure the actors stay in their rooms and nothing else goes wrong.

“Everyone has to be safe,” Zohar said.Between 40 and 60 people are

volunteering for the haunted house. Lewis said the goal is to have every member of each organization involved do something.

The host organizations are Sigma Alpha Iota and Phi Mu Alpha, both phil-anthropic music organizations.

This year, Vandal Entertainment has teamed up with the two organizations

to help promote the haunted house and to pay some of the cost of the event.

Zohar said it cost them $98, and for the most part, they have materials from previous years.

With Vandal Entertainment foot-ing the bill, the Sigma Alpha Iota and Phi Mu Alpha were allowed to make a direct contribution to the food bank, Seubert said.

Lewis said she enjoyed seeing the whole thing come together from the inception to the payoff — seeing how many donations they get.

Zohar said she likes seeing how the actors get excited to play their parts.

Seubert said he enjoys seeing people get scared.

“Ridenbaugh is pretty scary once you turn the lights off, anyway,” Seu-bert said.

Cobwebs hang from the corners and plastic corpses greet the clientele from the store-front window of Safari Pearl in downtown Moscow. Inside the ringing of the entrance bell and the cack-les from Halloween displays create a seasonal cacophony as employees and customers prepare for the holiday.

“It is fair to say that Hal-loween is our favorite time of the year,” Kathy Sprague, co-owner of Safari Pearl, said. “We love Halloween, and we definitely focus on the cos-tumes most during this span of time. We tend to outsell most online companies and competitors in this area so we’re very confident when this time rolls around. There are theme parties year round so we sell costumes during those, but we hit a bump in sales during the Halloween season. This bump also helps to bring attention toward some of our other focuses like comics and games.”

Part of the reason Sprague feels so confident is because of the gifted staff Safari Pearl has.

“We have four different make-up artists in our staff who are very knowledgeable. They are great in helping the customer pick out make-up that matches their costume. Usually a lot of them get involved in some of the community events like ZFun’s Bump in the Night, Garden Lounge’s Halloween party or the Zombie Walk.”

This year will mark the fifth time Safari Pearl has partici-pated in the Mos-cow Zombie Walk, which starts at Friendship Square and winds down to the Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre, but this is the second year of a new approach.

“Last year we played Night of the Living Dead and that was greeted with a large response, so we are trying to make it a yearly event,” she said.

The number of events Safari Pearl is involved with goes past Halloween into early November. The Tabikat Drag Show, a staple for the LGBT community for the last 17 years, is scheduled on Nov.

3 and is organized in collabo-ration with the Inland Oasis, an LGBT volunteer program. “We’ve always had a great amount of community in-volvement and we’ve always tried to be as involved, from giving out comics during Hal-loween to the events we’re involved in. It’s an exciting fun season,” Sprague said. Derek Kowastch can be reached

Professor haunts Brink Hall

Brink Hall was built in 1936 at the Uni-versity of Idaho to serve as a men’s dor-mitory. Nowadays, the building functions as faculty offices for the Statistics, English, and Math departments. For a long time, ru-mors and legends have circulated about Brink being haunted with ghostly spirits.

According to campus rumor, a professor who hung himself in his office haunts the third floor of Brink Hall.

“There’s some weird things that have happened,” a member of the third floor Math office of Brink Hall said. “There’s a key cabinet in a locked closet and one day I opened the door and all of the drawers were slid out except for the ones with keys in them.”

Of the four people who had keys to the cabinet, none of them claim to have slid the drawers out.

“Sometimes doors open and close when nobody else is here,” another member of the third floor of Brink Hall said.

Many different theories exist on super-natural phenomena. One explanation is infrasound. Infrasound is a low frequency sound wave that can cause chills and sensations of fear in the listener. A 2003 experiment in England found that when infrasound was added to the background of concert music, 22 percent of audience members reported feeling uneasy or sor-rowful.

Scientists believe buildings believed to be haunted are simply high conductors of low frequency sound. This also explains why most supernatural experiences hap-pen when a person is alone. The more noise from more people, the less likely that one person is to hear the infrasound.

“(I believe in ghosts) not in the Hol-lywood sense,” UI freshman Emily Brown said. “I believe that people can leave

emotions left over after they die in the electromagnetic field.”

Many paranormal theorists turn to the First Law of Thermodynamics in order to explain ghosts. In physics, according to the First Law of Thermodynamics, energy cannot be created or destroyed. So many paranormal theorists believe that when a person dies, their energy is converted into

a scientifically undetermined form of electromagnetic energy. That is why on paranormal shows such as “Supernatural,” the characters will use EMF meters or other de-vices used to measure electromagnetic fields in order to search for ghosts.

There is a modern-day stigma to believ-ing in ghosts. When I attempted to interview

anyone for the story, almost every person I contacted immedi-ately erupted into gales of laugh-ter at the idea of investigating haunted buildings across campus. However, “Ghost Hunters” a TV show about investigating ghost haunting pulled more than 2 mil-lion viewers in the season finale this February, which leads me to believe people are statistically more likely to be more curious then they would like to admit.

With this in mind, I contacted Campus Security and Facilities in order to arrange a ghost hunt in Brink Hall. Word of warning, do not trespass on campus buildings for ghost hunting without prior permission from security. Trespassing is a crime that is prosecutable by law.

Once I received authorization from Fa-cilities and Campus Security, I researched ghost hunting strategies. In order to directly contact a spirit, one is supposed to hold a séance. During a séance, the participants summon a spirit so that the spirit can communicate and answer questions. The spirit does this by possess-ing the leader of the séance who acts as

a medium. No less than three people are supposed to be able to hold a séance.

In order to conduct the séance and cap-ture any paranormal activity, I assembled a team of ghost hunters. I brought along a photographer in order to help capture events and three other people in order to conduct the séance properly.

The team arrived at 11 p.m. to explore the depths of Brink Hall. A security guard met us outside of Brink and was kind enough to stay with us and ensure our safety. So we bravely climbed the stairs to the third floor in order to reach the

spot where a psychic had said 10 years ago the spirit of the professor lingered.

We reached the third floor of Brink to discover lights blazing brightly from the ceil-ing instead of the dark hall I expected. The security guard then informed us that the lights of Brink run on an emer-gency circuit and there is no way they can be shut off. Ac-cording to my research, spirits often do not reveal themselves in blinding florescent light so we set off to find darkness.

The only rooms in Brink Hall without lights were the men’s and women’s restrooms. We congregated in the men’s restroom to call the male spirit of the professor. We performed the séance multiple times, but failed to summon the profes-sor or any other spirits of Brink Hall.

The Ghost Hunting team explored all of the dark regions

of Brink Hall we had access to. We per-formed the séance multiple times in the Polya lab past midnight and we still did not manage to summon any spirits.

But even if we did not summon any ghosts, my ghost hunting team and I managed to be a group of teenagers who ghost hunted in a building without befall-ing a terrible fate.

We are in the beautiful month of October, and as Hal-loween draws near it is time to scrounge for the biggest pump-kin you can find to take part in the annual tradition of pumpkin carving.

But how did carving jack-o’-lanterns out of pumpkins get started?

Halloween is linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, which means “summers end.”

The celebration launched the Irish and Scottish people into a transition from summer to the preparations for winter.

On the eve of Samhain, it was believed the spirits or souls of the dead would revisit their homes because the veil between the realms of the living and the dead was the thinnest on that night.

The relatives of the spirits would carve jack-o’-lanterns out of turnips or gourds and place burning lumps of coal inside them. They were placed by the front door and in windows to guide the souls to their home.

The jack-o’-lanterns were also believed to help ward off malevolent spirits and protect the people from evil.

There is an old Irish legend of how jack-o’-lanterns came to be and how they got the famous name.

The myth says a man named “Stingy Jack” invited the devil to have a drink with him, but he didn’t want to pay for the drink so he convinced the devil to turn himself into a coin.

However, Jack decided to pocket the coin next to a silver cross, which prevented the devil from changing back to his original form.

Jack freed the devil when he promised not to bother Jack for a year or take Jack’s soul when he died.

One year later, Jack tricked the devil into climbing a tree to pick fruit, but Jack carved a cross in the tree so the devil could not come down until he agreed to leave him alone for 10

more years.Jack died soon after. St. Peter

denied Jack’s entrance into heaven, and the devil remained true to his word and did not allow him into hell.

Instead, the devil gave Jack a piece of burning coal to light his way through the darkness between heaven and hell.

Jack placed the lump of coal in a turnip and has roamed the earth ever since.

The Irish called Jack’s spirit “Jack of the Lantern,” or “Jack O’Lantern,” and placed their own jack-o’-lanterns by their door-steps to protect them from his ghost.

Pumpkins were unknown to the Europeans until a French explorer name Jacques Cartier reported he found large melons around the year of 1584.

Before then, it is believed Native Americans had been growing and using pumpkins for many centuries and called them “isquotersquash.”

When the Irish immigrated to America, they encountered the native pumpkin, which was much easier to carve and had many other uses.

The practice of carving jack-o’-lanterns didn’t take off in America until Halloween was more widely celebrated in the 19th century.

The jack-o’-lantern is the most popular modern symbol for Halloween.

Today, carving pumpkins is a fun activity to do with family and friends, and creating jack-o’-lanterns has also become an expressive art form during the fall season.

Creepy crawly spiders, pale white ghosts, a chilling fog, running bones and blood-cur-dling screams — all these hor-rors will be encountered at the 11th annual Haunted Palouse in Palouse, Wash.

“Over 4,000 people attended last year, and we had 907 on Saturday,” said Annie Pillers, a member of the Palouse Cham-ber of Commerce.

The final two nights of the Haunted Palouse are Oct. 26, and Oct. 27, with admission sales open from 7-10 p.m.

Pillers said the event draws people from St. Maries, Idaho to Clarkston, Wash., and enter-tains ages 12 and above.

Haunted Palouse is a popular event for high school students and even 60-year-olds, but each year university students dominate the ticket sales, she said.

Each admission costs $15 and includes access to the howling Newspaper and Printing Museum, the creaking Old City Fire Station, for-tune telling and the Haunted Hay Ride.

Other bone-chill-ing attractions wait on the eerie streets of Palouse where goblins, witches, ghouls and other ter-rifying creatures lurk.

“Half the fun is the wait,” Pillers said. “There is all kinds of entertainment going on.”

There are freaky food vend-ers serving hairy scary ham-burgers, witch cider and sickly

sweet treats as well as many other fun food varieties.

Pillers said the set planning of the big event started about a month ago, and the building and decorating of the town and haunted attractions took about three weeks.

Haunted Palouse proceeds have helped fund the open-ing of the Community Center in the spring of 2012, which provides a clean, inviting and safe place for the community to have events, private parties or social functions.

The Roy M. Chatters News-paper and Printing Museum has equipment that was used to print pioneer newspapers, including a two-and-a-quarter ton flatbed press purchased by the Palouse Republic in 1890.

The museum is trans-formed into a haunted build-ing for the event, and anyone who dares to venture in will find themselves in a world of terror and horror.

All benefits will go toward several non-profit organiza-tions including the Palouse Community Center, the Palouse Arts Council, Little Sprouts Day Care, the Roy M. Chat-ters Newspaper and Printing Museum, the Palouse Lion’s Club programs and the Garfield Palouse Athletic club (GPAC).

This fundraiser accepts cash only for admission and food. All guests are encouraged to dress warmly and come pre-pared to be scared.

Mummy munchies Host a Halloween-themed party with food that crawls

Jack-o’-Lantern hummusOpen up a 10- to 12-ounce

container of hummus. Red pepper or spicy hummus works best for the orange color. Using rinsed and dried black beans or kidney beans, place them in the hummus in the shape of a jack-o’-lantern face. Serve with vegetables, chips, pitas or crackers.

Cucumber monsters Cut a cucumber into disks.

Slice each halfway to make an opening. Slide in a bell pepper tongue, then decorate the face using hummus or ranch and veg-gies and beans for the eyes, nose, and hair.

Vampire blood cocktail Mix 12-ounces of blood orange

soda — or Ruby Red Squirt — with 2 cups of cranberry juice. Add 5 shots of vodka and 1.5 shots of Triple Sec or an orange-flavored liqueur. Squeeze in the juice of one lime. Mix. Serve in a pitcher over ice to share. Optional: To make the drink virgin, instead of vodka and triple sec, replace with 1 cup of lemon lime soda.

Halloween pizza With store-bought pizza dough,

open package and lay on a floured surface to sit for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to temperature given on package. Separate dough into six pieces. Roll dough pieces flat with a rolling pin. Shape three pieces into squares and three piec-es into circles. Top with 3 Tbsp. of marinara sauce. Be creative and make ghost, mummy and pump-kin faces out of cheese, ricotta or vegetables. Bake for suggested time. Pull out of oven and let cool before the party digs in.

Edible eyes Slice up one big carrot into

circular disks, and smear with cream cheese. Place either an olive or raisin in the center.

Nutty spiders Sandwich 1 Tbsp. of peanut

butter between two Ritz crack-ers. Stick four pretzel stick halves on each side to create a creepy, edible spider.

Extras Don’t forget the candy corn

and Halloween utensils. The Dol-lar Store has cups and plates well before the month of October. Keep in mind that college students are picky and some have allergies, so plan accordingly and ask guests for any dietary regulations.

Jerry Schutz, president of Sirius Entertainment, began hosting The Rocky Horror Picture Show Experience in 2002.

“This is probably our eighth or ninth excursion,” Schutz said. “My involvement has been recruiting, loving. This is one of those shows that, well let’s face it, it is not a wonderful movie by any stretch of the imagination.”

Each show held at the Kenwor-thy differs throughout the night. The 7 p.m. show starts out small and mild, the 9:30 p.m. show is a little more risqué, and once midnight rolls around, the cast goes all out.

Schutz said what makes the movie fun is the audience participation. Rocky Horror gives Sirius Entertainment, a non-profit organization, a chance to not only raise money for themselves but they also donate money made to other non-profit organizations.

Last March, Sirius Entertain-ment was able to give $500 back to Moscow Mardi Gras, a youth oriented program that provides scholarships for young people.

Schutz’s favorite part about the experience this year was the new crop of Rocky Horror virgins, and his helpers.

“Truly this is a labor of love — none of us make any money — we all do this as volunteer,” he said. “If you really think about it, theatrical production — you do one play a night. These guys turn around and do three shows a night, two nights in a row.”

In the past, Sirius Entertain-ment was able to do the show with an entire shadow cast. But since Schutz had a heart attack, he has not been able to put a cast back together. Because he works full-time and is a student at the University of Idaho, he hired Jessica Wessel to be president of the Rocky Horror Picture Show Society of the Palouse.

“I want to get us back to hav-ing a live cast, a shadow cast,” Schutz said. “But in order to do that you need to school enough individuals to learn the show so that they can get up and actually do the parts.”

The Rocky Horror society is working on building a new crew

for the show. Currently, there are only five cast members who know the shouts outs that go with the movie.

“I actually volunteered for the (last) Mardi Gras showing, and that is when I got put in to the position of president or vice president, that hasn’t really been decided yet, of the Rocky Hor-ror Picture Show Society of the Palouse,” Wessel said.

Wessel has been in charge of everything from running the Facebook page, putting prop bags together and messing with the Rocky Horror virgins. This year, seeing an increase in numbers has been the best part for her.

“It’s a lot of fun to see people come in — even if it’s their first

show — ready to have fun. I’m also really impressed with the number of people who dressed up this year which all makes for a better, much more fun show,” she said.

In March 2013, the Rocky Hor-ror society and Moscow Mardi Gras will team up again. The mon-ey raised Oct. 19 and Oct. 20 will be donated to the Moose Lodge where they will use the proceeds to improve the stage used for monthly drag shows.

To sign up for casting with Siri-us Entertainment go to siriusen-tertainment.org or on the Rocky Horror Picture Show Society of the Palouse Facebook page.
