Did you know Halloween celebrated the dead walking among the living long before we followed Rick Grimes from his hospital bed up and out into the zombie-and-even-scarier-people-filled-world? True story.
Halloween, Hallowe’en, or All Hallow’s Eve is probably one of our favourite times of year because not only as kids did it mean free candy but now that it’s no longer socially acceptable to trick-or-treat with the other eight year olds, we still get to dress up and take on another personality for an evening (or three).
Oh Max, what a grave mistake you’ve made.
Whether you’re into DIY, thrifting through Value Village, big box costumes, or creating an ironic “I’m smarter than thou” costume, Halloween is your change to bring out and flaunt your creativity in countless ways! Ryerson, year after year, knows how to do Halloween, and so our Costume Contest is back!! The best part? Halloween is on a Friday this year, which means you have probably at least three days worth of dressing up to capture and share!
Bring out your inner Marnie, kids.
THE DEAL
Submit your Halloween costume photos with a brief description to share your costume with your Ramily and be featured in our Facebook album. Submitting a description is important because it’s your chance to show why your costume is creative, or maybe explain if it’s a little more obscure than your average cat-ears get-up.
