No one can deny that Baltimore is the center of activity the weekend leading up to Halloween. However, if you're not looking to go out to celebrate Halloween, there's a lot you can do without ever leaving Hopkins.
The most obvious, of course, is to go to the Hopkins sponsored events, namely the showing of Cabin Fever on Thursday, October 27, and Nolan's Scary Saturday.
Cabin Fever documents the story of five college undergraduates who catch a horrifying flesh-eating virus when they rent a cabin in the woods. The showing will be at 7:30 p.m. in Shriver Hall.
As for Scary Saturday, there will be a showing of Shaun of the Dead on the Beach at 7:30 p.m., followed by a Halloween party in Nolan's complete with games and food.
Another Halloween possibility includes going down to the Farmer's Market in Fell's Point, open from 7:30 — 11 a.m. on Saturdays, and picking up some pumpkins for the honored tradition of pumpkin carving.
Or take advantage of the common kitchens or the kitchen in your suite and bake Halloween themed cookies. Cut and decorate them with designs of pumpkins, ghosts, and spiders. Cookies aren't difficult to make, but are awesome to eat.
If that's not enough Halloween spirit for you, you could always curl up on Sunday night in your dorm with apple cider and a scary movie of your choice.
There is a lot to do in and around Hopkins for Halloween. A quiet night celebrating with your friends can be just as fun as going out.
