It’s the most frightful time of the year! Post-Friday the 13th, students at Chapel Hill are gearing up for the spookiest holiday — Halloween. But with Halloween also comes the age-old stressor of finding a creative costume.

Staff writer Betsy Scarisbrick asked UNC students, “What are the trends for this year’s Halloween costumes?”
