What to Wear: House of Horror

By Editor 8 years ago

Last day of ticket sales. Have you got your costume?

The question of “what to wear” plagues even the most fashion conscious individual. On Halloween, this conundrum is magnified to petrifying proportions: Slutty or sultry? Scary or satirical? Halloween costumes have become an extension of one’s very personality. They can be used to express political views, sexual desires or deep-seated childhood issues. On a night when everyone is meant to stand out, it is nearly impossible to fit in.

House of Horror, St Andrews’ largest and only Halloween-themed event, has set a strong precedent for potential costumes. The ad campaign is a homage to the American pulp movies of the eighties, cheesy B-list horror flicks that kept the fake blood industry in business. While they did not take themselves seriously, these films certainly went all out.

The committee encourages guests to do the same. Julia Westerman, Creative, describes Halloween as “a unique time where you can where whatever you want, be whoever you want. We want people to go hard with their costumes.” Ruby Redstone, also Creative, adds, “It’s very tongue in cheek. You’ll hear the ‘Monster Mash’ at least once.”

So, what ought one wear to groove along to these retro tunes?

1. Sexy [Thing]

A Halloween classic – If you don’t feel comfortable going full Disneyland, just shorten the skirt and add a pair of stockings for an adult take on a childhood tale. Although the above photo is less “sexy Nemo” and more “hooker wearing Nemo’s skin,” it exemplifies the notion of the Sexy Halloween Costume.

The list is endless: Sexy Professor Snape, Sexy Hippopotamus, Sexy Archbishop James Kennedy… Halloween knows no boundaries. If it exists, then it can be made into a Sexy Costume.

2. Normal Outfit with Fake Blood

It costs a fiver on Amazon. With a single tube of fake blood, an otherwise ordinary set of clothes can be transformed into a zombie-fied version of whatever they were before. Cheerleader uniform? Add fake blood, now you’re a zombie cheerleader. It’s just that easy.

Bear in mind that fake blood on the lips can lead to potentially awkward moments later in the night.

3. An Incredible Homemade Costume

How much did you spend on this? No one knows, but you’re the person the Union photographer can’t get enough of. Intricate hand-laced corsets, exotic paints and pompoms, things only found in a hardware store – this costume has it all. Just don’t expect to pull with fifty different layers on.

Homemade costumes straddle a thin line between “cheap” and “artistic genius.” As demonstrated on Raisin, plenty of third years in this town have under-utilised creative abilities. If they channel those energies into Halloween, the St Andrews sartorial scene may make headlines once again.

4. An Outdated Reference That No One Will Understand a Year From Now

Presented without comment.

5. Something Original 

There is no photo for this entry, because that would negate the idea of originality. We all strive to make waves, to reach a level of glory that will set us apart from our peers. Halloween is an outlet for the innate competition that exists at all universities, but at this one most of all.

Harley Quinn? A pun costume? Sexy Stormtrooper? None of these fulfil the oft-ignored tenets of Halloween: Be scary. Be funny. Be cool. But most of all, be yourself.

Tickets for House of Horror are available on FIXR, St Andrews’ most-used ticketing app.

  2. Most of whatever you claim happens to be astonishingly appropriate and that makes me ponder the reason why I hadn’t looked at this with this light before. This article really did turn the light on for me personally as far as this specific subject matter goes. However there is actually just one position I am not necessarily too comfy with and whilst I attempt to reconcile that with the actual central idea of the issue, let me observe exactly what all the rest of the subscribers have to say.Very well done.

  13. PBN sites
    We create a web of privately-owned blog network sites!

    Pros of our self-owned blog network:

    We execute everything SO THAT Google doesn’t grasp that this is A self-owned blog network!!!

    1- We buy domains from separate registrars

    2- The leading site is hosted on a VPS hosting (VPS is high-speed hosting)

    3- The remaining sites are on separate hostings

    4- We designate a distinct Google ID to each site with verification in Search Console.

    5- We design websites on WordPress, we don’t use plugins with the help of which Trojans penetrate and through which pages on your websites are produced.

    6- We don’t reiterate templates and use only exclusive text and pictures

    We refrain from work with website design; the client, if desired, can then edit the websites to suit his wishes

  16. These days of austerity and relative stress and anxiety about running into debt, many individuals balk up against the idea of making use of a credit card to make acquisition of merchandise or perhaps pay for any occasion, preferring, instead only to rely on the tried and trusted procedure for making repayment – hard cash. However, if you possess the cash available to make the purchase in full, then, paradoxically, that is the best time just to be able to use the card for several reasons.

    Flirt.com is a scam
    Hi all, got scammed by this website. Saw that there were a couple of post informing about this but just wanted to give more details
    Paid for the three day offer and with the confirmation of the subscription, got two mails from hornycontacts.com and loveaholics.com asking me to confirm my email. Didn’t pay attention and deleted them.
    I immediately canceled the subscription in flirt.com without any issue and on the last day it changed to a standard membership so since it was bs site, cancelled the account as well.
    So I was happy and watching a movie when I got an sms from my card provider telling me that I got a 71.78 euros charge from fry frtlsp.com. Never heard of them, so I called my card provider and cancelled my card and will request the return of the money as well.
    Then I realized that maybe these two websites also by some miracle signed me up to a paid subscription… so I logged in… had to recover the passwords because they were not the one I used in flirt.com… and surprise, loveaholics.com did signed me up for a paid subscription without me being aware (pretty sure that somewhere during the signing process in flirt there was something checked and didn’t pay attention.). So I had to cancel subscription and account in these two other sites.
    So, sorry for the long post but in summary…. do not use flirt.com at all!!!
    Yes, FLIRT.COM it is a scamming website. It sign you on multiple websites like askme4date.com . It bombard you with emails that you receive messages, and you need to pay to see them. After you pay you see the messages. All messages are from BOTS. No real person.
    It’s subscribing to automatic renewal and it’s hard to cancel renewal. They push you to a complicated scheme. I’m not even sure the renewal canceling works. After

  42. Thanks for your publication. I would also love to say this that the first thing you will need to carry out is to see if you really need credit restoration. To do that you need to get your hands on a duplicate of your credit file. That should really not be difficult, ever since the government makes it necessary that you are allowed to acquire one absolutely free copy of the credit report on a yearly basis. You just have to check with the right people. You can either find out from the website for your Federal Trade Commission and also contact one of the main credit agencies right away.

  79. Brands that manufacture chronometer watches
    Understanding COSC Accreditation and Its Importance in Horology
    COSC Certification and its Strict Criteria
    Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, or the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Agency, is the authorized Swiss testing agency that verifies the accuracy and accuracy of wristwatches. COSC certification is a symbol of superior craftsmanship and trustworthiness in chronometry. Not all watch brands follow COSC certification, such as Hublot, which instead adheres to its own demanding criteria with mechanisms like the UNICO, reaching comparable accuracy.

    The Art of Precision Chronometry
    The central system of a mechanical watch involves the spring, which delivers energy as it loosens. This system, however, can be susceptible to external factors that may influence its accuracy. COSC-certified movements undergo strict testing—over 15 days in various circumstances (5 positions, 3 temperatures)—to ensure their durability and dependability. The tests measure:

    Mean daily rate accuracy between -4 and +6 seconds.
    Mean variation, highest variation rates, and effects of thermal changes.
    Why COSC Certification Matters
    For watch enthusiasts and collectors, a COSC-accredited timepiece isn’t just a item of tech but a testament to lasting excellence and precision. It signifies a watch that:

    Presents excellent dependability and accuracy.
    Provides assurance of superiority across the whole construction of the timepiece.
    Is apt to retain its value more effectively, making it a wise choice.
    Well-known Chronometer Manufacturers
    Several famous brands prioritize COSC certification for their watches, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, presents collections like the Archive and Soul, which highlight COSC-accredited mechanisms equipped with advanced materials like silicon balance suspensions to boost durability and performance.

    Historical Background and the Evolution of Timepieces
    The concept of the chronometer originates back to the need for precise chronometry for navigational at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the 18th century. Since the formal establishment of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the accreditation has become a standard for assessing the accuracy of high-end timepieces, sustaining a tradition of excellence in watchmaking.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-certified timepiece is more than an visual choice; it’s a commitment to quality and accuracy. For those valuing accuracy above all, the COSC certification provides peace of thoughts, guaranteeing that each certified timepiece will function dependably under various conditions. Whether for personal satisfaction or as an investment, COSC-certified timepieces stand out in the world of horology, maintaining on a legacy of careful chronometry.

    Casibom, rakiplerini geride bırakıp eski bahis platformların önüne geçmeyi başarmayı sürdürüyor. Bu alanda eski olmak önemli olsa da, katılımcılarla etkileşimde olmak ve onlara erişmek da eş miktar değerli. Bu aşamada, Casibom’un her saat servis veren canlı destek ekibi ile rahatça iletişime geçilebilir olması büyük bir fayda sunuyor.

    Süratle genişleyen katılımcı kitlesi ile dikkat çekici olan Casibom’un arkasındaki başarılı faktörleri arasında, sadece casino ve canlı olarak casino oyunları ile sınırlı kısıtlı olmayan geniş bir hizmetler yelpazesi bulunuyor. Sporcular bahislerinde sunduğu geniş seçenekler ve yüksek oranlar, katılımcıları cezbetmeyi başarıyor.

    Ayrıca, hem spor bahisleri hem de bahis oyunları katılımcılara yönelik sunulan yüksek yüzdeli avantajlı promosyonlar da ilgi çekiyor. Bu nedenle, Casibom hızla alanında iyi bir tanıtım başarısı elde ediyor ve büyük bir katılımcı kitlesi kazanıyor.

    Casibom’un kazanç sağlayan bonusları ve ünlülüğü ile birlikte, platforma üyelik ne şekilde sağlanır sorusuna da değinmek gerekir.

Ayrıca, sitenin mobil uyumlu olması da büyük bir artı sağlıyor, çünkü artık hemen hemen herkesin bir cep telefonu var ve bu telefonlar üzerinden hızlıca ulaşım sağlanabiliyor.

    Hareketli cep telefonlarınızla bile yolda canlı iddialar alabilir ve müsabakaları gerçek zamanlı olarak izleyebilirsiniz. Ayrıca, Casibom’un mobil uyumlu olması, ülkemizde kumarhane ve kumarhane gibi yerlerin meşru olarak kapatılmasıyla birlikte bu tür platformlara erişimin önemli bir yolunu oluşturuyor.

Bu nedenle, Casibom’un sosyal medya hesaplarını ve güncel giriş adresini düzenli aralıklarla kontrol etmek elzemdir.

    Sonuç olarak, Casibom hem güvenilir hem de kar getiren bir casino sitesi olarak ilgi çekiyor. Yüksek promosyonları, geniş oyun seçenekleri ve kullanıcı dostu taşınabilir uygulaması ile Casibom, oyun hayranları için ideal bir platform sağlar.
