The gods of time are cruel, for they have seen it fit to allow Halloween 2016 to fall on a Monday. While we lament this tragedy, there is still much to see and do on campus this Halloweekend (and even after). Behold! The Daily’s picks:
FRIDAY
Spookapella 2016
Details: Join Spirit of Color, BlackOut and Tufts' premier a cappella groups for an evening of Halloween-themed performances. Food will be served and all proceeds will benefit the Sharewood Project, a free clinic run by Tufts students and doctors that provides medical care to underserved groups in the greater Boston area. Tickets $5 for admission and food, $7 for an additional five raffle tickets. Purchase at tuftstickets.com.
Where and When: 6 p.m. -- 9 p.m., Alumnae Lounge.
Third Annual Rocky Horror Queer Halloween Extravaganza
Details: If watching people take singing and bobbing a bit too seriously isn’t for you, TUTV is hosting Horror Fest, a showcase of four student-made horror films. After those films, the LGBT Center and Team Q will screen the classic “Rocky Horror Picture Show” (1975). No tickets required, though the show has filled up in the past.
