<h1>Halloween '03<br>
<span class="heading3">Horror movies provide a screaming good time</span></h1>
<p class="byline">By Irene Thirlwall</p>
<p>Halloween has become a major holiday. Sales have surpassed Valentine’s
Day and Thanksgiving. And the level of excitement at Fresno State is
just as high.</p>
<p> Students at Fresno State have a variety of ways to spend the spooky
holiday. Some take time to watch their favorite horror movies.</p>
<p> “
The Ring, that was really scary, when the little girl came out of the
TV,” student Shauna Perron said. Perron, Taylor Jones and Gaozong
Thao mentioned which movies they think are the scariest out there.</p>
<p> Texas Chainsaw Massacre is at the top of their list. Perron said one
reason it is so scary is because it is true. The group also mentioned
The Exorcist, Nightmare on Elm Street and Ringu, the original Japanese
version of The Ring. </p>
<p> “
My dad saw it. He liked it, but he didn’t like the subtitles,” Jones
said of Ringu. </p>
<p> Alicia Gutierrez and Fabiola Campos also put The Ring at the top of
their list. Gutierrez said the young girl is the scariest character in
the
movie. They also listed What Lies Beneath and Texas Chainsaw Massacre
among their favorite spooky movies.</p>
<p> But neither Gutierrez nor Campos is planning to watch any horror movies
on Halloween. Guiterrez said she is planning to go to a haunted house
or on a hayride, or both. Campos said she plans to go trick or treating.</p>
<p> Other students on campus do have plans to watch a horror movie on Halloween—Scary
Movie 3.</p>
<p> Javier Segura and Alfredo Ruvalcaba said they are planning to dress
up as Cheech and Chong and see the movie tonight. Segura also has plans
to take his girlfriend to a corn maze.</p>
<p> Amanda Curiel said there isn’t much to do on halloween, so she’ll
resort to the one thing she said there is to do. </p>
<p> “
Parties, partying,” Curiel said.</p>
<p> Curiel and Maria and Erica Gil were planning to go to a party and dress
up. Curiel is going as a Flapper, Maria Gil as a vampire and Erica
Gil as an angel.</p>
<p> Even though they’re not watching a movie tonight, they still have
their favorite horror flicks. Curiel said the Halloween movies, with
Michael Myers, are her favorites. </p>
<p> Curiel and the Gils were also excited about Scary Movie 3. “I’ve
seen it; it’s good,” Erica Gil said.</p>
<p> But there are those who have less-traditional plans for this evening.
Tamyra Alston is working. </p>
<p> Danisha Lockhart-Moore and LaShondias Ware are going to parties but
will not dress up.</p>
