Other than a ‘fancy dress’ club night (costume choices for girls: sexy angel, sexy devil, sexy stapler…you get the idea) student-friendly activities for Halloween are few and far between.

But just because you’re no longer 14 (making it socially unacceptable for you to go trick-or treating) it doesn’t mean that there aren’t loads of ways you can enjoy it.

Here’s some of the best Halloween-related things that you can do this weekend - and there isn’t a fun-sized Mars bar in sight.

Watch…a selection of the funniest and most terrifying short films online

Whether it’s the story of the misfortune cookie or the cutest zombies this side of Cartoon Network, you can be scared, amused and disgusted in equal measure.

Amateurish, I hear you say? Well any horror connoisseurs out there may prefer the Top 50 Scariest Movie Moments.

And while we’re on the subject of scary movies…

Vote…for your favourite scary movie at hmv.com

Cast your vote for the best horror film of all time for the chance to win a £100 hmv giftcard.

Whether it’s the classic Psycho, the gory Saw or the tense Jaws, they want to hear what film makes you sleep with the light on.

Drink…’bobbing for apples’

For a Halloween cocktail the recipe isn’t particularly shocking - the alcohol is optional (!) - and the ingredients aren’t exactly student store cupboard essentials.

But it’s got to be a hell of a lot tastier than pumpkin juice, so why not give it a go?

Read the Beanzine article Who you gonna call…Halloween in the UK! to find the spookiest attractions taking place nationwide (plus one in Las Vegas).
