This Halloween, the University of Arkansas students embraced the spooky season with an unforgettable event, Hell on the Hill. On Tuesday, Oct. 22, the festivities took over campus, centered around Reid, Hotz and Pomfret Residence Halls. The night kicked off with the Haunted House in Reid Hall, transformed into a labyrinth of creepy corridors and surprises put together by staff and the resident assistants. Freshman mechanical engineering student Matt Anderson said, “There were some really great actors and so many
twists and turns.” Sophomore marketing student and Reid Hall Resident Assistant Ashlynn Watson was one of the horror actors. “We had a vision to turn the kitchen into a horrific hospital room with the use of
bloody sheets, horrifying hospital records, several severed body parts, and even lots of giant
needles,” Watson said. “It took a lot of work but seeing the pleasant fear on everyone’s faces
made it all worth it.” Pomfret followed suit with its Tunnel of Terror where they encouraged students to “venture
inside where shadows come alive.” As the terror of the Haunted House concluded, the fun continued with an afterparty at Hotz Hall. This party featured food, games, a costume contest and themed music. Students came dressed in their most creative costumes including classic monsters, Harry Potter characters and pop
culture icons. Hell on the Hill brought the U of A campus together for a one-of-a-kind Halloween celebration
driven by the RAs creativity, hard work and commitment to being spooky.
