That night, the auditorium transformed into a vast fashion runway with an array of styles illuminated under the lights, offering a feast for the eyes. Every individual was fully prepared for this special evening, showcasing their best selves. From various characters from anime, iconic styles from movies, superheroes, American soldiers, to cartoon figurines—the diversity was truly astonishing. Some of these attires not only demonstrated the creativity of students and teachers but also brought about much surprise and laughter.

Particularly noteworthy was the portrayal by literature teacher Marta of a 'Bloody Mary' figure; the vivid blood, glimmering under the lights, evoked both terror and admiration. The 'Laoganma' portrayal by psychology teacher Chloe had everyone in fits of laughter; the meticulous wrinkles and distinctive makeup were incredibly accurate! Art teacher Yan's costume accessories, which she designs and crafts every year, left everyone envious. Furthermore, some students ingeniously combined cuteness with the festive atmosphere by impersonating a toy frog, hopping joyfully on the stage, bringing a lot of merriment to the scene. 

This costume showcase was not just a display; it was a testament to the respect for culture and the love for the festival from both students and teachers. Watching everyone immerse themselves in this special night, truly savoring every moment, it must be said, this was a Halloween night filled with joy and creativity.

During the escape room activity, my classmates and I underwent an exhilarating yet mind-boggling experience. To begin, we were led into a mysterious room. The door slowly closed behind us, leaving us with only dim lighting and a series of puzzles. Our task was to find all the clues, solve the puzzles, and find a way out before time ran out. Initially, we all seemed a bit flustered and lost. But soon, we all understood that to escape, we needed unity and everyone's strengths. We took our respective places, with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. The game process was not without its challenges. Sometimes, we felt anxious due to missing clues or being unable to solve a puzzle. However, we encouraged and supported each other, facing the difficulties together. I remember, with only five minutes left, we were stuck on the last two puzzles, feeling an unprecedented level of pressure. But in the face of pressure, we became more united and worked harder. Ultimately, at the critical moment, we successfully solved the puzzles and squeezed through the door to freedom. This experience taught me that in the face of challenges, as long as there is trust and understanding within the team, no difficulty is insurmountable. Additionally, I learned the importance of courage and determination, as they can help us navigate through any kind of puzzle.

In the darkness of the night, I held a dimly lit orange candle lantern and tightly grasped my companion's hand. Guided by two "stewards," we entered the "castle" - the haunted house in the admin building. Tonight, the admin building appeared drastically different from its usual self. Blocks of black curtains formed twisted passages, creating an eerie darkness that felt like bats might fly out at any moment. Faint piano sounds echoed from somewhere, further adding to the sinister and terrifying ambiance. Just upon entering, adjacent classrooms suddenly emitted banging and roaring sounds, and NPCs wearing horrifying masks were sprawled against the glass, causing us to scream in surprise. Frightened but curious, we followed the sound of the piano, holding onto each other's hands, and ventured further in. NPCs, equipped with props, intermittently roared out of the darkness, and terrifyingly realistic props emerged under the faint candlelight. As the piano sounds grew clearer, we cautiously pushed open the classroom door, startled by the "severed arm" hanging at the entrance, while using the candlelight to distinguish the pianist's figure. At this moment, another NPC emerged from the dark corner of the classroom, causing us to panic and flee. Along the way, the sudden appearance of screaming NPCs and terrifying props made us scream continuously as if they had appeared out of nowhere. Being "pursued" throughout, we finally arrived at the exit. Despite knowing that the horrifying masks were worn by familiar classmates, there was still a lingering sense of horror. At the same time, I deeply admired their dedication and professionalism, which provided us with an unforgettable and uniquely eerie Halloween haunted house experience!

Participating in the school's livehouse for the first time was a profoundly awe-inspiring and unforgettable experience for me. Upon leaving the parades in the hall, I was drawn to the vibrant music and lighting in the art square. This year’s performances presented a variety of styles, ranging from Hip-hop to rock, and even pop music and dance, involuntarily pulling people closer to the stage, dancing to the rhythm of the music. The flickering colored lights and mesmerizing sound effects created an enchanting space. Everyone's sincere passion for music infected every person present, and both teachers and students, dressed in various costumes, stood for an extended time in the audience area, enjoying the allure of the music together.

Despite an injury sustained in sports activities earlier, Kevin persevered to complete his performance on stage before heading to the hospital. The school doctor provided necessary bandaging, allowing Kevin to perform with exuberance, as if uninjured. A strong sense of youthful passion touched everyone. I waved a glow stick in my hand in rhythm with the music, feeling even more immersed in this musical feast.

Every detail of the event was incredibly captivating, and each performance was so splendid that it’s hard to forget. This music festival was not just a feast of songs but a genuine reflection of students' passionate involvement and vitality.

Apart from the thrilling haunted house escapes and livehouse performances, the event organizers meticulously arranged a series of entertaining games for everyone to relax and enjoy during their leisure time. Alongside the materials provided by the school, students brought in various enjoyable tabletop card games such as Werewolf, Exploding Kittens, and UNO. These games not only provided entertainment but also contributed to the development of everyone's logical thinking and teamwork skills.

Among these games, my friends and I particularly enjoyed playing UNO. This globally renowned card game is not merely simple entertainment but a form of heartfelt communication among companions. In this fast-paced, strategic game, everyone tested their intelligence and luck, sharing joy and surprises together. Time seemed to fly amidst laughter, and the process of playing these tabletop games required both individual astuteness and team trust and cooperation. These moments will undoubtedly be cherished as beautiful memories for us.
