Halloween offers a great opportunity to be creative, and the STS program’s second annual Halloween costume contest received some fantastic entries! We saw characters from movies and TV, traditional horror movie types (like zombies!), animals, invented characters, and historical figures.

Although we loved all of the costumes, we did need to narrow this down to a few winners since it’s a contest. Here are the winners!

Best Overall: Alex Rolloff, as a 1404 Bohemian civil war succession lieutenant of the guard from the town of Uzhitz.

Best Science-Related Costume: Addison Balek, as a Chromodoris (a type of sea slug found in the Indo-Pacific Ocean)

Best Media Costume: Caleb Noe as Din Djarin from The Mandalorian

Best Pair Costume: Pari Bailey as Turanga Leela and Jon Gibb as Phillip J. Fry

Honorable Mentions: Undead Drumline as Best Team & Erin Mardi as Best Invented Character (Midwestern dad named Charlie)
