Halloween Mixtape

WEB-tape on spider web

Greeting, boys and ghouls! With Halloween fast approaching, many of you will likely be hosting parties, carving pumpkins, and planning optimal trick-or-treating routes, all in anticipation of the big night. As your trusty campus boos-paper, The Peak has compiled a spooky mixtape in honour of Halloween 2013.

Notice: The Peak is not responsible for any hooded figures, shapeshifting spectres or bloodthirsty, feral animals which may be attracted by this mixtape. We can neither confirm or deny its capacity to open a portal to hell underneath the Academic Quadrangle which may never be closed again, and we advise that you avoid the area altogether.

You have been warned.
