- The theme for Monday is Nightmare on Elm Street - also known as Pajama Day!
- The theme for Tuesday is The Shining - Twin Day! If you and your twin look scary, you could possibly get extra points from the judges!
- The theme for Wednesday is The Children of the Corn! Dress in your best western attire!
- The theme for Thursday is Lights Out! Keep the competition in the dark by wearing all black!
- On Friday the 13th, wear your favorite Halloween costume!
The best dressed students from each day will be selected and recognized by selected administrators with free entry into the dance!
