THE WEEKLY FRAME IV — WEEK 4

Halloweekend

October 31, 2025

During this time of year, the darkness creeps in, the air grows chillier and the breeze that passes brings feelings of suspense and eeriness. Goosebumps begin to spread across the skin. A feeling of unease fills in, but there is also a thrill that comes with it, knowing that a night of creative costumes, playful mischief and lively gatherings awaits.

The Daily Trojan’s Fall 2025 Photo section presents the fourth Weekly Frame of the semester, “Halloweekend.” In this installment of “The Weekly Frame IV,” photo editor Tai Lyn Sandhu and staff photographer Ruofei Zhu capture the spooky Halloween spirit around us.
