Greetings!
In just a short while it will be October 31st and the library team wishes the entire Alexander College community a Happy Halloween!
In anticipation of the date, the library has gathered a small sample of our collection of horror books and DVDs at both the Burnaby and Vancouver campuses for your enjoyment.
The sample display of the collection has short stories, novels, and DVD movies that are sure to give you a scare this Halloween season.
The Burnaby display includes the Steven King novel Carrie, which tells the story of a troubled girl with mysterious and dangerous abilities. The novel climaxes with a cruel adolescent prank and its deadly consequences.
The films include such famous titles as the sci-fi horror Alien by Ridley Scott in which a lethal life form from another world stalks the crew of a spaceship. In addition, there is the thriller Seven by David Fincher in which two detectives hunt a deranged killer.
The Vancouver display includes another Stephen King classic novel The Shining, where a family fights for survival in a haunted hotel. In addition, there is Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the tale of the infamous vampire.
If these items interest you, please come to the library and borrow one. If you want to borrow a different horror item not in the display, come to the library desk, and we would be happy to make a recommendation for the perfect book or movie for Halloween.
Also, as they do every year, our great Student Life team is putting on several events for students to celebrate the occasion.
Pumpkin Carving Competition
Halloween Celebration: costumes, candy, games, and costume contest
Canyon Frights: Walk through dark, scary trails
Dia de Muertos: music, traditional food, and decorations
