Monster House will be shown in Kresge Auditorium at 5:30 and 7:15 p.m. The animated film tells the tale of youngsters who battle a creepy house in their neighborhood that seems to be alive. Running 91 minutes long, the film is rated PG.
“I love this event because it gives us college students a chance to act like kids and to give back to the community,” said Mike Glassburn. A communication arts major from Alexandria, Glassburn directs the Student Union Board (S.U.B.), which is coordinating the 16th annual open house. Event chair and S.U.B. officer Nick Smith said hundreds of families attend the Halloween Open House as a holiday tradition, and some adults even dress up. “The kids love being around each other in costumes, and their parents appreciate being able to trick-or-treat indoors in a safe environment,” he said. Smith is a pre-pharmacy major from Kokomo.
