Complete with exhibits featuring masks created by local and nonlocal artists, a zine and a haunted video store. Wonder Fair is certainly the place to go to get into the spooky spirit.
Wonder Fair, a Lawrence art gallery, is putting customers in the right mood for Halloween through its exhibit collection, "100 Ghost Stories."
The main exhibit is a print portfolio. Wonder Fair curator Meredith Moore chose 10 different artists to create masks that are both in the gallery and on sale in print.
Lizz Hickey, from Brooklyn, N.Y., made 20 different masks, each somehow featuring a chicken. Rudy Marron, who is from a Hispanic family, made Day of the Dead masks with American cultural elements, such as the Channel logo.
"The second exhibit is the zine. The local artists chose the writers." Moore said. "The third exhibit is the haunted video store."
Each mask is different, though all the artists used the same template.
To qualify, the artists all needed to be strong graphic designers.
There is only a few more days to see the exhibit, as "100 Ghost
"Students have to run to see it; it's your last chance," Moore said. "We are really sad to see the haunted video store go."
Stories" closes on Sunday.
However, students have the opportunity to attend one last blowout before "100 Ghost Stories" closes. On Thursday at 7 p.m., Liberty Hall is hosting a film screening of "Goul School," which was made in Springfield, Mo.
The film is about students who break into their school to steal a test and are haunted by the ex-principal.
A party will be held at Wonder Fair after the screening.
lights and giving out flashlights to look at the art," Moore said. "We also have a DJ, who is the music score composer for Ghoul School."
A secret also lies at Wonder Fair.
"There is a secret to unlock at the Haunted Video Store." Moore said. "If you tell the clerk you want a video card, you can get a coupon to use at Liberty Hall any time. We are also giving away free prints on Thursday night."
Wonder Fair is located at 803 1/2 Massachusetts St., above The Casbah.

Wild West Film Festival hosts 5-minute short-film contest
There are often two activities associated with the Halloween season: trick-or-treating and going to see horror films.

From the classic "Friday the 13th" series to the newer "Paranormal Activity" films, horror films and Halloween seem to coincide. Now, thanks to the Wild West Film Festival, people get to try their own hand at making horror films, only with a bit of a twist.
The Wild West Film Festival has been held in Lawrence since October 2005. It pits teams of filmmakers against one another with the challenge of creating a five-minute horror film in a 48-hour time span. The concept is one that may make potential filmmakers excited.

OPINION 5A
"I think this is a really cool competition, especially for someone who is interested in movies and making movies," said Edwin Saunders, a freshman from Vero Beach, Fla. "As someone who finds themselves as a movie enthusiast, I was excited as soon as I heard about it."

CROSSWORD 8A
While this competition may seem scary to some, it is done for a good cause. Proceeds from the Wild West Film Festival have gone to help a number of non-profit organizations.

While this task seems daunting at first, even the most inexperienced filmmakers have the ability to win.
"We've given over $1,000 to the Lawrence Women's Shelter in the past, as well as $500 to the animal shelter," Sellens said. "We've also given to Hollywood Hawks, which is the KU graduate association which helps place recent graduate film students. It definitely helps keep filmmakers coming out of Kansas."
Although the competition sign up deadline has passed, students can still attend the screening at Liberty Hall on Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 at the door. A DVD of all the films can also be purchased for $10.
"It doesn't really matter what level of filmmaking you're at or what kind of equipment you use," said Derek Sellens, the event coordinator. "It's about having a good idea and a well-executed idea that really makes it exciting for people. You never know what kind of film is going to win."
