Reis Martin, sophomore, said, “I think I’m just gonna wear random clothes. I can’t think of any costume with stuff I already have. Maybe I’ll just wear my normal clothes with a scary mask.”

Many Leesville students plan and coordinate their costumes with their friends. Brianna Thomas, sophomore, said, ”I’m going to be a mermaid with my friends. I’m wearing this cute skirt and a matching top.” The majority of high school girls choose to go for a cute look on Halloween. Most cute costumes include a mix of corsets, tank tops, skirts, and mini shorts. 

While some students try to wear cute costumes, some prefer more humorous ones. 

Caleb Thiruchendru, freshman, said, “I’m going to run around my neighborhood in an inflatable Tung Tung Sahur costume.” Other students like Thiruchendru are in favor of wearing costumes that make people laugh instead of looking their best.

Couples costumes are one of the biggest Halloween trends. Last year, hundreds of deer and hunters roamed around Halloween. This year however, new couples costumes are viral.

Chloe Hook, freshman, said, “I’m being a dalmatian this year. I am doing a couples costume with my boyfriend [Charlie Richards], so he’s going to be a fire fighter, and I’m going to be the dalmatian.”

From carefully planned costumes to inflatable brainrot suits, Leesville students have their own unique way of expressing their personality in their Halloween costumes.
