All over the world people of different countries and
different cultures celebrate Halloween; the time of the year when many
don costumes and try to scare the pants off anyone they choose as their
prey. Black and orange decorations, witches, bats, black cats, ghosts and
pumpkins adorn the town of San Pedro, as Halloween is celebrated with
much revelry. The usual "haunts" such as the Holiday Hotel, trim their
establishment with lavish decorations, and invite local ghosts and
witches, as well as visitors to join in this spooky occasion.

| LIFE's most scariest and prettiest costumes
|
Last weekend, adults and children, tourists and locals
enjoyed a howling good time at the many activities held in San Pedro
Town. On Thursday evening, the students of Lydia's Institute of Fine
Education (LIFE) held their Halloween Fair at the school grounds.
The San Pedro Sun paid a visit and found
ghosts chasing princesses and fairies, and a haunted room filled with
traps and goblins. The highlight of the evening was the announcement of
the winning costumes. Chosen were: Vince Pascasio - Scariest Costume
depicting a man with a disfigured face; Kaira Vasquez - Cutest Costume
depicting a rainbow princess; and Roceli Muñoz - Most Original Costume
depicting a scary ghost. LIFE's Halloween fair was a success and enjoyed
by all who attended.
On Halloween day, ABC Pre-School kicked off their
celebrations with the traditional "trick or treat." All of the school's
students and friends who joined the scary crew, haunted the streets of
San Pedro visiting stores and businesses in search of "something sweet to
eat". The children then gathered at the Lions Den for the ABC Pre-School
Halloween Bazaar. The fair was infested with ghosts, witches, and devils
running about scaring each other. There were many games for the little
goblins to play, and prizes were awarded for the following: Most Original
- Javier Williams Jr. - Jack the Ripper, Most Creative - Axel Canul -
Vampire, and Rochel Hancock - Spider, Cutest - Gillian Paz - Mermaid, and
Eileen Reyes - Pumpkin.
The San Pedro Roman Catholic School also
held their annual "spooky" Halloween Bazaar at the school grounds. There
were plenty of fun games, and a variety of delicious food and drinks, to
be enjoyed by the entire family. The main event was the selection of a
Miss Halloween 2003-2004 from each level of the school. The winners were:
Lower Division - Shaniel Velasquez, Middle Division - Janelle Alvarez,
and Upper Division - Tiara Castillo. The costume winners were: Scariest -
Rina Godoy, Most Original - Elina Gomez, Prettiest - Roshel Fuentes, and
Funniest - Valmont Marin.
The Island Academy also held their own frightening
event, with students competing to win prizes for best costumes. All of
Island Academy's students went to school Friday morning completely
covered in make-up and costumes, but only these few were chosen as
winners: 1 st place -
Ramon Nuñez - Dead soldier,
2nd place - Magdalena
Wendling - Dead cheerleader,
3rd place Davelle
Garrett - Jack the Ripper, and the Judges' Favorite - Chloe Phillips
Hayden - The Kitty. Following the competition, the entire school
participated in "trick or treat."
Not even ghastly weather could keep the creatures of
the night away from Holiday Hotel's Halloween Party last Friday. Donning
their most grisly and gruesome disguises, specters and spirits of the
dark provided much entertainment during the night. Winning the Grand
Prize for Most Creative was Tula Ayuso for her costume, "Beauty in the
Beast." Other wonderful prizes were awarded to the following: Scariest -
Esneda Warner as the "Thriller Chick," Most Elegant - Glen and Colleen
Schwendinger as "Louis L'Artiste and his Hollywood Starlet," Funniest -

Perly and Vidal Castillo as the "Aliens," and Group Theme - Miki Kim,
