SPOOKY STORIES

Still trying to get into the Halloween “spirit”? Or just can’t get enough of #ECUFrightWeek?

Trick or treat yourself to these ECU spooky stories – from a how-to safety guide for enjoying local festivities to a podcast that delves into the clown panic of 2016 and Slender Man.

Don’t miss top horror movie picks by a film professor and campus ghost stories told by students.

And we wouldn’t be ECU if we didn’t include research fitting for the holiday – a Brody School of Medicine assistant professor is growing mini brains (yes, brains) to better understand autism spectrum disorders and an assistant professor of biology is studying zombie crabs, creatures whose bodies have been taken over by a parasitic barnacle present in eastern North Carolina’s estuaries.

Happy haunting.
