Fright Night Recap 2026

On the spooky evening of October 28th, our school hosted one of the most anticipated events of the year, Fright Night. This year’s annual Ferguson Fright Night did not disappoint, the event itself can be described in one word, “spooktacular!” Our school did an incredible job transforming the campus into a Halloween wonderland filled with exciting activities for guests of all ages. Families arrived with enthusiasm and excitement, many dressed in creative, stylish, and frightening costumes, with candy buckets ready to collect treats and participate in the various activities. From face painting to interactive games hosted by our school clubs, Fright Night offered something for everyone to enjoy.

The activities and booths were among the biggest highlights of the evening. The Pre-Med Club introduced an educational activity in which students designed balloons to resemble lungs using straws. By blowing through the straws, children could watch their makeshift lungs expand and look like they’re alive and breathing. Participants who successfully completed the activity were rewarded with plenty of candy. Meanwhile, the Science Club showcased several exciting experiments, with its bubbling potions being one of the most popular attractions. Guests had the opportunity to pour special solutions into the mixtures, causing them to bubble and fizz. The Key Club hosted a booth where children could use Play-Doh and various accessories to create their own miniature monsters, while the Environmental Club organized a makeshift bowling alley where participants could win candy by knocking down all the pins. “I worked at the Environmental Club booth, and it felt great seeing everyone who participated have fun with the booth I helped create. It was definitely one of the highlights of my night,” said 11th grader Adrian Ruiz. With so many clubs participating, it was clear that everyone put in lots of effort to make the evening enjoyable for the community. Another popular attraction was the face-painting booth, where guests of all ages could add creative makeup to their costumes and complete their Halloween looks.

As the evening continued, the Fusion Dance Team surprised guests with a series of spooky and entertaining performances. In the main square, the team danced under the moonlight as a large crowd gathered to watch the impressive routines they had prepared. “My best friend Luci performed in many of the routines, and I can say with full confidence that her and the rest of the Fusion girls’ hard work paid off because everyone was so enthusiastic to see the cool routines they prepared. They did an awesome job!” said 9th grader Claudia Lopez. Their performances quickly became one of the most memorable moments of the night. Following the show, guests were invited to join a massive dance party, allowing families and students to celebrate together, making the evening even more memorable.

As the night came to an end, candy buckets were filled, costumes were admired, and countless memories had been made. Ferguson Fright Night was more than just an evening of Halloween activities, it was an opportunity for students, families, and school clubs to come together and strengthen the sense of community that makes our school so special. The dedication and creativity of everyone involved transformed an ordinary school evening into an unforgettable celebration. Although the decorations had to eventually come down and the candy will be gone, the memories created throughout the night will remain. This year’s Fright Night was truly a success, leaving guests already looking forward to what next year’s celebration will bring!
