My school's halloween festival for 2012 I attend QSI Chengdu International School in China, and fall festival is a celebrated annual tradition, an offshoot of Halloween for the multicultural society at our school. Fall festival is one of the most anticipated celebrations of the year for parents and students alike. The pictures included are from the elementary celebration and the high school dance.

2. 
Tyler and Iris preparing their zombie makeup before their costume
debut at the Fall Festival. Preparation is taking place in the secondary
art room.

3. 
Cindy donning her
bloody Little Red Riding
Hood costume. She took
her dress from the year
before and ripped it
up/bloodied it,
assuming the role of a
severely abused
rendition of the classic
fairytale

4. Pre-festival Prep
Taylor and Emy half done with their scary/gory makeup for their costume. Taylor,
is touching up her deranged clown face makeup, while Emy catches glimpse of her
own post-teacher-rage-corpse-student getup. Take notice of the ruler lodged in her
forehead and the broken pencils penetrating her neck.

5. Prep Party
Everybody is engrossed in their own makeup
and preparation. On the table are piles of face
paint and makeup supplies, all displayed for
public use.

6. Zipper Face!
Iris is finished with her amazing
zipper-face makeup. The zipper
that she’s attached to her face with
eyelash-paste unveils the bloody
raw flesh beneath her skin.

7. VooDoo Markings
Etching tattoos (just kidding, just eyeliner) onto the back of Caragh, who’s going as
a Voodoo witch. She plans to scare the life out of little kids on the haunted drive
which she is working in later on.

8. Spider Eyes
Beautiful Olivia dresses up as
Arachnid-Girl and wears simple
makeup with cobwebs extending
from her eyes. Preparation takes
place in the bathroom, after being
locked out of the art room.

9. Skull
Austin rocks some hardcore skull
makeup (which involved lots of
white and black cream makeup)
before going off to scare some little
kids.

10. Sugar Skull
Personal makeup finished. Inspired
by the sugar skull makeup done
during Day of the Dead in Mexico.
A combination of face paint,
eyeliner, and concealer stick

11. Thriller Crowd
An audience of parents and students gather around the classic Thriller dance
performance presented by some very talented elementary dancers

12. There’s the
talented bunch!

13. Brave
Gemma dresses up as the main character of the animation Brave, her red hair
perfectly compatible with that of the character’s

14. The Macho Nachos
Not much else to say. Kudos to the artists for the Scooby-Doo photo background!

Just for laughs. Note: The container of
nachos in the hand of the Nacho to the

the right

On the way to hail a

sending their good
nights.
A wonderful Fall
Festival 2012!
