Themed frat parties not doing it for you? Halloween may be more than a week away, but for costume lovers, it's never too early to take the plunge. This Saturday, head down in costume to the Peoplehood Parade and Pageant, the annual celebration hosted by the Spiral Q Puppet Theatre and Living Loft Puppet Museum, an organization that aims to bring together Philadelphia neighborhoods through large-scale puppet parades. Enjoy this organization's interesting mission with a playful parade starting at the Paul Robeson House. Don't worry Whartonites: there is competition involved! Once the parade is finished, fulfill that competitive urge by entering the costume pageant at 2:30. Even if you just want to observe, you could be inspired with costume ideas beyond a sexy nurse/school girl/cop/etc.

Hey there, Mr. Grumpy Gills. When life gets you down do you know what you've gotta do? That's right, you've gotta go to Finding Nemo on ice. The magic of our favorite life-size Disney characters gliding along ice - is there a better way to pull yourself out of that mid-semester slump? So, remember the blissful innocence of your childhood, join lovable characters like Dory and Nemo, and raise a little money for a good cause. No midterm, paper, or class is nearly as stressful as uber-neurotic clown-fish Marlin's journey to find his adorable son, Nemo. Want to be even more relaxed? Try speaking "whale."

Brainless zombies, hamsters from hell, a house full of VERY scary dolls, a zombie western with zombie cowboys. yup, it's that time of year again. What better way to kick-off the season than with the Terror Film Festival? Ladies, once you're done picking out the smallest Pocahontas outfit you can find, and gentlemen, after you've picked out a costume somehow "involving" a sword, go and get into the spirit of things. Boasting frightening flicks such as Plane Dead (it's Snakes on a Plane, but with zombies!) and Werewolf in a Women's Prison, the Terror Film Festival is the perfect event for horror lovers. And the official watering hole is Oh Shea's (19th and Sansom). where all TFFers get happy hour prices all day and night. Seems like quite the deal, especially since you will probably need a stiff drink to lull your frightened self to sleep!
