Some tricks, some treats and a frightening amount of fun are on the way with this festive array of Halloween-themed events on campus.
A Halloween Extravaganza for kids

Taylor Hall’s annual haunted house
Residents of Taylor Hall are hosting the university’s annual haunted house this weekend in what has become a longstanding student tradition of spooky fun.
Students from across campus have planned and constructed a temporary facility inside the Fieldhouse, with each room carefully designed around scary twists and horrifying turns. Guided tours offer a tamer experience for younger children.
Thrill-seekers can get their kicks from 8 p.m. to midnight Friday, Oct. 28, through Monday, Oct. 31, in the NAU Fieldhouse. Admission is free for NAU students and children ages 6 and younger. Non-students will pay $4.
