Early in Halloween morning, students arrived to the campus to decorate the stage with pumpkins engraved with ghost faces, huge deadly spiders, and coffins creating a scary and mysterious setting. Students desired to demonstrate their talent, making the night a colorful and magnificent event. SIU alumnus Pham Ngoc Hoang began the festival with the song “Broken Moon.” It was warmly received, getting big rounds of applause.

A joyful and colorful performance of “Journey to SIU” triggered laughter from the audience. This was attractively adopted from the famous Chinese work “Journey to the West” with many historical characters like the mandarin Bao Gong, the bodyguard Zhan Zhao, the secretary Gongsun Ce, the monk Xuanzang, the monkey Sun Wukong, the pig Zhu Bajie and the buffalo Sha Wujing, etc. The applause and cheers from the audience made the Halloween atmosphere charming.
