ANWEN PARROTT

On Tuesday, The Daily Illini published a racist syndicated cartoon. When this cartoon was created and distributed across the U.S., its impact was pervasive and insidious. The lives of Latinx immigrants were diminished and the factors spurring their migration - along with their unique struggles, successes and resilience - were torn from the picture. A large portion of our campus community was understandably outraged.

On a whole, however, the accusations and interrogations have started and ended with The DI staff â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and that bothers me. In this instance, the cartoon was part of the problem, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x153;the problem.â&#x20AC;?

Just examine student responses: though the cartoon was viewed as a racist aggression by many, it was laughed at by others. Students who publicly expressed their outrage at its publication were too often met with suggestions to â&#x20AC;&#x153;chill outâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;learn to take a joke.â&#x20AC;? These responses worry me, as they guarantee that this sort of aggression, whether purposeful or accidental, will happen again somewhere else on our campus.

Most university publications are put together by students. If we exist within a campus environment that is not only unaware and insensitive towards the experiences of minority populations but that views their struggle as a joke, then dehumanizing commentary will persist.

And it will persist because we allow it to.

We live and learn at a university where ethnic studies departments are shrinking and undervalued, where a racist ex-mascot is still celebrated, where studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; diversity training is limited to one (short) workshop. This happens because we allow it to happen, and this will begin to change when we learn to value the perspectives and experiences of minority students.

The Daily Illini should not have published the racist cartoon. But we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ignore all other factors at play; as students and community members, we have a responsibility to listen to the individuals who are upset by it, to take their voices seriously and to learn from them. If we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that, we are the bigger problem.

DIA DE LOS MUERTOS: A DAY TO CELEBRATE, NOT FEAR, THE DEAD

BY SHANNON JAMESON Halloween festivities may mean dressing up to watch scary movies and ring doorbells for pounds of free candy, but in Mexican culture, the holiday has a deep, spiritual meaning. Dia de los Muertos (or the Day of the Dead) is an important Mexican holiday that gathers friends and family to celebrate the dead and support their spiritual journey. Many times families gather on the graves of their lost family members with food and drinks in order to honor their past lives.

La Casa Cultural Latina and Spurlock Museum will both be hosting events on Nov. 1 to celebrate this ancient holiday. La Casa Cultural Latina will be holding a week-long program, consisting of workshops leading up to the main celebration this Sunday evening, Nov. 1. Workshops include sugar skull, papel picado, altar and Figuras de Barro making. The main celebration will include hot chocolate, sugar skull decorating and a viewing of the altars made by different registered student organizations on campus.

»AARON SORKIN After growing up watching "The West Wing" and rewatching the series last year, I could easily say Aaron Sorkin is one of my favorite writers of all time - be it literary, music, or screenwriting.

But I finally started watching "The Newsroom" and it's sort of difficult to comprehend how a writer can consistently be so smart and personable, while also telling such great stories episode after episode, year after year, and series after series.

DISCOVER M O R E!

Czarnina: Elixir of Count Duckula Ever found yourself interested in the blood of other animals but didn’t want to tell anyone about your secret desire? Look no further than the Polish duck blood soup, Czarnina (char-NEE-na). This traditional dish uses the entire duck: heart, neck, feet and all. It is also loaded with dried fruits like apples, prunes and cherries .This soup is rich in flavor, faintly sweet and sour with mineral-rich notes (from all the iron in the blood!). Just remember that if you decide to make the autumnal dish yourself, be sure to add vinegar to prevent coagulation of the blood.

- Valentina Witkowski Cow Hearts: An Utter Disaster Once while on a trip to Peru, the group I was with went to a restaurant popular among locals for its meat. Instead of ordering individual dishes, we got several huge platters of meat brought to our table and had a free-for-all. Without taking the time to figure out what was what, I just grabbed a couple pieces of meat that looked good and chowed down. Only after I had finished my food did I hear that the diverse selection of meats served at our table had, unbeknownst to most of us, included cow heart—not something I wanted to hear with an empty plate sitting in front of me.

– Madeline Decker Chicken Feet Dim Sum: A Fowl Surprise The scariest food I have ever eaten was chicken feet, which is a Chinese dim sum dish. As the name suggests, it was a plate full of sauce-covered chicken feet. I was very nervous to try it, but my uncle encouraged me to go out of my comfort zone and experience new things, so I gathered some courage and took a bite. When eating the chicken feet, I did not actually eat the bone but rather ate around it. The flavors in the sauce and the chicken itself were enjoyable. The texture, however, caught me by surprise. It was very gelatinous and chewy; I was not the biggest fan of that. In the end, it’s still worth trying.

– Nisha Choksi

Wasabi Peas: No Thanks Peas!

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I think wasabi peas are very scary looking. My dad likes to eat them, and every time I see him eating them, I think they belong with Halloween and scary things.

The combination of the green and brown is reminiscent of some mummy-monster combo. To top it all off, they are round but not perfectly round.

Therefore, they kind of look like misshaped greenbrown eyeballs.

– Sarah McCabe Deviled Eggs: A Classic Scare If there is one dish I distinctly remember being served every Halloween, it would be deviled eggs.

Usually set out to replicate an eyeball, deviled eggs are, hands down, the scariest food of the Halloween season. The dining halls here at the University Of Illinois annually serve these eggs during Halloween, and while they do look spooky, I must admit that they taste divine. These eggs, sliced in half, are infused with flavored yolk and topped with a sliced black olive to resemble eyeballs. My favorite seasoning is a combination of salt, pepper and a pinch of red pepper flakes to give it an extra kick.

– Rebecca Kurien FrankenFrap: A Frightening New Find Step aside Pumpkin Spiced Latte, there’s a new drink in town. Usually around Halloween, Starbucks unveils its Halloween themed Frappuccino: the Franken Frappuccino. Although popular around this spooky holiday, the Franken Frappuccino can be enjoyed anytime throughout the year.

Starbucks, located on campus in three different locations, creates this ghostly looking Frappuccino with matcha green tea powder, java chips, mocha sauce and peppermint syrup. Nothing else will put you in the mood for dressing up and celebrating Halloween more than this tasty refreshment from Starbucks. I highly recommend trying this delicious treat at least once. With a peppermint chocolate taste, there is nothing like it!

ONE

Halloween tradition goes beyond watching and listening to scary stories and puts you directly into your own: a haunted house. Most haunted house veterans are accustomed to the generic jump scares, makeup and costumes of the participating actors. So much so that the scene has become somewhat redundant and cliché. Yet, there is one ghoulish haunt that dares to stand apart: The Baldwin Asylum in Rantoul, Ill. Taken behind the scenes by Marc Dam, the creator and operator of Baldwin Asylum, I was given the unique opportunity to experience this labyrinth of monstrous horror up close. Before entering the ominous unknown, a projector played a short film featuring a witch and her young daughter, explaining the story behind the existence of the fictional asylum. The two were abducted by neighboring townspeople and thrown into Baldwin Asylum, where the mother was later executed and the daughter held as a patient.

Jason Thorn, Dam’s partner in terror, hit the lights as we began our journey, and darkness immediately enveloped my entire being. The scene was set, and I made my way into the first room, where Dam and Thorn took their time reenacting and explaining what unsuspecting patrons experience as they make their way through the maze of the haunt.

As we moved from room-to-room, I was rendered defenseless by the petrifying senses. Each compartment included a host of sensory aides, such as unforgiving darkness, disorienting fog, strobe lights and artificial stenches, including rotting flesh and urine. A haunt wouldn’t be remotely scary without the classic tactics such as disturbing music, loud clanking and confined spaces. This total overbearingness of stimuli im-

mediately separated Baldwin Asylum from that of any other haunted house as I was completely immersed in this disturbing imaginary world.

After a heart-stopping, 20-minute tour, I was more than relieved to return to fresh air, leaving the sinister asylum behind me until I entered the second surprise asylum, creating a full 45-minute, terrifying experience.

After the horrifying, yet exciting, experience, it dawned on me that I didn’t see the typical room at most haunts: the clown room. I later found out that this is because, while clowns are classic haunting characters, they do not fit in with the Baldwin Asylum story. As Dam explained, each room in the haunt is there for a reason that makes sense with the original creation story of Baldwin Asylum.

Although the sights, sounds, smells and surprises all serve their purpose in bombarding each patron, the reason Baldwin Asylum is so successful in their field is due to the staff’s unmatched passion and love for effective, quality horror. Volunteers swarm from places as near as Rantoul and Champaign to places as far as Paxton and Danville for a chance to act in the show as various devilish characters.

“They have 365 days worth of pent up angst, and they only get 17 days out of the year to unleash it,” said Thorn.

These 35-to-40-some volunteers are dedicated to the spirit of Halloween in a way that is not easily matched; many arrive for hair and makeup as early as 4 p.m. for a 7 p.m. show. Dam and Thorn have put incredible effort into creating lifelike, intricate aesthetics for these volunteers, looking up actual pictures of dismembered

corpses to replicate the details exactly.

Still, it’s not just the actors that have been given special attention, but the set itself. This accuracy in scene creation is due to Dam and Thorn’s day jobs. The two men work for Taylor Studios, where they design and build museum exhibition pieces.

Each Halloween season, they place the Baldwin Asylum in a deceivingly small corner of the Taylor Studios building. Paired with Dam’s prior education in special effects makeup, this makes for an unparalleled perfection in the set’s features, speaking to, yet again, the staffs dedication.

“Jason and I have thousands of hours [put] in this thing,” said Dam. From beginning to end, the asylum takes a total of 45 minutes to an hour to complete, a chunk of time that can only be referred to as dizzyingly horrifying. People flock from as far as the western Chicago suburbs, such as Aurora and Oswego, just to experience the sheer terror that Baldwin Asylum promises.

Although Baldwin Asylum is by far the most ruthless haunted house I have ever personally experienced, it became blatantly apparent that this group of individuals are equally compassionate as they are terrifying. Dam strives to maintain a communal air about the actors.

“We’re a haunt family. We said we weren’t gonna be a make it or break it kind of deal,” Dam said.

This rings true to Megan Koester, an outstanding SFX makeup artist that works with Baldwin Asylum who captioned a group photo of the Baldwin Asylum team, “Movie night with the Baldwin Asylum family. Love them to death and miss them. We live and breathe Halloween.”

This group of twisted horror junkies is just as

dedicated to their scare tactics as they are to each other, creating an environment that allows for quality terror to grow and develop.

And developed it has, as Baldwin Asylum was ranked one of the Top 10 Haunts by Haunted Illinois in 2014, only their second year operating.

As if this ranking weren’t warning enough of the asylum’s horrors, Dam and Thorn have made sure to give the public sneak previews through a video posted to their website, posters, as well as an age restriction of 13 years old. In this way, Baldwin Asylum can be sure to say, “I told you so,” when eager customers are left cowering in fear or running for the hills, something that is not uncommon, according to Thorn.

“We’ve had half a dozen confirmed pissers. We’ve had someone defecate themselves,” Thorn said.

With around 17 exits for both emergencies and the faint of hearted, Baldwin Asylum plays no games.

Open from 7 p.m. until 11 p.m. on Thursdays and 7 p.m. until 12 a.m. on weekends, haunted house enthusiasts can experience this horror-laden maze for only $15, and it is well worth every penny.

Baldwin Asylum does not merely startle the sight with cheap jump-scares, but rather smothers the senses entirely in a disturbingly realistic world of pure sadism. Working together as a team of horrorobsessed fiends, this group of actors will be sure to awaken and bring to life your worst nightmares.

I’d suggest listening to Thorn when he tells you, “Bring a change of pants, because there’s nothing within 100 miles or more that’s like this. I guarantee it.”

OUR FAVORITE SCARY MOVIES

WITH

Halloween being this week, the buzz Movies and TV staff decided to talk about what their favorite scary movies are.

It Follows A lot can be written about It Follows, an undeniable modern horror classic, from whether it’s a statement on the contrast between the expectations, and reality of adolescent sex to the inevitability of time passing by, and death. At the core of the film, though, is a sense of the impending. That hesitation that makes you look over your shoulder at night when you’re walking home late, or compels you to double-check if you locked your doors and windows.

The horror of this film isn’t in roaring saws being thrown around or buckets of blood. It’s in the mind.

What keeps you up at night? What are you terrified of catching up to you? The ability to take fear beyond the momentary shock and surprise to an underlying current that follows your every thought, your every move is brilliant. And once you see the film, you’ll realize it’s also highly effective. As a bonus, the film is visually gripping. Even as you see constant terror and fear in the characters’ faces, you can’t help but notice the excellent lighting and framing. On the surface, it may seem a simple film, but the paranoia it induces grows into a creature of its own.

-Keerthana Hogirala The Ring One of my favorite scary movies of all time has to be the 2002 horror film The Ring. The overall syn-

6 buzz October 30-November 5, 2015

opsis is something you really wouldn’t expect, and even though it’s an older movie, I bet you that after watching you’ll never look at your TV the same way again. And why is that, you ask? Mainly because this movie revolves around an urban legend of a scary videotape that kills the viewer after seven days of watching it. The scariest character is an 8-year-old girl called Samara, who drowned in a well near her home and survived for seven days.

Now, she goes around haunting those who watch the tape and literally coming out of the well and through their TVs to kill them. It differs from the scary movies we have nowadays, because it actually has a plot, and it’s not all about the blood and gore. This movie has a more heavy reliance on dread and visuals and even won both an MTV movie award and a Teen Choice award. So if by any chance you haven’t seen it yet and are looking for a movie that will actually scare you, then I’d say give it a try. Trust me, I couldn’t go to sleep for weeks!

-Estefania Florez Scream Halloween wouldn’t be right without a slasher film, and one of my favorites is Wes Craven’s Scream. This film is perfect because of its characters’ self-awareness and because the violence is defused by the ironic way the film uses and comments on it. The characters often break the fourth wall in the film; the main reason is because they are actually knowledgeable about the movies, making them aware they’re

inside a horror film. And because they’ve seen so many horror films, they know what to do and what not to do. One kid advises a friend to never say, “I’ll be right back, because whenever anybody says that, he’s never right back.”

The film starts out in high school student Casey Becker’s (played by Drew Barrymore) house when she receives a flirtatious phone call from an unknown caller. The caller asks her, “What’s your favorite scary movie?” and the situation escalates quickly as she realizes the caller is threatening her life. When she refuses to cooperate, she is attacked and murdered by a masked killer. Suddenly no one is safe as the film just killed its biggest star.

Anybody could be next, including Sidney Prescott (played by Neve Campbell), the pretty and quiet high school girl with an ugly past, or even her boyfriend Billy Loomis (played by Skeet Ulrich), who has a frustrated sex life. The film includes other great actors such as David Arquette, Henry Winkler, Courteney Cox and Rose McGowan.

Scream is not about the plot but rather about itself, because the characters know they are in the midst of a slasher plot. They use movie-style dialogue and point out that only the bad boys and girls get slashed to pieces, so the virgins and non-drinkers are safe. With the film’s references to Wes Craven’s Freddie Kreuger from Halloween as well as other horror films, this film should definitely be on your Halloween movie watch list.

-Atoosa Sayeh

The Orphanage The creator of The Orphanage is Guillermo Del Toro, a respected Mexican film director, screenwriter, producer and novelist. Del Toro is a prolific producer. His works include successful films such as The Orphanage (2007), Julia’s Eyes (2010), Biutiful (2010) and Mama (2013).

The Orphanage, to me, is the best one he has produced, and it won multiple awards. The film centers on Laura, who returns to her childhood home, an orphanage. Laura plans to turn the house into an orphanage for disabled children, but an issues arises when she and Carlos realize that Simón, their son, believes he has a masked friend named Tomás with whom he will run away. After an argument with Laura, Simón is found to be missing. From there, the movie is spent trying to find Simon, and along the way, many unique horror scenes take place. An ending has to be one of the strongest parts of a movie. The Orphanage ends in an unexpected way, and when this happens, it looks great, but it’s extremely tough to do. Del Toro, however, managed to do it in an effective, unique way. If you haven’t watched this great film, you should definitely take a moment to watch it. Your time will be well spent.

A LITTLE SPOOKY NIGHT MUSIC 2XU IDYRULWH KRUURU PRYLH VFRUHV BUZZ MUSIC STAFF

TO

get in the Halloween spirit, the buzz music staff revisted some of their favorite horror movies of all time and examined the phenomenal scores that make them so memorable.

Halloween (1978) John Carpenter’s Halloween manages to have one of the most iconic theme songs in horror movie history despite using just a few pitches on a cheesy 70s synthesizer. The simplicity of the song perfectly accompanies the small-town story following Michael Myers. After stabbing his sister as a young boy he’s put in a sanitarium, where he remains for 15 years. Hours before 21-year-old Myers is to be taken to a hearing to decide his future incarceration, he escapes the minimum-security institution and drives back to his hometown to seek his revenge on October 30. The movie then documents the events of Halloween night, when Myers terrorizes babysitter Laurie, 8-year-old Tommy and their neighbors.

Halloween is undoubtedly one of the most classic, chilling horror movies out there, but without the musical genius of Carpenter, the movie would not be nearly as frightening. I watched an edit of this movie where the music had been removed, and it was actually pretty comedic. Myers lurking in the background was no longer alarming but kind of just awkward and sad. Disturbing scenes became boring, such as the ones where Michael is driving around in his car stalking Tommy and Laurie.

Before a murder occurs, Carpenter often layers two high-pitched synth sounds a minor second apart to create dissonance and suspension. This definitely works to his advantage, as the scenes

leading up to the violent murders of Michael Myers tend to be somewhat mind numbing. The jarring music makes it impossible for viewers to tune out what’s happening onscreen. On the other hand, when Myers finally makes his move, a single, loud, low-pitched synth sound is used to symbolize the terror. As his victims lose their lives, the pitch fades out until you can only hear Myers’ petrifying breathing through his definitive white mask, ready to take on his next target.

- Anika Nims The Shining (1980) If you’ve never watched The Shining, then you really haven’t lived. On top of being based off of the Stephen King novel, this movie is a cinematic marvel and is not only one of my favorite horror films, but one of my favorite films of all time. I probably watched this movie at too young of an age and got a little mentally scarred by it, but maybe that’s why I have such a soft spot for it. Without giving too much away: you’ll never look at a typewriter the same way after this. Not for the faint of heart but worth screaming at the top of your lungs and peeking above your blankets to watch.

One of the many things that makes this movie so intense and amazing is the score. Rather than using an intense orchestra and the typical keepyou-on-the-edge-of-your-seat method the entire time, The Shining goes for a more subtle take on scary, focusing on intermittent, minor chords and almost Jaws-like tactics. With the film being what many call a psychological thriller, the soundtrack utilizes whistles, pots, spoken word, voices in the head and more to create a horrific masterpiece.

Intermittently injected with violins like nails on a

chalkboard and percussion pieces that make your stomach drop to the floor, the soundtrack plays very well with silence or almost-silence to freak out the audience even further. A hallmark of the movie is the flashbacks within the hotel, which go along with their own trademark music, which was also manipulated from a 1920s upbeat sound to minor chords that you will lose sleep over.

Kubrick used music taken from lesser known modern composers and essentially set a standard for horror soundtracks in the future. The music used in the film was not intended to inspire terror, but the shrieking violins and frantic nature fit the intense feeling King and Kubrick were going for, especially in their abstract and minor forms.

All of the musical pieces used in the film has the foreboding factor down perfectly and even without the visual, easily evoke the horror and even whimsical nature of the film. - Lizzie Porter It Follows (2014) Horror movies often overestimate the importance of a good score - that is, they rely too heavily on musical cues for scares. While it’s true that music is a vital component for establishing atmosphere, it’s used sometimes as a crutch - when the scares aren’t big or interesting enough, a loud, unsettling score will put it over the top. But horror movies underestimate the power of music, too, through this overreliance.

"Buffy The Vampire Slayer"’s landmark episode “The Body” is completely devoid of music or any off-screen sound. While not horror, the episode deals with the sudden death of a loved one, and the lack of music contributes to the helplessness felt in the wake of grief. Musical cues tell us what

to feel and when to feel it - as the music builds in a horror movie, we know to be scared. When the music is somber, we know that we should feel sad. When music is removed from the equation, we have nothing to guide us. Without these cues, the audience is forced to be fully immersed in the experience and filter the scene through a personal level.

Most horror films never reach total silence, but some like It Follows still value simplicity and thrive in the quieter moments. Scored by Disasterpeace, the film’s score is relatively minimal, harkening back to the synth-heavy works of John Carpenter. Disasterpeace’s score is most noticeable when nothing frightening is happening, particularly during traveling scenes or when our protagonist prepares for her date. The use of music in these scenes creates a subtly unsettling atmosphere even when nothing is happening.

Although there are moments where the score uses loud screeching noises to heighten a scare, Disasterpeace makes use of the low, sometimes almost inaudible lower range of the synths to the point where the score is nothing but a slow, throbbing beat. These quieter moments, which force our attention completely on what’s happening on screen rather than what we’re hearing, do just as much to heighten the tension.

In horror, less is truly more when it comes to establishing atmosphere. While It Follows never completely gives itself over to minimalism, the quieter moments underscore the tension perfectly and establish a genuinely unsettling atmosphere throughout, all while drawing from some of the greatest horror scores of the 70s and 80s.

For fans of the latter, The Freak Show Field of Fears and The Haunt at Bonesaw Mill are here to please.

“They set each other up in a different way,” said Johnny Namoff from the location. “We send most people through the first one, and when they’re done, they’re kind of like ‘Okay, we made it half way,’ not realizing what they’re in for in the second part. So, they let their guard down halfway, and they don’t realize what they’re getting themselves into in the second half.”

Voted the Most Intense Haunted House in Central Illinois, there used to be only one haunt at this location before. As the story goes, a journal by Galen Strode (a missing ghost hunter) appeared at what is now known as The Haunt at Bonesaw Mill. The Freak Show Field of Fears is its own kind of scary, interlacing insane clowns and “a cannibal circus from hell,” as the site claims. Though different in presentation—one is a mill from nightmares and the other clown hell—Namoff says it’s the realness associated with both places that leaves guests stirred up.

“The reality of, first of all, the Bonesaw Mill part of it, which was set up in an old mill yard [scares people],” said Namoff. “A lot of the props are from the old mill yard, making it very authentic. In the Freak Show, all I can say is you will see there’s a

lot of reality. We have a lot of people that say ‘holy shit’ and say that [there are] holy shit moments, meaning that what they saw is what they saw. I don’t like to divulge too much of it, because I don’t like people to expect what they may see.”

The scenery may be overall startling, but Namoff says it is the actors involved that bring this fright to life.

“The actors are what make the haunt,” Namoff said. “I have 75 actors there, ages from 10 years old to 60 years old, every size you can imagine from 10-year-old size to someone that’s six feet six inches and 450 pounds. “ Together the actors and scenery work to paint an image only seen in horror films. Whether a few spiders crawling around or flickering lights give you the chills, Namoff says this haunt works to find what scares folks the most and bring it to life.

“There are a variety of different scares, and you get all of them,” said Namoff. “There’s something there for everybody. Someone might be afraid of traditional clowns. You’re going to get that. You’re going to get the clown effect; you’re going to get the gore effect. There are different sounds in the haunt that have nothing to do [with the scene].

Someone banging on the cabinets isn’t that scary, but when there’s a zombie in a dark place, and all of sudden the lights flash on you, you’re scared.”

To raise hairs even more, Namoff says he has

personally seen the haunt get the worst of guests not expecting what the location has to offer.

“There was a sorority that came from Bloomington, and four girls out of 40 decided not to go,” said Namoff. “I told them that I’d go with them and we’ll go on the outside one. One hundred feet in, I lost one of the girls, and she turned, and all I could see was her running and screaming. In another 100 feet, I lost a second one. Running backwards, they were passing up the same scares they got scared of, so it was sort of amusing. By the time I got done, I was all by myself. All four girls just took off on me in different directions.”

With wheelchair accessibility offered to guests, this haunt works to scare any and every one daring enough to enter. Namoff says that’s kind of the goal.

“You get the uncomfortable scare,” said Namoff.

“You get the startled scare. That’s what this haunted house is all about. We try to scare everyone. There are people that go that can’t make it in the door and turn around and walk away. We have fun scaring people, I’ll just say that.”

Field of Fears and The Haunt at Bonesaw Mill are open October 29 from 7-10 p.m. and Oct. 30-31 until midnight. Tickets can be purchased online at www. freakshowillinois.com
