With blood-red spaghetti posing as guts in a bucket, a rubber hand on a makeshift operating table and strobe lights rapidly flashing, residents of Lincoln Tower prepared for the arrival of their special guests.About 100 children from the Columbus area trick-or-treated in the dorm Wednesday night. Lincoln Hall Council sponsored the event.Each floor was hauntingly decorated to spook the children, and residents passed out candy.”It was cool and fun, I wasn’t scared at all,” said Gerry Jones, a second-grader from St. Stephens, a local elementary school.But some children became too spooked and entered the dorm lounge in tears.”The one that scared me the most is the one that was holding his heart in his hand,” said Antwanette Carey, a fourth grader from Linmoor, another local school.Costumes ranged from football players to Bill Clintons, in addition to witches and prisoners.Eight floors of the tower were decorated to simulate a haunted house.On the 23rd floor, some residents carved a 118-pound pumpkin in the shape of President E. Gordon Gee’s face. A friend of one of the residents grew the pumpkin in his yard, he said.”We carved it in the shape of Gee’s head because he is leaving and we wanted him to come up here to see it,” said Cheryl Brennan, who helped carve the pumpkin. Gee did not show up to see the pumpkin.Candy, pizza and doughnuts were given to the children, most of it donated by area businesses.”I’m going to be in school tomorrow with a whole bunch of candy,” said Tremayne Johnson, an eighth-grader from Linmoor.Residents said they enjoyed decorating their floors. The children clearly had fun, said Jason Cervenec, a second-year student majoring in genetics who lives in Lincoln.”It was a great opportunity for Lincoln residents to demonstrate creativity and provide a safe environment for kids to trick-or-treat,” he said.
