The scariest things Cardiff students will face this Halloween

Halloween at Cardiff University is more than just a celebration—it’s a rite of passage filled with chaos, costume malfunctions, and Cathays surprises.

Here’s a rundown of the spookiest things every Cardiff student will encounter this Halloween.

The student house party gone wrong

Your housemate’s “small gathering” has escalated into a full-blown Halloween bash.

The place is packed with zombies, vampires, and multiple Wednesday Addams lookalikes. The queue for the bathroom stretches down the stairs, fake blood stains the carpet, and you just received a text from your landlord saying they’ll be around for an inspection tomorrow.

Terrifying.

The Cardiff SU Halloween night terror

The scariest part of Halloween at the SU isn’t the costumes, but the chaos.

You’re trying to keep your group together while dressed as the Scooby-Doo gang, but Shaggy’s wig is slipping, Velma’s lost her glasses, and Fred has disappeared into the crowd. Meanwhile, the DJ insists on playing Monster Mash on repeat.

The Cathays costume emergency

It’s Halloween night, and your costume plan is falling apart. Tiger has sold out of fake blood, your DIY costume failed, and you’re left contemplating a bedsheet ghost look.

The horror escalates when you realise half of Cardiff also chose a last-minute Amazon Prime outfit.

The aftermath

November 1st brings the true terror—waking up still covered in face paint, with pumpkin seeds in strange places around the flat.

Worse, you’ve got five missed calls from your mum about your Instagram stories, and a 9am lecture waiting in the Glamorgan Building.

The society social haunting

Your society’s Halloween social seemed like a great idea, until you’re responsible for herding 50 costumed sports students through Cardiff’s nightlife.

The committee group chat is blowing up with crisis updates, and someone’s lost the society mascot between Woody’s and Live Lounge.

The YOLO queue horror

Yoloween at Cardiff SU is infamous for its backed-up queues.

Even if you arrive early, you’re likely to wait ages in costume, with the suspense building as you inch closer to the entrance. If you’re lucky enough to get in, you’ll brave yet another queue for the bar.

The Cathays wildlife surprise

Halloween nights in Cathays come with their own set of creatures. Rats scurry through alleyways, mystery animals lurk near bins, and sometimes you’ll even spot bats.

It’s this kind of wildlife that gives Cathays an eerie edge.

The mystery flatmate disappearance

You all started Halloween night together, but come midnight, half the flat has gone AWOL. Calls go straight to voicemail, and you’re left piecing together where they’ve disappeared.

It’s the classic Halloween thriller mystery—Cardiff edition.

The mysterious stains in the kitchen

After the Halloween festivities, you discover unexplained stains and spills around the kitchen. Fake blood, spilt drinks, and an array of mysterious leftovers make the cleanup as frightening as any horror story.

This Halloween, Cardiff students are set for more than just costume parties. With these spooky scenarios ahead, there’s no need for ghost stories, Cardiff’s Halloween horrors are all too real.
