‘Screen on the Green’ goes out with a scream

Marshall’s Campus Activities Board (CAB) is finishing up another year of “Screen on the Green” by showing “Hocus Pocus” Oct. 31 at 8 p.m.

For Halloween, it is a signature event for CAB to show “Hocus Pocus.”

There has always been a desire to bring the fun to campus in whichever creative ways we could come up with,” CAB president Alexandra Pfost said. “Movies are expensive, but it’s something college kids still enjoy going to. So, we thought, ‘Why not bring movies to campus for free?’”

The movies are chosen by CAB and students’ favorites through Twitter polls and other feedback.

Pfost said “Screen on the Green” brings students together to feel like they belong.

Although it will be the last movie of the semester, CAB will continue showing movies again in the spring.

We don’t do ‘Screen on the Green’ in the spring because it usually gets too cold, but we do ‘Marshall at the Movies’ instead,” Pfost said. “We hand out free movie tickets to students who can then go and see that particular screening at the Pullman Square movie theater.”

All “Screen on the Green” events also include free popcorn. “Hocus Pocus” will be shown on the field by Harless Dining Hall, and students are encouraged to bring a blanket or a lawn chair.
