I’m planning a scary movie night as a way for residents to relax, socialize, and build community in a fun, low stress setting. The goal is to give everyone a chance to take a break from academics while connecting with peers over a shared experience. The event will start with residents grabbing snacks like popcorn, candy, and drinks as they arrive, creating a casual, welcoming atmosphere. Before the movie begins, I’ll invite everyone to vote on a film from a short list of scary-but-fun options, so they feel included in shaping the experience. Once the movie starts, the lights will dim, and residents can settle in to enjoy the film together in a safe, comfortable space. Afterward, I’ll encourage casual conversation about the movie, favorite scary films, and other Halloween traditions, sparking natural bonding.
