The Graveyard Girl, the Screaming Room, and other ghastly specters from Joukkila are coming to life at Kerhis on the spookiest day of the year: Hallojen-ween!

So, throw on your most terrifying costume and come haunt Kerhis amidst the glow of bone-chilling lights and gruesome tunes, until the vibes transport you to the brink of the afterlife.

We’re serving up a horrifying amount of sima (mead) that’s truly out of this world, along with other wild treats.

You are welcome—and encouraged—to bring your own snacks and drinks.

No special preparation is needed, and you can come and go as you please during the event hours.

All TYS residents and their guests are warmly welcome, just as they are.

The event takes place from 3 PM to 11 PM at the legendary Student Village club room, Kerhis (address: Ylioppilaskylä 8D4, ground floor of the red building). Enter through the open green door on the courtyard side, along Keltanokka-polku, opposite the Tyyssija gym.
