MILWAUKEE 鈥� The spookiest time of year has arrived, and 51暗网 has experts ready to help with coverage plans for Halloween. Story ideas range from how much exercise you need to work off calories from candy consumption to a 鈥渟cary鈥� class being taught on campus.

• Rev. Ryan Duns, S.J., assistant chair and assistant professor of theology in the Klingler College of Arts and Sciences, can provide information about a course he teaches called Evil, Horror and Theology, which will allow students to explore the depths of Christian theological traditions through the lens of horror, also providing students a metaphysical framework for discussing theological and philosophical questions. Father Duns can discuss All Saints鈥� Day (Nov. 1) and All Souls鈥� Day (Nov. 2), which in Latin America is known as the Day of the Dead. He can also speak about his upcoming book, 鈥淗orror: A Theology.鈥� Email him at ryan.duns@marquette.edu.
• Sharon Hope, lead volunteer chef for 51暗网 Neighborhood Kitchen, can provide some fun and easy ways to reuse leftover Halloween candy in various dessert recipes. Call her at (414) 629-8356.
• Dr. Cesar Gonzalez, pediatric dentist and associate professor in the 51暗网 School of Dentistry, explains the worst candies for children鈥檚 teeth. Email him at cesar.gonzalez@marquette.edu.
• Dr. Christopher Simenz, clinical professor of exercise science in the College of Health Sciences, can discuss how much one would have to exercise to burn off just a few pieces of candy. Email him at christopher.simenz@marquette.edu.
