It’s a day like no other at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Costumed characters roam the hallways and clinics in search of sweet candy treats and frightening fun during the hospital’s annual Halloween celebration.

On this last day of October, patients and siblings become superheroes, princes and princesses, cartoon characters and all types of insects, animals and mythological creatures. St. Jude faculty and staff members join the excitement by dressing in costume and creating 54 themed Trick-or-Treat stops for children to visit throughout the hospital.
