University of Houston-Downtown staff got festive Friday, as they donned creative Halloween costumes and strolled through the booths at the office of Employment Services and Opeartions (ESO) Annual Work/Life Thriller. This year's event was the largest ever, with more than 250 attendees.

Staff members visited vendor booths to collect information about employment benefits and to qualify for raffle entries for prizes such as a flat-screen TV, a tablet computer and several restaurant gift cards.
