Halloween is just a hop, skip ‘n’ a jack-o-lantern away, and
you know what that means! It’s time to deck the halls with ghosts ‘n’ spiders,
go wild for your favorite sweet treats and get your spook on. Here are 31 ways
to rock the creepiest time of the year.
Dress up with your friends in your best zombie attire.
Zombie-walk around your neighborhood while it’s still light out to show off
your undead skills.
Scream with a group (and your crush) at a haunted house.
When a ghost pops out, we know whose arm you’ll be grabbing.
Host a spooky salon to practice your best Halloween
manis. Give this look a try.
You’ve heard of lemonade stands; set up a hot chocolate
stand in your neighborhood for trick-or-treaters and their parents.
Go glitter crazy with mini pumpkins and hand them out to
your friends.
Star in your own horror flick. Bring your besties and search
for spooky places to film around your neighborhood.
Halloween dance sesh! All you need is the “Monster Mash” and
your BFF.
Decorate pillow cases or festive pumpkin-shaped pails with
your pals. They’re perfect for carting around your Halloween loot…or snoozin’
at a sleepover the weekend before the big day.
Get the gang together for a scary movie marathon. Load up on popcorn and snap off the lights!
Hit the farm for apple picking with your besties. Dip your
picks in caramel and douse in orange sprinkles for a deliciously festive treat.
Create a creepy scarecrow with vampire teeth and monster
feet.
Channel your inner J.K Rowling and write a Halloween story.
Witches, wizards and ghosts, oh my!
Trick or treat for a cause for UNICEF. Click here to find out how.
Grab glow sticks and tour the neighborhood to see which
houses have the best decorations.
Wait ‘til it gets dark and play flashlight tag or hide-‘n’-seek
in your backyard.
Don’t toss those pumpkin pieces! Bake a pumpkin pie from
scratch and serve with extra whipped cream.
Go on a hayride. Creepy ghoulies are optional but your girlies
are definitely required.
Dress up and hand out candy to younger kids so you can see
all the cute costumes.
Use your imagination to create a creepy feel box to use on
trick-or-treaters. Use spaghetti for worms, baby carrots for fingers and peeled
tomatoes for hearts. Eyes closed!
Host a costume contest. Have your buds vote for their faves
and hand out candy prizes.
Get creative with a creepy craft from our Spindlers list.
Hide under the covers and read a spooky thriller.
Pumpkin carving! Get elbow-deep in orange guts and see who
can carve the spookiest faces.
Experiment with Halloween makeup. Try Vanessa Hudgens’ wicked cat eye.
You’ve mastered them during the day, now take on a corn
field at night. Bring your buds and a flashlight, and keep an eye out for creepy
creatures in the twists and turns.
Throw a Halloween party. You’ll need decorations, spooky
music, scary movies and lots of munchies!
Spook your neighbors by turning your home into the scariest
house on the block. Bats and spider webs are a must. Click here for ideas.
Have a bake-off! Bake cupcakes and see who can come up with
the creepiest (and yummiest) decorations.
Take a ghost tour. You might need a hand to hold for this
one…
Paper mache a Halloween-themed piñata. Fill it with candy
and smash it open…in costume, of course!
Put on your best costume and go trick or treating like old
times. Free candy? Yes please!
