Halloween isn’t just about trick or treating. The whole month of October can be utilized to celebrate the scariest holiday of the year. Here are some fun ideas to get you and your family in the Halloween Spirit.
Dreadful Decorations: There is no other time of the year when it is socially acceptable for you to put up spider webs, skeletons and tombstones around your house. So why not take full advantage and dress up your home like a haunted house. Halloween stores have some of the scariest looking set pieces out there. A less expensive alternative would be to visit your local dollar store and stock up on decorations from there. If you don’t want to be too elaborate with your décor, just remember orange and black are the two main colors that are synonymous with Halloween. Last, but certainly not least, don’t forget to carve a pumpkin.
Creepy Cooking: Now’s the time to take creative cooking to another level. It’s easy to bake ghost or pumpkin shaped cookies. You can also dabble in witches brew, made out of punch, and experiment in decorating a pumpkin pie. There are tons of recipes out there that are hauntingly delicious.
Ghastly Games: Halloween themed games are a great way to get in the holiday spirit and also involve the whole family for a fun night of fright. Try playing pumpkin bowling with water bottles and a small pumpkin. Halloween hide and seek is great too. Hide Halloween treats around the house and give clues to their whereabouts. Now is also a great time to read ghost stories and watch your favorite scary movies. Let the frightening fun begin.
