We all have seen the classic & fun Halloween activities of trick-or-treating, costume parties, carving pumpkins, or turnips into jack-o’-lanterns, divination games, scary storytelling, etc. Let’s explore some ideas for what to be on Halloween:
- Trick-or’-treating
This is a classical Halloween activity where kids, and sometimes adults, go door-to-door in their neighborhood, and collect candies and sweets. The “treat” includes the candies/ sweets/ money. The “trick” refers to a threat to perform a mischief on the house or its owner if no treat is given.
- Halloween Costume Parties
Halloween costume parties are one of the most popular activities of this celebration. It’s an opportunity to show your creativity and dress like someone for this special evening. You can dress like a superhero, monster, witch, or your neighbor. There are costume contests with prizes for the most attractive, scariest, or funniest outfits.
- Pumpkin Carvings and Jack-o’-Lanterns
Carving pumpkins into jack-o’-lanterns is one of the most iconic activities during Halloween. It started in Ireland, where turnips or potatoes were carved with faces, designed to ward off evil spirits. When the Irish came to America, they found the pumpkins were larger and easier to carve. Today, pumpkin carving has evolved into an art form, with people creating intricate designs, from simple spooky faces to elaborate works of art. Carved pumpkins are usually lit with a candle and put out on porches or windowsills to shine through the night.
- Hunted Trails and Corn Mazes
If you’re a thrill-seeker and craving a spooky experience, then corn mazes as well as haunted trails are the ideal Halloween activities for you. Not only do they provide excitement, but also they immerse you in an eerie atmosphere that heightens the suspense. Moreover, these activities offer a thrilling challenge while keeping you entertained. In addition, the unexpected twists and turns of corn mazes combined with the jump scares on haunted trails create an unforgettable experience. Ultimately, if you’re seeking an adrenaline rush this Halloween, these spooky adventures are a must.
- Horror Movie Marathons
If you don’t like stepping out and want to set the Halloween mood, then how about a horror movie marathon? It is the perfect excuse to binge-watch your favorite scary movies. Some people also host movie nights at home. Popular films like Halloween, The Exorcist, and The Conjuring are Halloween night favorites.
