10 Spooky and Fun Activities to do in October

October has arrived in a blink of an eye, and I am sure we are all excited that spooky season is here. With leaves changing and sweater weather nearing, Halloween is just around the corner. There are many fun activities that we can participate in this month with our friends and family. Here are 10 ideas to help you make the most of the spookiest month of them all!

1. Go to a pumpkin patch!

Find your local pumpkin patch and buy the perfect pumpkins.

2. Carve pumpkins.

Get yourself the finest carving utensils and safely cut out your spookiest jack o'lantern.

3. Paint pumpkins.

If you’re feeling artsy and want to paint a face or fun designs on a pumpkin, grab your favorite colors and a paintbrush and release your inner Picasso.

4. Visit a haunted house.

Find your scariest local haunted house and attend with your friends!

5. Host or attend a costume party.

Dress up in your costume of choice and make the most of the one night of the year when you can be anything you want to be.

6. Make themed snacks, drinks, and desserts.

From pumpkin bread to pumpkin cookies to zombie brains and Frankenstein juice with floating eyeballs, entertain your guests with some fun and “delicious” treats.

7. Watch spooky movies.

If parties aren’t for you, grab some popcorn, a blanket to cover your eyes, and pick out the scariest movie to watch with some friends.

8. Sit around a fire and tell scary stories.

If you have access to a fire pit, sit around with some friends and tell some spoooooooky stories.

9. “Spook” or “Boo” your friends and neighbors.

“You’ve been BOOED!” Prepare a spooky basket full of goodies, leave it on the doorstep of a friend or neighbor, ring the doorbell, and don’t get caught.

10. Trick or treat!

You’re never too old to go trick or treating. Gather up your friends, head to your local trick or treat event, and get as many goodies as you can.
