From the pumpkin-themed treats to the clever costumes, Halloween is hands down one of the best holidays. Around this time of year, I love cozying up on the couch and binging horror movies, listening to a plethora of ghost stories, and visiting some spooky places. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to find activities to do during a pandemic, while social distancing. Here are a few ideas I have for you to try out!
- Horror Movie/Show Marathon
-
There is no shortage of Halloween and horror-themed movies or shows to watch. Personally, I love hanging out with my friends and watching them get scared during our horror movie binge sessions. If you need any recommendations, a few of my yearly favorites are the Haunting of Hill House, The Conjuring, Hocus Pocus, and The Addams Family.
- Baking Halloween Treats
-
Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of baking videos and Instagram and TikTok and it’s definitely made me want to try out a few treats. You can also start a Halloween baking competition with your friends and family. It’s a fun way to make delicious treats and spend time with those around you,
- Ghost Photoshoot (TikTok)
-
This past month, a new TikTok trend has been going around where you create a “ghost” photoshoot. Essentially all you need is a few white sheets and some accessories and you’re good to go. You can take pictures around your house or town, with your friends, siblings, and even pets.
- Costume Zoom Call
-
At this point, I’m pretty sure we’re all familiar with Zoom. Instead of using Zoom for school or work, a great way to utilize the app would be to have a Zoom call with family or friends, dressed in Halloween costumes. You could even turn this into your own personal costume competition.
- Go to a Pumpkin Patch (while social distancing)
-
My Instagram has been flooded with pictures of people visiting pumpkin patches near them. If there is one open near you, definitely check it out. It’s a fun way to get out of the house and pick pumpkins you can carve or paint.
I hope you enjoyed these ideas and give them a try. Happy Halloween!
