Halloweekend is a highly anticipated event around college campuses. It’s a weekend full of back to back costume parties. The pregames, the hangovers, the loud music and sweaty basements may not be everyone’s sip of tea. It can get exhausting and maybe you and your girls need a night in. Or maybe you want to try out something different this year. If so, here are some ideas of alternative activities for your Halloweekend.
1. Host a small campfire
Jam to your favorite music, relax in some lounge wear and blankets and roast marshmallows! Take advantage of this crisp fall night, before it gets too cold to function.
2. Watch a Horror Movie
Whether it be a cheesy one from the 60s or today’s most hyped movie in theaters! Not into movies? Tune in for the season 2 premiere of the best sci-fi drama series, “Stranger Things”, on October 27th on Netflix! You can thank me later.
3. Bake some Halloween treats
Check out this delicious trail mix recipe we shared for minimum baking but maximum deliciousness!
4. Tour an abandoned building
This picture is of Westborough State Hospital, about a half hour away from Clark’s campus. An insane asylum that opened in 1848. *Shivers* Be sure to be safe and follow the laws when seeking out spooky adventures this month!
5. Visit a graveyard in the dark
Discover if the movies hype up the spookiness or if the paranormal activity is real.
6. Host a special effects makeup contest
FX makeup looks are everywhere on the internet during this time of year. Grab some friends, watch a few Youtube tutorials and compete to see who can make the most realistic and scariest looks.
7. Contact Spirits using an Ouija board…if you dare
But maybe try to keep the spirits out of my residence hall!
8. Attend a Pumpkin Fest
Grab yourself a seasonal, hot beverage, wrap up in your scarf and sweater and head out to a local pumpkin festival to see an amazing display of carvings.
9. Go to a Fright Fest
Scream your lungs out and cling onto your bestfriend when zombies chase and jump out at you!
Whatever you end up doing, get in the spirit, stay safe and have fun!
Happy Halloween, collegiettes!
