Halloweekend is one of the best weekends of the whole year for 2 simple reasons: candy and costumes. The decorations are spooky, the fall activities are awesome, and the best part is that it lasts a whole weekend. Halloweekend: spooky+ spectacular+ candy+ costumes+ fun=AMAZING! And here’s why…

CAUTION: the following reasons include many exclamation points due to excitement.

1. You can dress up with your “boo”…. get it??? I mean who doesn’t love a good couples costume. 

2. Candy becomes a main food group. You eat so much candy corn that your teeth fall out, but its okay ‘cause Halloween!!! 

3. You can dress up as anything imaginable… have you always wanted to be an astronaut or a Victoria’s Secret model? Well now you can be one!! 

4. Parties!! If you didn’t think a party could get any better, you were wrong because parties with people in costumes are better. 

5. Haunted houses, hayrides, and scary decorations. Pumpkins carved as jack-o-lanterns, scary spiders, cobwebs, ghosts, headless horsemen…. super scary and awesome!

6. 13 Days of Halloween on ABC Family. These are hands down the best old movies ever and I must watch all of them, especially Hocus Pocus

7. Dogs and babies dressed in cute little costumes. Enough said. 

8. And we can’t forget that if you go to Chipotle in your costume you get a free burrito!
