Celebrating Halloween doesn’t need to be just one night of the year…have festive fun all week long with these ideas!:

Sunday – Bring out the black and orange nail polish that you never use, and do cute Halloween manis with your girls. Pumpkins, cats, ghosts – the cornier the better! Sip some yummy homemade mocktails too!

Monday – Movie night! Host a Halloween movie classics marathon – think Halloweentown, The Addams Family, Hocus Pocus and Casper. Or, you can watch scarier flicks like Saw, Halloween, The Silence of the Lambs or The Ring. Make delicious Monster Munch popcorn that is for sure to keep you up all night!

Tuesday – Go reverse trick-or-treating on your floor. Put pieces of candy in a plastic glove or Halloween treat bag and tie it up with orange and black ribbon. Leave the bags at doors on your floor – what a sweet surprise! Afterwards, go on a frightening field trip – go on a haunted hayride, to a haunted house or take a ghost tour of a real haunted place. Good luck sleeping tonight!

Wednesday – Skip another dinner at the dining hall and have a Halloween themed potluck with your girls instead. Some ideas are Mummy Dogs, Spiderweb Cheese Dip and Jack O Lantern Pizza. Pinterest has so many recipes, you won’t know where to start!

Thursday – The night before Halloween is Devil’s Night, when kids play pranks in neighborhoods like egging a house. Prank your friends with a surprise silly string attack in costume, hanging toilet paper all over their dorm room, or pieing them in the face. Just don’t be surprised when you are pranked back!

Friday – 9.61 KISS Halloween Party at Stage AE– The biggest costume party in Pittsburgh hosted by radio personalities Mikey and Big Bob, Tall Cathy and Scottro with performances by Meghan Trainor, Jake Miller and Fifth Harmony. Tickets usually sell out  and it’s a blast – a party you definitely don’t want to miss! 

Saturday – Make your candy even better: make chocolate bark and sprinkle in M&Ms, candy corn, crushed Reese’s, toffee, Kit-Kats, whatever you have, you can’t go wrong!

How will you be celebrating Halloweek? Let us know, @HCPointPark!

I usually wear mostly pink and the gym and have nearly 300 bottles of nail polish. Now that I've given you more than enough reasons to hate me, take a looksie at my DIY articles. Maybe you'll change your mind. Comments and suggestions more than welcome!
