Halloween is great – if you love parties and putting yourself out there. Some people, though, (myself included) may not always be down to dress up and interact with a bunch of strangers. So, if you’re in a ~spooky~ mood but don’t want to sacrifice your sense of security, or if you’re just plain lazy, here are some fun Halloween activities to do alone or with a few good friends!
- Making Spooky Baskets
-
You may have seen this trend on social media: you fill those typical jack-o-lantern shaped trick-or-treat buckets with candy, small gifts and other small things for your SO, friends or family members. Things you can put in the basket include:
– Chocolate bars
– Candy
– Popcorn/chips
– Halloween/Horror movies
– Socks/Pajamas
– Makeup/Skincare - Gingerbread Haunted Houses
-
While Halloween is approaching, most stores already have their spooky stuff on clearance and are clearing the way for Christmas paraphernalia. This is the perfect opportunity to buy a gingerbread house and make it Halloween-y by adding black icing, Halloween-themed candies and spooky piping. This activity is great for small group hangouts, date night, or spending time with kids/younger siblings!
- Creepy or Cute Baked Goods
-
Not into gingerbread? No worries! Turn your lowkey night into one full of sweet and savoury treats – without the tricks. From monster cookies to boo bark, the internet has a ton of delicious-sounding ideas to add more Halloween spirit to your lowkey night in.
- Halloween Movie Night

Nothing like a bunch of snacks and some Halloween movies to get you in a spooky mood! Make it a marathon of horror movies, or general Halloween-themed classics! (Check out Bethany’s article “Feminist Horror Flix” or Rieley’s article “Not-So Spooky Movies” for some great recommendations!)
