5 Ways to Enjoy Halloween as an Adult

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UGA chapter.

As adults, we’re obviously past the age of trick or treating, but that doesn’t mean we can’t partake in all of the Halloween festivities. Who says Halloween is just for kids? Here are five ways that you can enjoy Halloween as an adult.

1. Attend or throw a costume party

You’re never too old to dress up for Halloween. Costume parties are always fun, and if you’re feeling extra festive, throw and host your own Halloween bash.

2. Have a scary movie marathon

Don’t feel like going out this year? Grab your friends, some popcorn, and binge watch all of your favorite horror movies.

3. Play some Halloween drinking games

For adults, you might want to indulge on a little more than just candy for Halloween. If you want to get a bit loose, play a few Halloween themed drinking games. Create your own rules for a scary movie drinking game, or play an alcoholic version of bobbing for apples.

4. Hold a costume contest at the office

Can’t celebrate Halloween at home? No worries! Bring Halloween to the office. Gather your coworkers, decorate your work space and have a costume contest. Dress up as your favorite superhero, celebrity, or try impersonating your boss if you’re feeling risky!

5. Visit a haunted house

It wouldn’t be Halloween without the thrills and chills. Visit a haunted house in your local area….if you dare!

Happy haunting collegiettes!
