Halloween at Home

By AMANDA

Forget everything you know about how October 31 is traditionally celebrated, these Halloween at home ideas will help you have a spooky socially distanced celebration right at home. 

This year Halloween could be a more spooky event as the holiday falls on a Saturday, meaning it could be an entire day of sweets, costumes and crafts. There will also be a full moon (spooky!). But just because we have to remain socially distanced this year doesn't mean Halloween has to be cancelled, just means we need to get a bit more creative.

SO WE'VE PUT TOGETHER A LIST OF IDEAS OF THE BEST WAYS TO SAFELY CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN 2020.

Prepare Spooky Food

Make your Halloween house party ghoulishly good with some scary cupcakes, creepy cookies, spooky sweets and devilish dinners that the whole family will love.

Put on a Halloween playlist

No matter how small your Halloween party is, it won't be complete without some spooky tunes. Make sure to play throwbacks like "Thriller" and newer jams like "Midnight City". Check out the 50 Spooky Halloween songs you need on your playlist. 

Watch a Scary Movie or Make it a Movie Marathon
