Halloween Tips

Don’t know how to celebrate every kid’s favorite holiday? Well here are some tips to get you started. And please, leave the trick or treating to the kids under 12.

Have a unique horror movie night:

• This is great if you are burned out on all 100 of the “Saw” movies.

• Some relatively unknown creepy classics include: “The Ghost Ship” (1943), “Bedlam” (1946), and “House of Frankenstein” (1944).

Have a murder mystery party:

• Not exactly Halloween themed, but it can still be scary

Costume Ideas:

• You don’t have to get your costume prepackaged. Many people just use what they have in their closets.

• Popular celebrities can be the inspiration for costumes. There might be a lot of Lady Gaga and Justin Beiber costumes this year, so don’t forget about those classic celebrities like Marilyn Monroe.

• Find a friend and do a classic duo like Fonzie and Richie from Happy Days or pick a group of friends and be a band like the Spice Girls or The Backstreet Boys or a cast from a TV show like “That 70’s Show.”

Party Favors:

• You could do the classic candies, but there are other options.

• Candied apples, pumpkin muffins and decorated mini-pumpkins
