Candy, clever costumes, and cackling crones can mean only one thing. It’s Halloween time! But how do you decide what to do in celebration of this ancient holiday. If you read the following article, you’re sure to think of something.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1
     

    Do you have children? If the answer is yes, you’ll most likely take them trick or treating. However, do to the rise of incidents during this night time event many parents opt to attend or throw a party instead.

    If you don’t have children you may still want to trick or treat. This holiday is a great excuse to let your inner child play.

  2. Step 2
     

    Choose your costume.

    Costume outlets seem to sprout up as soon as the first leaf falls. However, the internet is a great place to comparison shop. By using the internet you find costumes that many local retailers don’t have in stock. Plus the prices are usually lower.

  3. Step 3
     

    If you’re planning a Halloween party, check out How to Throw a Halloween Party right here on eHow. You’re sure to find all types of tips for any Halloween party theme.

  4. Step 4
     

    Go on a haunted hay ride. Check your local newspapers and websites for listings on dates, locations, and times for these events.

  5. Step 5

    Go to an amusement park. Many well known theme parks like Dorney Park in Allentown, Pennsylvania or Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey decorate the park for this holiday.

  6. Step 6
     

    If going out isn’t your thing this year, try staying home. Invite some friends over for a horror movie marathon. Be sure to stock up on candy, small party food, and beverages.

    Many cable channels offer marathons of scary flicks throughout the month of October, but you can always rent some movies from Netflix or watch them online

  7. Step 7

    Remember to be safe and have fun.

    Halloween comes around once a year, so you might as well enjoy it!

Tips & Warnings
  • Look for your costume early, because popular characters tend to run out quickly.
  • Take some time to decide. Don't choose the first costume you see. Sometimes sleeping on it helps.
