Scary Good Times: What to Do on Halloween Night

By Robin Smith

Halloween is the only time of the year when everything feels like it is out of a horror movie and still feels good and cheerful. Everyone has different traditions on how they spend their Halloween night, and you probably have some too, but if you feel like doing something different this year, here are some things you can do! For those looking to add a unique twist to their Halloween night, consider hosting a dance party with a spooky theme. Transform your living room into a haunted ballroom and invite friends to dress up and dance the night away. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or just starting out, it’s never too late to learn some new moves. In fact, exploring the Best Age to Learn Dance can inspire you to pick up a new skill or encourage younger guests to join in the fun. Dancing not only adds excitement to the evening but also creates lasting memories with friends and family.

Hit Up a Haunted House or Escape Room

You can also visit a haunted house or an escape room to live up to the Halloween festivities. You can research this and look for places closest to your house and the best scary effects! If not an artificial haunted house, you can even look for buildings in your area that are said to be haunted or have had sights of spirits or any paranormal activities and go there for your Halloween adventure. Just make sure to go with a group and to keep flashlights. 

Join a Halloween Party or Bar Crawl

A Halloween party at a bar is one of the best ways to end the night. All bars all over town offer Halloween festivities with Halloween-themed decorations and cocktails. There is also horror music that you can dance to through the night, and many more things like costume contests where everyone shows off what they are dressed up in, and the winner gets a prize, maybe a few extra drinks! There are also bar crawl events where you can go where you can visit the best bars in town, have the craziest cocktails, and meet more people like you who want to dance the night away. For example, the Charlotte Halloween Bar Crawl has all this to offer, and much more! 

Host a Costume Bash at Home

If you do not feel like going out and exploring bars, you can just do a costume bash at home, where you come up with a theme, and send invites to everyone who matches the theme. According to some statistics, 47% of people put in efforts to dress up for Halloween, so give your friends and family the opportunity to dress up! You can also come up with spooky food ideas and even make something at home, like you can decorate cookies with Halloween decorations. You can also decorate your house, especially your entry way according to the theme, and then make everyone do a catwalk and cheer for the best outfit. Other than that, you can also plan games and activities, such as sitting around a cauldron and playing truth or dare, and of course, no Halloween party goes without music, so create the spookiest yet exciting playlist, and dance with your friends through the night. 

Take a Stroll that Leaves You Spooked

Have you ever heard of or been on a Halloween walking tour? Imagine this: you stroll through cobblestone streets, with lamps shining down. You go through churches and courtyards and see long cast shadows that create an eerie, haunted scene. Your head horror stories of the monuments you pass by, and as you go to another spot, you feel like you have entered another century. In such a tour, you not only get the Halloween experience, but you also learn about the history of such monuments and tales of people who used to live there. You learn about any famous people who lived there and get spooked by any new reported stories of that place. 

Binge on Horror Classics

What better event than Halloween to get spooked out by a horror movie that leaves you screaming and hiding your face in the pillow? Look for places with movie shows and get your popcorn and Halloween treats to spend the night with your friends and family while the Halloween fear lingers on. You can also do a movie marathon, and watch horror movies one after the other, or watch a movie trilogy through the night. Of course, it all depends on how much you can watch without fearing that you are totally spooked and cannot go to bed alone! 

Conclusion

Halloween night is all about creating memories and having the most fun, so, it does not matter whether you get drunk in a bar, spend it planning a party and doing decorations at your house, or go witch-hunting or to a haunted house. You should do what makes you feel the best. After all, it is a whole year till you get to feel the same vibes again.
