The weekend of Halloween is a weekend anybody of any age looks forward too. It’s a weekend filled of candy, all things pumpkin related, friends, scary movies and costumes. Here’s a list of some of the hallmark (must do) things during Halloween week and throughout the weekend:

1. Pumpkin Picking/Carving: This is a great way to show your creative side and join together with the children in your life.
2. Haunted Hayrides: because who doesn’t love being scared out of their minds (when you know it’s fake)?
3. Halloweentown: Have a Halloweentown movie marathon with friends or family.
4. All Halloween Movies: Enjoy a movie night with friends including all movies Halloween-related.
5. Costume Party: Who doesn’t like going out and dressing up at the same time?!
6. Trick-or-Treating: No matter how old we get, we all love getting free candy and an extra-large sugar rush.

Then there are the Halloween activities that men and women can participate in if they are 21 and older. For example, check out Halloween Bar Crawls in New York City or Hoboken if you are local to the Get Smart area, or attend any Halloween Bar Party in your area!

The most important thing about Halloween weekend, regardless of what you’re doing or how old your are, is travel with a friend or group of people. Because Halloween is a time when everyone is in costume, masking what they look like and who they are, you can never be sure what other people may be up to. Stay safe and be smart while having a blast.

Whatever you do, have a SPOOKTACULAR weekend!
