Who says only children get to enjoy Halloween? It is an occasion to leave behind the mundane routine and daily grind and have some fun. But, if you think trick-or-treating is the only way to celebrate Halloween, think again. There are all sorts of activities you can do this Halloween season- on your own or with your friends or family. Here are ten fun activities you can do this Halloween and enjoy this spooky season to the fullest.  

Have a Movie Marathon 

Now, this may seem like a very basic or clichéd idea, but there is nothing quite like cuddling in a blanket with your favorite snacks and watching movies. You can even invite your friends over, arrange their favorite snacks, and hold a movie night at your home. There are quite a few Hollywood classics from the Horror genre or based on Halloween. You can easily find a lot of recommendations for Halloween movies online or ask your friends to pitch in ideas.  

Enjoy Some Reading  

Want to enjoy some quiet time on your own? How about grabbing some chilly books and a warm drink to spend your evening? To create the perfect atmosphere for your reading, dim the lights, draw the curtains, light a candle, and choose a quiet and dark corner in the house. It surely is the perfect to embrace the Halloween spirit.  

Plan an Escape Room Activity 

If you are more into fun activities and looking forward to having some spooky fun, plan a trip to an escape room with your friends. This can be particularly fun if your friends like to solve puzzles and mysteries. Look for a Halloween-themed escape room and enjoy an unforgettable evening where you and your friends solve some puzzles together to find your way out. It is a great way to put your skills to the test and experience an exciting excursion with other thrill-seekers. 

Arrange a Halloween Murder Mystery Game 

Another crazy and fun idea is to arrange a party around murder or crime mysteries. Enjoy an exciting evening with your friends or family where everyone gets involved in solving a mystery. You can even purchase murder mystery kits online if you have not arranged such a game before. 

Go on a Bar Crawl 

If you are averse to the idea of staying holed up in the house and looking for a fun night out, consider going bar hopping with friends. You can get access to some of the best nightclubs and bars with popular hosts like the Bar Crawl Live. Dance your heart out to some exciting music from some of the best DJs and enjoy drinks in crazy and spooky costumes. Halloween does not get better than this! 

Arrange a Costume Contest 

If you want to have an ultimate night of fun and laughter, how about arranging a Halloween costume contest for your friends? Gather your friends for some fun and friendly competition on the spookiest night of the year. Ask them to show their unique style and creativity by dressing up in a quirky costume from their favorite horror movie or book. A few friends can become judges who may evaluate the contestants based on their originality, and the winner walks away with an exciting prize. 

Arrange a Halloween Potluck 

The concept of festivities without food is inconceivable and if you agree, consider a potluck party with your neighbors or friends. Ask everyone to bring in Halloween-themed food like monster-shaped cookies or sandwiches, finger sausages, etc. You will have a lovely time trying others' creative and spooky creations. 

Arrange a pumpkin carving contest 

You can also gather your friends for a fun pumpkin carving contest. It is a good way to put your creativity to the test as you carve an ordinary pumpkin into a silly or spooky work of art. Once everyone is done with making their creations, the participants can gather to admire each other's work and vote for the best pumpkin. 

Go Trick-Or-Treating 

We are too old for trick-or-treating, said no one ever! This is a sure way to spend your Halloween Eve, especially when you have kids in the house. Gather your friends or neighbors with their kids and go trick-or-treating in the form of groups around the community. You will certainly be surprising quite a lot of people by showing up at their doorstep dressed in a costume and asking for treats.  

Have a Trivia Night 

Want to put your Halloween knowledge to the test? Gather your friends or family for a Halloween-themed trivia night. You can create your own brain-teasing trivia questions or get pre-made questions on Halloween from online sources. Guests can be divided into teams to answer questions and enjoy a bit of friendly competition.
