   As the weather gets chillier, and October starts to approach, the time to celebrate everyone’s favorite holiday has come. You guessed it, Halloween. Halloween is a very multifaceted holiday. The options of activities and ideas range widely. From pumpkin patches to haunted houses to hayrides, there are endless possibilities. I hope this simple and small list I curated gives you an idea for a fun Halloween activity.

  Visiting a haunted house is a wonderful option for an activity. Haunted houses contain dark scenery with frightening attractions and scenes of horror. Gothic elements abound. Although scary for many, it is a great way to have fun and get into the Halloween spirit. By researching haunted houses in your area, I’m sure you will find plenty of options.

Walk Through a Pumpkin Patch

  Walking through a pumpkin patch is a great idea for celebrating the fall/Halloween season. Pumpkin patches have autumn scenery, filled with beautifully colored Pumpkins. It’s a great way to relax and enjoy the outdoors. The best part is you can go to local pumpkin patches and pick out pumpkins for you to display or even carve out. There isn’t anything better than walking through one of these pumpkin fields on a nice fall evening (especially with family and friends). Going to pumpkin patches can provide an entertaining experience for all.

Gathering your friends and family, eating popcorn, and turning on a movie is a great way to bond and have an unforgettable time. A few examples of Halloween related movies are Hocus Pocus, The Addams Family and Beetlejuice. This activity is a great way to relax, have fun, and make Halloween more amusing.
