1. The house decor

Deck your out your home with some super Halloween trimmings. Think spider webs on the staircase, jack-o-lanterns and glowing candles. And a fun added touch to boost your house’s Halloween vibe… a creepy soundtrack with a few scary surprises.

2. The trick-or-treating

Whether it’s a planned event or a scavenger hunt through the streets of your village, accompany your little ones as they hunt down their next cavities with the many chocolate bars and candies that will come their way (come on, it's only once a year!) For the bigger kids, enjoy the night and stay safe.

3. The costume

Get the kids into the Halloween spirit with a fun, festive costume. Get creative and craft your own - just hunt down some old fabric, cardboard boxes, paint, glue and other staple stationery to get your best costume prepped and ready for action!

4. The ghost stories

Think camping! Huddle around a burning fire (or at home in your living room), flashlight pointing upwards, towards your moving lips. A good ghost story will always send shock waves through the group - see if you can get anyone to really wet their pants!
