Here are a Few Spooky Halloween Themed Ideas for a Spooky Family Night
October is the month of colder weather, football, costumes, and candy. It is a perfect time for family get-togethers with apple cider and hot chocolate. If people need a good excuse to party, they should look no further than this spooky season to plan the perfect family time. Whether or not a family is completely decorating the house with spiderwebs, ghouls, and ghosts, or whether they prefer pumpkins and leaves, there is something for everyone during this festive time.
Spooky Treats for Easy Making
- Pumpkin Cookies: Use premade sugar cookie dough and icing in Halloween colors to make jack-o-lanterns that are sure to disappear quickly.
- Candy Corn Bark: Place pretzels, raisins, and sandwich cookies on a baking tray and cover them with melted white chocolate. Sprinkle candy corn on top before the chocolate sets. This makes a colorful and super sweet treat to share.
- Cookie Spiders: Even easier than the pumpkin cookies listed above, these guys are sure to keep the attention of even the littlest helpers. Take sandwich cookies and licorice cut into short stands and stick the licorice in the cream of the sandwich cookies for spider legs. Add candy-coated chocolate buttons for eyes.
There are, of course, countless ways to experiment in the kitchen, but even the most confident of chefs may need to dump something down the kitchen sink drain. Garbage disposals should be in working order before the crazy kitchen crafts begin in earnest. No one wants to start with a fun food project and end up with clogged kitchen plumbing.
Do You Like (Not-So-) Scary Movies?
Nothing accompanies snacks better than a movie night. What better way to celebrate the spooky time of the year than with a scary or Halloween-themed flick? From Dracula to ParaNorman, some movies will keep every member of the family entertained. For those who love science fiction, Alien or Event Horizon might be a good spooky choice. Those who prefer a dash of comedy with their horror need to look no farther than Army of Darkness or Zombieland. There is always the classic Escape to Witch Mountain or Hotel Transylvania when looking for a not-so-scary family night movie. Behind the Mask and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre provide a psycho serial killer for those who prefer real monsters.
Halloween Party Time!
This time of year is a perfect excuse for a party. Whether for families, adults, or just for the kids, a Halloween party can be a great time for everyone. While decorating with fake spiderwebs and glowing skulls, the hosts should remember that the bathroom is one of the most important rooms to prepare for guests.
People tend not to think of their bathroom plumbing until something goes wrong, but this is something a person wants to avoid on the day of the party. If a homeowner suspects a problem with the bathroom plumbing, professionals help with any issue, from toilet repair to backups in the bathroom sink.
