It’s 2020, and Halloween hits different… whether you’re planning on incorporating a mask into your costume (Masked Singer? Carole Maskin?), trunk-or-treating within your quarantine pod, or setting up trick-or-treat stations in your house and taking in a family flick for a homey Halloween.

We joined up with our friends at See’s Candies (drool) and Shudder (eek) to share our own thoughts (and some sweet deals) on how to make Halloween at home this year one of the best memories yet.

So whether you like edge-of-your-seat spooky scenes, or cinema that satisfies your sweet tooth from the comfort of your couch, there are plenty of films and activities you can do at home to make Halloween 2020 stand out in the family photo album.

Now get the family on board to set up your house (and your car!)  for the best Halloween activities ever, and then settle in for a late night sackful of screen candy.

________

Set a spooky scene

This year, put all the spooky decorations inside your house. Set up your living room to match a scene from the scary movie you’ll be screening that night. Dust off that creepy skeleton you love to put on the front step at this time of year, and prop him up outside your bedroom door for when the kids trick-or-treat.

________

Costume up

Whether you are hitting the town or staying locked down, get dressed up like you mean it. House rule: Everyone must dress as a character in the scary movie you’re watching that night.

________

No Excuse to not trick-or-treat!

Even if you’re not expecting too many little visitors this year, stock up on sweets anyway and set up trick-or-treat stations throughout the doors inside your home. Set a trick-or-treat time, and tell the kids to knock on doors throughout your house. If they scare you, they get a treat! Feeling creative? Set up a “hidden door” that only appears on Halloween night. Very spooky.
