For your next friends-gathering or girls-night this October, we’ve got some great ideas for a fun-filled night of catching up and enjoying each other’s company. Here are a few suggestions for your next spooky night in:   

Pumpkin Carving 

Nothing says Halloween quite like traditional pumpkin carving! Gather a few pumpkins, carving tools, and premade templates to create spooky or silly jack-o’-lanterns. Pumpkin carving is a fun, hands-on activity that brings out everyone’s creativity and makes for perfect Halloween decor!  

Pumpkin Painting 

 A great, hassle-and mess-free alternative to carving, pumpkin painting is a creative way to enjoy the season! Grab some acrylic paint, brushes, and let your imagination and creativity run wild. From patterns, to ghosts, or fall designs, this activity is perfect for everyone, especially those looking to have a little seasonal pumpkin fun without the cleanup! 

Cook a Spooky Dinner 

Take your Halloween night up a notch by cooking a spooky-themed dinner! Whether it’s ghost or pumpkin-shaped homemade pizzas, jack-o-lantern grilled cheese sandwiches, or a spooky charcuterie board, this is your chance to get both spooky and creative! Follow up dinner with baking Halloween-themed treats like spiderweb cupcakes or candy corn cookies!  

DIY Spooky Blankets 

Get cozy and creative by making your own Halloween-themed blankets. Using a no-sew fleece kit or following a DIY tutorial for tie blankets, head to your nearest craft store and pick out spooky-patterned fleece. This relaxing activity not only sets a chill vibe but also leaves you with a cozy new blanket to snuggle under for the rest of the night!  

Horror Movie Marathon 

No spooky night is complete without a scary movie marathon! Pick your favorite thrillers, grab your favorite snacks, and settle in for a night of fright! Whether you prefer classic horror films, psychological thrillers, or light-hearted spooky flicks, this is the perfect way to wind down and embrace the Halloween spirit! 

So, gather your ghouls and goblins and plan your next spooky-themed night in! Get creative, get cozy, and have a blast! Happy haunting!
