Every October many people look for festive things to do to celebrate Halloween. Whether it is the food you eat, how you spend your weekends, or the outfits you wear, everyone tries to tie it back to Halloween.
Pumpkin patches are a popular choice to spend your weekends at during the fall. You can go on hay rides, carve pumpkins, go through the corn mazes, and pick apples. Pumpkin patches are for all ages, so you can bring your parents, children, friends, or even a date!
Haunted houses are a fun way to kill some free time in October. Many people are terrified to go to haunted houses, but go anyway for the thrill. In Lexington there are a variety of haunted houses, including Fright Nights and Wicked World.
Speaking of scary things, horror movies are the best movies to watch during October. Right now in theaters, Smile 2 and Terrifier 3 are out. Other popular horror movie choices include The Conjuring, Insidious, It, Halloween, Scream, and many more.
When you watch horror movies, you need a snack. During October, there are a variety of brands that have special editions for Halloween. Starbucks has pumpkin drinks, Chick fil A has a pimento cheese sandwich, and even Alanis have a witches brew drink. Stores also stock up on candy, caramel apples, and apple cider donuts.
Lots of people decorate a ton for Christmas, but also Halloween. This can include having carved pumpkins or scary decorations outside, but even just simple orange pillows and ghost decorated blankets will do the job.
The most important part of the Halloween tradition is dressing up. Many people think that only children should dress up for Halloween, but it is really for all ages. There are a variety of costumes to choose from, whether it is your favorite superhero, princess, or just a casual TV character.
Halloween is technically only on October 31st, but Halloween should be celebrated the whole month of October because there are a variety of things to do!
