Last Minute Halloween Activities!

Halloween is the best night of the year!! If you don’t have plans or had friends cancel, then check out these last minute Halloween activities you can do!

Go to a Haunted House!
This is a great last minute activity to do! There are tons of haunted houses all throughout the country. Google haunted house attractions around your area and see what you find. There are also other attractions you can go to, such as haunted hay rides, ghost walks (like a haunted house except you’re following a trail) and so many others! It’s a great way to get scared and to also get into the Halloween spirit!

Spooky Dinner Party
Throw a last-minute dinner party!! Instead of making a bunch of different Halloween treats, pick a theme and go with it. Whether it’s a vampire themed dinner or classic horror character themed meals. Let your creativity run wild! Make a quick run out to the store and invite friends and family over for a meal before the Halloween festivities begin.

DIY Halloween Costumes
If you think hard enough, there are Halloween costumes all around your home just waiting to be created. Think of well-known characters that do not need a lot to create. Zombies are normally the easiest; simply tear up some clothing, add some fake dirt and blood and there you go! It’s quite easy to make a costume at home, so if you don’t have time to plan it’s a great resort.

Decorate Your Porch/Door
If you’re suddenly going to be stuck at home on Halloween, decorate your entrance for the little trick-or-treaters that will be visiting you! If you have a porch, put up some fake spiderweb’s, add some lights and sit out with some spooky tunes on. It’s a great way to have fun and it puts everyone else in the Halloween spirit as well. Invite some friends over to help hand out candy!

Watch Some Videos and Do Some Makeup Tutorials!
Break out the booze and have a fun makeup night in your place! Look up some cool makeup tutorials and go at it. Practice makes perfect when it comes to Halloween makeup, but after you’re finished post your spooky selfies on Facebook or Instagram!

Throw Your Own Halloween Party!
You may be thinking that throwing a Halloween party is impossible to do on short notice, but it’s honestly easier than you think. Grab some snacks, make your own Halloween playlist on Spotify and have everyone bring their own booze. It doesn’t have to be anything over the top, but put up a little decorations and you’re ready to go!

Have A Movie Night!
If all else fails, it’s always fun to curl up on the couch, lock up the doors and stay in for a movie night. Get yourself a little scared and enjoy that it’s Halloween! I recommend watching Halloween, the Conjuring, the Strangers, Nightmare on Elm Street, the Shining and Friday the 13th!

Have a fun & safe Halloween!

Top 5 Best Movies Adapted from Stephen King Books

Stephen King is one of my favorite authors. If you enjoy creepy or scary things, he may be one of your favorites as well! He is a spooky genius! Not only do his books give me the chills, but the movies adapted from his books are sometimes even spookier. Here are my favorites! Comment below and tell me what your favorites are!

1. Misery
Misery will always be a favorite no matter what. Kathy Bates has always, in my opinion, had this strong and kind of scary attitude in the characters she plays. When you put her in a scary movie, she almost always portrays it perfectly. Even though the book was beautifully written, the movie is what gives me the chills. Stephen King always does a great job of keeping the story interesting, even though the setting stays in almost one place the entire book. It’s almost panicking thinking about being trapped in a house with Kathy Bates who is obsessed with you.

2. the Shining
This is an obvious choice, but it’s SO good! I can’t imagine anyone else being Jack besides Jack Nicholson. The Shining is one of the biggest Stephen King movies ever. Almost everyone knows about it, even if they haven’t seen it. If you’re a true CREEPSTER then you have to know this movie. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”

3. Children of the Corn
This movie is definitely not as good as the book, but it’s still pretty creepy. This is a film that will make you look at your kids or siblings differently. Just don’t leave any knives or poison lying around *wink, wink* The movie, overall, kind of gets boring in the middle parts, but Malachai is creepy AF. Not to mention, Isaac just looks creepy so it kind of has a good scary vibe to it. Let’s just hope you aren’t surrounded by cornfields (unfortunately, I am).

4. Carrie
This is another one of my own personal favorites. I love Carrie! I especially love the fact that Stephen King based this off of two students while teaching in Maine. This may sound super cheesy, but I think it gives a good message not to screw with those that don’t fit in. You never know what they are capable of doing.

5. Pet Sematary
Even though the special effects and quality of the film are a little old, it’s still a great film. The movie really makes you stop and think. This movie will always be a good movie, because of how the book was portrayed. Also, please watch your kids and don’t let them wander out onto a highway and get smashed by a semi-truck.
