Halloween’s almost here: The one date on the calendar when you can literally be anything you want to be, whether that’s a princess, a ghoul, a unicorn, or your favorite cartoon character. with everyone bringing their creative A-game, not having a camera during this occasion is a major no-no. Below, we list some of the most picture-perfect events of the season. Read on!

1. Throw a Halloween party

Why wait for an invite to a party when you can throw your own bash? Decorate your home in orange and black (plus some spiderwebs), mix up some bloody good drinks, and cook some scary-looking treats to get your friends and family in the mood for a killer time.

2. Go trick-or-treating

Halloween wouldn’t be complete without some trick-or-treating! Gather the kids, dress them up in their favorite costumes, and brace yourself for a spooktacular night of candy collecting.

3. Dress up your pet

You may have planned your Halloween ensemble months in advance, but have you considered also decking out your cat or dog in its own costume? Your fur baby will be absolutely adorable dressed up as a hot dog bun, don’t you think?

4. Go all out with the pumpkins

Nothing spells Halloween like a generous sprinkling of pumpkins! Visit a pumpkin patch with the kids, and take home a few to carve. Take photos of your jack-o’-lanterns and display them on your Nixplay Frame (Psst: You can get up to 20% off until November 4!).

5. Celebrate out of town

This year, why not celebrate Halloween in a different city or country for a change of scenery? It’ll be fun to see how different cultures celebrate the holiday. Here are some places for your consideration!

6. Visit a haunted house

What’s Halloween without a good scarefest? Make your way to a haunted house and try to get through all the rooms without screaming. Extra points if you dare visit in the evening!

7. Visit an amusement park

For screams and thrills of another kind, a trip to a nearby amusement park would suffice. Some parks, like Disneyland and Universal Studios, go all out during Halloween with special themed events like haunted houses, special concerts, and zombie runs.
