Those who love Halloween will probably have a whole list of things on their Halloween Bucket List they’d like to do already. If you’re new to the craze, however, or just want something different this year and need some inspiration, you’ve come to the right place. The scariest day of the year can, in fact, become even scarier with these few tips.

Here is a handful of ways on how to step up your Halloween game and treat yourself, your friends, or your family to a night of horror.

Visit a haunted house 

As the pinnacle of spookiness, haunted houses are the way to go when you’d like to experience the true Halloween.

While breaking an entry into an abandoned psychiatric hospital from the 1960’s is probably not the best idea, however scary it might be, you can still find a lot of tours for both haunted houses and ghost tours, in general, if you know where to look.

Many cities offer these types of ghost tours where they take you through the history of the city with its many decades of horrible customs you’d be glad we have long put behind us. While you may be both frightened and disgusted with how we used to treat each other back in the days, you’ll return from the tour feeling very happy about the present.

Check out this San Francisco ghost tour, for example, or hit the search engine to find one for your city.

Have a horror movie marathon 

Some horror movies are terribly great while others, however, not so much. Craft together a list of great horror movies you’d like to watch and complete them all in one sitting – or just enjoy one or two of them if that’s enough horror for one night.

The trick is, of course, to hope that Halloween brings a lot of rain, and only start the movie when it’s already quite late. You’d want the setting to be gloomy, dark, and scary. Have a look at this article for some of the best horror movies of all times so that you avoid ending up with something mediocre this year.

You might be able to find a Halloween movie event in your area as well, by the way, where they even go through the trouble of decorating the place for you. Have a look online right away and see if there are any tickets left.

Finding something scary to do for Halloween is actually not that hard when you know what to look for. Fiction is, undoubtedly, a better option than facts when it comes to scary night, though, so that you’ll be able to fall asleep later on, knowing that it was just a movie.
