Halloween is Sunday..and you realize you are not ready. Never fear, we are here with some last minute ideas to get you in the spirit of things!
First, looking for costume ideas?
Check out 84 Homemade Halloween Costume from County Living. Some are simpler than others to construct, but all are very cute (did we see a librarian costume in there? yes, we did!) Ideas range from animals to the famous to a skein of yarn.
How about Halloween themed snacks?
Mummy (see what I did there?) might have to help with cooking these creations brought to you by Pillsbury. Check out the link for Crescent Mummy Pizzas, Mummy Meatloaf, Mummy Head Candy Apples and more!
What about Halloween movies?
You can always use a couple of good movies the nights leading up to Halloween.
Let's start with a classic. It wouldn't be Halloween unless Linus was in the pumpkin patch waiting for the Great Pumpkin in "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown"
"Hocus Pocus" is another favorite, judging by the number of times it's replayed on cable during the month.
"Happy Halloween, Scooby-Doo!", which is new as of 2020, celebrates Scooby's favorite holiday because there is free candy everywhere. Whip up some Scooby snacks and enjoy this cartoon. (Check out this recipe to make Scooby Snacks)
Finally, how about some Halloween music?
For this one, may we suggest Hoopla? Hoopla is a digital database that contains ebooks, music, audiobooks and movies that you can borrow with your library card and enjoy on your computer, phone or tablet.
We narrowed this search for Halloween music for children, so there may be more options if you are throwing a teen or adult party. With Hoopla, there is no line or waiting period, you can check out your items and enjoy instantly.
That's all until next month!
Have a Happy, Safe Halloween!
