Top Seven Activities for You and Your Gals this Halloween

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at FSU chapter.

Halloween is the perfect introduction to the holiday season. One of the best ways to get in the holiday spirit is to immerse yourself in the fun activities that go with it.

Here are some of the most amazing bonding experiences for you and your gals to enjoy this spooky season:

1. Visit a Pumpkin Patch

Pumpkins are a staple component of the fall time and are the perfect addition to any fall decor. The pumpkin patch has endless opportunities for cute fall-themed Instagram photos to liven your feed, and document your awesome fall memories. Plus, after you get your cute snaps, you and your girls can carve them up to make awesome decor!

2. Host a Scary Movie Night

Scary Movies are a Halloween essential! What better way to spend the night than snuggling up on the couch with your besties and watching your favorite thrillers? Some of the most popular scary movies this year are Before I Wake, Little Evil and The BabySitter. 

3. Have a Fireside S’mores Night

S’mores are the most iconic fall treats with their ooey-gooey deliciousness that everyone loves. Tallahassee apartment complexes are known to have amazing fire pits for everyone to enjoy fireside treats and company. 

4. Have a Costume Party

What is Halloween without costumes? Have a dress-up party with your girls and show off your personality in your favorite costume. Be sure to make spooky-themed snacks to go along with your amazing costume for a fantastic  Halloween party.

5. Spookify Your Apartment

One of the best parts of all holidays is the opportunity to give your space a new look with fun decor. Spooky decor sets the tone for the entire season, providing you and your roommates with the right vibes for the season. A trip to Walmart or Michael’s (if you prefer to DIY) can transform your apartment and your mood!

6. Visit a Haunted House

Haunted Houses are the ultimate spooky activity that will knock your socks off. Tallahassee’s very own Terror of Tallahassee is an amazing haunted house that is super fun to experience with friends. If you really want to feel the fright, take a roadtrip to Orlando to visit Halloween Horror Nights and experience professional-level scary haunted houses. 

7. Have a Spooky Game Night

Almost all girls’ nights include a fun game, so collect your board games, enjoy some Halloween treats and gather up the girls for a spooky game night. Add in some Halloween-themed PJ’s for the ultimate Halloween night in!

8. Thrifting Trip

If you want to save up this Halloween, go to your favorite thrift store and find some statement pieces to use for your costume. It’s even more fun with a group of friends to help you choose. The best part: you can wear those clothes again at any time of year!

Whether you celebrate with family, friends, or even by yourself, Halloween is one of the most fun holidays of the year where we truly get to express ourselves. Gift yourself with a treat this year and get into the Halloween spirit!
