With Halloween right around the corner, many people are looking for the perfect Halloween costume to wear to the best frat party they can find.  But this year, Halloween falls on a Monday night, begging the dreaded question of whether you should go out and have a great time, or stay and chill at home? Whether your reasons are you don’t want to see harambe doing a keg stand, have one of those clowns jump out of nowhere and scare the s**t out of you, or if you just want to stay home and relax, here are some great things you can do on a halloween night in:

 

1. Invite a bunch of friends over watch the BEST HALLOWEEN MOVIES EVER CREATED: Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown 1-4

   

No one can deny that they love the wickedness of the Sanderson Sisters and the adventures of Marnie and her grandmother!

 

2. Eat all the Halloween candy you can find!

 

 

Postpone that trip to the dentist and pig out on all the bite size candy you can eat!

 

 

3. Buy and wear a cute Halloween onesie!

You can’t not wear a costume on Halloween, even if you’re staying at home, so might as well be cute and comfy!

 

4. Treat yo’self to a Halloween inspired SPA DAY!   

 

Whether you’re wearing a sheet mask that makes you feel like Hilary Duff in A Cinderella Story or an at home nail salon complete with spider web placemats, you will be the most rejuvenated person on November 1st!

Buy 10 peices of MediHeals Dress Code mask’s on Amazon for $15.00: https://www.amazon.com/Mediheal-Dress-Code-Mask-Ginseng/dp/B013X3Q8EW/ref=pd_bxgy_194_img_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=GPRQ4Z0TP0Q6DHJ6CM2Q

 

5. Bake some FRIGHTFULLY good Halloween treats!

 

If you’re not a candy person, this is perfect for you! Instead of tiny candy bars, try some delicious chocolate skull cupcakes.

6. Do everything pumpkin! Pumpkin carving, bake pumpkin seeds, drink pumpkin spice latte’s etc…

 

Everything has a pumpkin alternative when fall rolls around, so embrace it!

 

7. Play a little PRANK on your roommates!

Maybe don’t hide in your fridge, but it’s not Halloween without a good scare!

8. Study for that test you’ve got in a few days.  

Remember, Halloween is on a Monday night!

 

9. Target time!

This is not exactly “staying in,” but nobody’s gonna be inside Target on Halloween night, so enjoy the short lines and stock up!

10. Ghoul around and try out a Ouija board! You know you want to…

Whats Halloween without conjuring up some spirits?
