This year is unlike any other we’ve seen before. Ways that we are used to celebrating Halloween—going to parties, trick-or-treating or even going to see Rocky Horror—are not as safe as they used to be. Here are some fun and safe ways to celebrate the spookiest holiday this year:

1. Invite a few close friends over to watch scary movies

2. Set individually wrapped candies out on a table for the neighborhood kids to take.

3. Have a scavenger hunt for candy around your home.

4. Carve or decorate pumpkins with a few friends.

5. Have a costume contest over Zoom.

6. Invite a few close friends over for a bonfire or outdoor get together.

No matter what you do, make sure to stay safe and have a spooky time.
