As a teenager, you may ask yourself what is there to do on Halloween. This can be a
dilemma for kids that are in Highschool or Jr Highschool. Teenagers usually don’t want to do the
same things that they would do as little kids, but they still want to find something to do. There
are still fun things that teens can do on Halloween besides going trick or treating. Many teens
don’t like the idea of going trick or treating because they might find it to be too childish for
them. Some teens still like to go trick or treating, but what should you do if you want to do
something else this Halloween?
Halloween Movie Marathon

perfectly. There are tons of Halloween classics that you could watch if you just want to
experience fun Halloween vibes or there are also tons of horror movies you could watch if you
want a real fright. You could binge classic horror movie franchises such as “Nightmare on Elm
Street”, “Friday the 13th”, “The Conjuring”, “Insidious”, “Halloween” “Scream”, and more.
Some more fun Halloween movies that are less scary to watch for the holiday are

“Casper”, and more.
Halloween is a great time to binge seasonal movies with friends and family. It’s the
perfect thing to do if you just want to chill. Nothing will put you in the Halloween mood more
than Halloween movies.
Pumpkin Carving
Halloween time means that it is also pumpkin season. It is the perfect time to go pick a
pumpkin and carve a Jack-o’-lantern out of it. Pumpkin carving can be a fun activity that has
enough substance to do a Halloween date night due to the fact that it takes up enough time and
allows you to have a lot of social interaction with whoever you are with. Plus, who doesn’t like
the satisfaction of stabbing and cutting shapes into pumpkins?
Pumpkin carving allows you to be very creative. You can carve whatever you want.
There are many wild things that people can do with pumpkin carving. It is a great way to be
artistically expressive. You are free to create whatever you want.
If you want, you could even do a pumpkin carving competition with your friends where
you compete to design the best Jack-o’-lantern, and when you are done you judge all the
contestants to see who has the best creation. This is a fun idea if you want to be competitive with
your friends while also getting in the Halloween mood. A pumpkin carving competition could
become a fun October tradition for you and your friends. Carving pumpkins is a seasonal activity
that you can only do in the fall so you don’t want to miss out on it.

endless. There is a lot of fun to be had with Halloween craft making.
Boo Your Neighbors
“Booing” your neighbors mean to secretly leave some kind of treat on their doorstep with

the next person by doing the same thing. “Booing” usually can spread through the whole
neighborhood if people participate in it. This activity is not really something to do on Halloween
