How to spend your Halloween right
October 30, 2014
As high school students outgrow the classic tradition of trick-or-treating, many may wonder to do with their Halloween night. Here are some alternatives to have a great holiday:
- Go to Walgreens after school and buy the 3/$3 (or 6/$6 if the holiday really has you feeling down) of those candy boxes, then go home and watch Disney’s Halloween Night Marathon in your basement.
- Go to the Thirteenth Floor Haunted House in Melrose Park, because who doesn’t want to be chased by potential serial killers in an abandoned building with teenage girls shrieking around you?
- Get home and Netflix, eat, sleep, repeat.
- Halloween is on a Friday this year, the first night you will have a later curfew than 90% of the kids out, so try to enjoy while following the new LT Code of Conduct, of course.
- Slowly drive around your neighborhood in a suspicious vehicle with a bullhorn, explaining the warning signs of stranger danger. (disclaimer: Police may jump on the bandwagon with this one)
- Jump into a random flatbed of a truck with some friends and hay, and you’ve made your own makeshift hayride.
- Scare little children by telling them a fake story about how the house with all of their lights off is haunted, while having your other group of friends run out of the same house screaming.
- Do homework, because you are in five APs and don’t know what a social life is anymore.
- For all those fall sport athletes out there: carbo-load with KitKats and Butterfingers.
- Play car-tag/kidnapped—because what could go wrong?
