What’s your favorite way to celebrate Halloween? Spending an evening exchanging scary stories with your closest friends, binging horror films that will make you sleep with the lights on for a week, or passing out candy to all of the adorable kids who dressed up as their favorite characters to go trick or treating?
There’s no wrong way to embrace the spooky season, but if you’re looking for a frightening experience, what might be even more terrifying than ghost stories and strolls through moonlit cemeteries in the wee hours of the night is arriving on October 31 without a clue of what to dress up as that evening!
