If you\u2019re like us, you proudly adorned your home with cobwebs, jack-o-lanterns, and skeletons as soon as there was a \u201cgreat pumpkin\u201d sighting.

Try your hand at a few DIY projects (like these mummy lanterns) or spook out your neighbors with a graveyard scene on your front lawn with ghoulish props! Be creative and have fun!<\/p>\n

There are three ways to watch scary movies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Watch with all the lights on, windows wide open and during the middle of the day. Follow with a comedy, so you don\u2019t have nightmares.<\/li>\n
  2. Brave watching during the middle of the night in the pitch-black, all while pulling a blanket over your head.<\/li>\n
  3. Or, don\u2019t watch them at all \u2013 scaredy cats!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

In fact, we\u2019ve created a list of 31 Days of Halloween Family-Friendly Movies<\/strong>, but one movie is missing from our list: Hotel Transylvania 3!<\/p>\n

    Speaking of a party, no Halloween party is complete without some boo-licious treats. While mom may have the sweet aromas of pumpkin spice, apples and maple running through her veins, your tiniest goblins and ghosts may prefer something salty, sour, sweet or chocolaty that they can sink their sweet fangs into. However, if you\u2019re looking for something a little healthier, check out these 13 Healthier Spooky-licious Halloween Treats. <\/strong>Whatever your flavor, a quick walk through your local superstore and we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll find plenty of Halloween-themed goodies.<\/p>\n

    While you\u2019re at the store, be sure to pick up the following ingredients to make a Drac Spooky Smoothie.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

      \n
    • 16 oz frozen strawberries<\/li>\n
    • 8 oz frozen mango<\/li>\n
    • 1 can guava nector<\/li>\n
    • 1\/3 cup lime juice<\/li>\n
    • 1\/4 cup water<\/li>\n
    • 1 tsp ground allspice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Instructions:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
        \n
      1. Combine all ingredients in the blender<\/li>\n
      2. Blend until smooth<\/li>\n
      3. Add more water if too thick<\/li>\n

        5<\/span>Throw On Your Favorite Costume<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

        You simply can\u2019t celebrate Halloween without at least one costume, and we say why limit yourself to just one?!<\/p>\n

        Costumes are a perfect chance for kids (and adults) to explore their imagination and express their creativity. DIY or store-bought, it doesn\u2019t really matter as long as you and your kids are having fun.<\/p>\n

        You could also practice your inner cosmetology skills by using special effects hair and makeup. With makeup (or a special Halloween paint kit), you can create anything from darker eyebrows and lips (to look like Mavis), to deep gashes or vampire blood. If you\u2019re not sure how to get started, don\u2019t be afraid to watch a few YouTube tutorials and work a few practice sessions in before the big night.<\/p>\n

        Pro Tip: don\u2019t forget to shop the post-Halloween sales for some awesome deals on costumes that can be used all year long. <\/em><\/p>\n

        Who doesn\u2019t love a good dance party? Remember the first time you heard Thriller<\/em> by Michael Jackson, or Ghostbusters<\/em> or Time Warp<\/em> by the Rocky Horror Cast? There are so many great Halloween songs out there, you\u2019d be remiss not to have a dance party after you\u2019ve gone through all the trouble of getting dressed up, even if that party includes no one other than you and the kids.<\/p>\n

        One of the great things about the Hotel Transylvania 3 Monster Party Edition is that it includes a number of sing-a-long dance tracks.<\/p>\n
