Put together a mini haunted house, get a ghostly disco going on, have a dress-up party, and just go wild on the candy. There are plenty of options for creating your own mini-festival – why not make it a street party and get to know the neighbourhood? It’s a great bonding experience and so fun for the kids. You could make some brand new friends… forever! Everyone will be simply dying to come! Mwhahahaha!

So many evil laughs in one little article! Must be Halloween coming out of us! Got any tips or tricks (or treats)? Let us know in the comments.
