Goblins and ghosts and vampires, oh my! Halloween is upon us and we\u2019re totally getting in the holiday spirit. Having friends over for a night of Halloween films? We have some spooktacular tips on hosting a haunting Halloween movie night at home that your guests won\u2019t forget. Whether you\u2019re planning on watching family-friendly Beetlejuice<\/em> or a series of cringe-worthy slasher flicks, you can deliver a memorable evening in a few easy steps.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Planning
\n<\/strong>Don\u2019t just stockpile freaky films and expect your pals to pick out their favorites. That\u2019s going to take hours and defeat the purpose of you choreographing this event. The first thing you want to do is decide how many scary movies you can sit through and what your theme is going to be. It can be a director, time period, character, top-horror movies, whatever, it doesn\u2019t matter. Just have one and stick to it.<\/p>\n

The Seating
\n<\/strong>Depending on the amount of people you\u2019re cramming onto your couch, as well as the set-up of your living room, this might not be a big concern for you. You still want to make sure everyone has a good seat in front of your OLED TV<\/a> from Buydig.com. If you don\u2019t have enough spaces on chairs and loveseats, use the floor. Arrange pillows and blankets so that it\u2019s easy to get everyone comfortable.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Set the Mood
\n<\/strong>Turn the lights off and light candles all around before you turn the movie on for ambiance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Take it Outside
\n<\/strong>If you have the equipment and the space for a movie projector<\/a> from Buydig.com, bring a bunch of blankets, pillows, and comforters outside so that you can cozy up! Take in the crisp fall air, enjoy the change of scenery, and don\u2019t forget to keep an eye out for bats!<\/p>\n

Trick-or-Treat
\n<\/strong>Don\u2019t forget the treats for your friends. What\u2019s Halloween without candy? Like any gathering of friends, food is a necessity. Sure, you can offer the classic chips and dip, but you can also have a lot more fun with it too. If you\u2019re watching your favorite childhood Halloween movies, like Hocus Pocus<\/em>, try for a simple orange and black theme with your cuisine. For more intense horror films, gross your guests out with creepy eats by taking finger foods to a more literal place. And don\u2019t skimp on the popcorn. You can leave it plain or take it to the next level with toppings and flavors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Drinks
\n<\/strong>When we get scared, our mouths tend to go completely dry. Supply your guests with slightly scary beverages with creepy garnishes. Try stuffing radishes with olives and freezing them in ice cubes for a new take on, \u201cHere\u2019s looking at you, kid.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just remember, it\u2019s just a bunch of Hocus Pocus<\/em>. The goal is to have fun, and maybe get a little scared. Relax, enjoy good company, and have a good time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
