HALLOWEEN FOR ADULTS BY E T H A N MARSHALL We’re not even halfway through the month of October, but people are already setting up their Halloween decorations, shopping for candy and picking out their costumes. It’s not just the kids who make preparations for Halloween. Halloween is no longer just a holiday for children. Some homeowners take pride in having the scariest or most-decorated home in their neighborhood. Additionally, getting the most trick-or-treaters in their area is viewed as a badge of honor by some people. As for the kids, it’s not just the trick-or-treating that they may be anticipating. The time friends spend traveling around the neighborhood together is a great experience. In fact, for some groups, the fun may begin before trick-ortreating. For example, my friends and I would play a football game at the neighborhood park before we went trick-or-treating. Some groups of friends may go to one of their homes to spend the rest of the night watching scary movies or playing games with each other, like bobbing for apples. Halloween is a wonderful night to just get together as a group and have fun.

Bayville Scream Park is a must-visit destination for those interested in going to haunted houses, especially during the Halloween season. Throughout the month, there are Halloween-themed festivals and fairs that will be occurring or have already happened across Long Island.
