Netflix Teleparty
Netflix will be offering up some Halloween gems to choose from this season. Have you seen Hubie Halloween yet? Adam Sandler doesn’t disappoint! Check out the free Netflix extension that lets you start, stop and pause a movie so you can watch it with friends or family – remotely!

Inspiration abounds when it comes to making a like-worthy TikTok. Show off your epic dance moves for the official Halloween dance challenge! Just grab a costume, your favorite candy and don’t just stand there… bust a move!
Scavenger Hunt House
Find inspiration in Halloween movies, music and more! Create different theme rooms throughout the house and send the kids on a scavenger hunt for fun swag. Hide candy, toys and prizes or even make some gift certificates to stay up late, choose the movie or eat an extra piece of candy. Keep the big kids engaged by including QR codes and pic challenges!
Halloween Piñata
Here’s a fun way for the kids to get candy safely! Add some Halloween tunes and turn your evening into a family game night with the piñata as the grand finale!
Virtual Mystery Party
Ever cracked a murder case? Here’s your chance. Go all-out with an online murder mystery party! Invite your friends and fam to don costumes and join in the fun. Design your own party or sign up for one online.
Creature Feature
Celebrate your way with a late-night creature feature! Curate a must-see movie list of your top 3 favorites and pull an all-nighter. After all, it’s Halloweekend! (Just don’t forget the candy!)
Trick or Treat Drive By
Take a ride on over to visit friends and fam in costume! Honk, text or shout upon arrival and deliver some treats or tricks in costume to your fave folks!
Trick-or-Treat in Reverse
Get the kids all decked out in their costume of choice and hang out with them in the front yard as neighbors walk or drive by and deliver candy!
Costume HalloWeek
Fully embrace your inner character and dress up to show your Halloween spirit throughout the entire week leading up to the BIG night! Friends and family will have a blast running errands, walking the dog or joining a Zoom meeting … in costume!
Neighborhood Pub Crawl
For all the late-night shenanigan seekers who are over the moon excited about some much deserved socialization! Set up driveway stations with Halloween libations and reconnect with your neighborhood pals!
Candy Chute
Better than a game of Chutes and Ladders, the ultra creative Candy Chute was a media favorite last year and for good reason! Play it safe and have some fun with your very own candy delivery system. Let your creativity run wild this Halloweekend and theme it out!
Yeet the Treats
What’s a YEET? This trendy new term means to throw (something) forcefully in a specified direction. So get the neighborhood on board to Yeet the Treats! Relive the good old days of parade floats throwing candy to kids … only this time, homeowners can yeet candy from 6 feet away as costumed kids safely traverse the sidewalks.
Neighborhood Parade
Organize a neighborhood costume parade where the route is predetermined and marked to maintain safe distances between participants. Extra safety precautions can include sanitize stations, yellow caution tape, 6ft sidewalk stickers/tape, age group signs and more!
Family pet parade
Talk about a new tradition – take to the streets with your furry friends and take part in a social distancing pet parade! Dog treats go to the best costume!
Face Mask Party
Order up a bunch of plain face masks and have yourself a paint party! Decorate, doodle and bedazzle your way to some snazzy new face masks to wear this fall.
