Suggestions for a memorable Halloween night

a Halloween at home

With the pandemic still raging, fun activities are limited. This is necessary for everyone's health and safety. If you think Halloween at home is boring, Travellive can suggest some activities for you to do at home to make the holiday interesting and special.

Host a horror-themed house party

For Halloween this year, instead of being limited to activities that require moving around, we can absolutely choose to have a party at home. Organize a cozy little party with family or close friends and make “bloody” pumpkin soup, ghost-faced cakes, skull candy, etc.

To make pumpkin soup, it is very simple, culinary blogs on Google can all guide you. When it comes to the "blood" part, we can cleverly mix red food coloring with light cream and spread it on the surface of the soup. As for ghost cakes, just make any cake you like, and use the topping to decorate it into weird faces. With skull candy, you need to be a little skillful. If you have a skull-shaped candy, jelly, or ice cream mold, everything will become much simpler.

Make your own drinks at home

Black Martini, or Death in the Afternoon - the favorite ghostly drink of writer Ernest Hemingway..., there are many delicious and eye-catching drinks for you to show off your creativity on this occasion. You can refer to the listhomemade halloween drinksRecommended by Travellive, with enough options for wine lovers and sweet tooth kids.

Design your own costumes and dress up your friends

If you have a knack for crafting, designing your own Halloween-themed costume is simple and easy. With hundreds of options and suggestions for a dark, scary costume, plus your own creativity, you will surely have surprising results.

In addition, we can buy a makeup set with dark and spooky tones, to freely transform ourselves and our friends. A suggestion for this makeup is to be a little more bold, choose unconventional tones and the most horrifying styles possible: a mouth full of blood, or a scary face...

Play Halloween games

One of the traditional games of Halloween is the game ofDunking, also known asApple bobbing. Dunking players must use their mouths to lift an apple from a basin of water, or to pull an apple off a string. In some spooky and dangerous versions, players must even hold a sharp fork in their mouth and try to stab it into the apple.

Milk cakeis also a very familiar Halloween game. Players will write letters in milk on white paper, fold it and put it in walnut shells. After baking, the letters will turn brown, and each player will participate in writing their own destiny for the coming year: rich, poor, hungry, single, married...

If you play at home, you should choose games that are both spooky and reasonable and safe. Do not choose games that are too far from reality for fun.

Watch a movie

If you are an introvert and don't like to do too much exercise during a break, choose some really spooky movies to watch during Halloween.

This year, instead of re-opening familiar names like The Shining (1980), The Witch (2015), Get Out (2017)..., try exploring movies with slightly different themes - life and death, people and souls - through suggestions from Travellive inthis article.

well, a bustling Halloween

Of course, Halloween is still an ideal occasion for us to gather with friends, enjoy the street atmosphere and pamper ourselves with special services from restaurants, bars,...

First, start with a big Halloween-themed meal at a restaurant that has a special program. You can refer to the restaurantJW Cafépart of the 5-star JW Marriott hotel, with a Halloween-themed buffet on October 31. If you have small children, you can also let them play in the restaurant's Halloween-themed decoration.

After you've warmed your stomach, your choice of entertainment will be more diverse, because there are many bars that currently have their own programs for Halloween night. Si Cuisine & Mixology (18 Hang Bai) with a costume party and vibrant music (with many games with big prizes), The6 Cocktail Bar (6 Trang Tien) with many service promotions during Halloween, or Ne Boong-ke (12 Cua Dong) - if you want a quiet Halloween space with premium cocktails,...

Or, traditional but never "out of fashion" - instead of attending bustling parties, you can take a "Halloween tour" along Hang Ma ancient street. Perhaps no place shows the spirit of Halloween more clearly than Hang Ma - the street is covered in orange, red, black, displaying pumpkins carved with ghost faces, or zombie-shaped toys... You don't necessarily need to have a need to shop when coming to this street, just rediscovering the Capital after the lockdown days is completely worth it, right?

But if you can, buy some really cute gifts for... someone else. A box of skull-printed cookies, a witch's robe, whatever the gift, the recipient will surely be happier every time they remember Halloween this year. Who says Halloween is all about horror?
