As you feel the chill air and witness the falling leaves, it’s a clear sign to usher in the spooky Halloween season. You might think that your apartment space can’t accommodate your vision for Halloween, but there are various ways to celebrate. From Halloween apartment decor ideas to apartment-friendly alterations, read on to discover how to transition your ONYX Glendale apartment into a spooky haven.

Get in the Halloween Mood

You must adorn your living space to get into the Halloween spirit. Start by purchasing small pumpkins from your local store and place them outside your apartment. Personalize them by melting crayon wax on the sides, using a low-heat blow dryer. To avoid messing up the floor, put down some newspaper to catch rogue drippings.

Activities For the Season in Your City

Halloween should be a season of fun, and what’s more fun than looking for things to do with friends and family? You can play traditional Halloween games and excursions to a local haunted house like The Backwoods Maze. This haunted house offers an exciting experience for Halloween fanatics, with various spooky activities.

If you have a tight budget, you can stay home and share scary ghost stories and silly Halloween jokes with friends. This also lets you head to the kitchen for delicious Halloween treats. You can add fun to your casual gathering by preparing scary Halloween appetizers, like breadstick rattlers.

You can also ensure your party goes on all night by rocking Halloween songs. Create a perfect playlist, ranging from the top pop songs like “Zombie” by the Cranberries to haunting theme music that sets the mood of popular Halloween movies.

Fulfilling Your Halloween Desires

Creatively incorporating Halloween apartment trends allows you to embrace the Halloween spirit into your apartment. Use apartment Halloween decor that is apartment-friendly to ensure you don’t alter your living space but achieve your desired results. Enjoy your apartment living experience during the spooky season.

Halloween in Glendale

Halloween is going to be fantastic in 2020, if a little different. Halloween is on a Saturday, there will be a full moon, and people want to celebrate. Sure it’s 2020, so we need to social distance, wear masks of a different sort to help us stay safe, but we can still have a spooky great time. Check out these can’t miss ideas to make Halloween 2020 a hit. Onyx Glendale is the right place to celebrate. 

How to Decorate Your Apartment

There are so many ways to get your apartment ready for Halloween. We all know it’s important to make a good first impression and this year that’s even truer as most of us will keep trick-or-treaters at a safe distance. Set the stage. Carve creepy pumpkins with stencils and easily available templates. Decorate doors with cut-outs of ghosts, goblins, witches, and more.  Make sure the neighbors can see some colorful creatures by combining monster cut-outs and contact paper on the windows. For the inside, fairy lights, felt spiders, and glow in the dark skeletons are always hit. It’s the little things that really set the mood. Try the mirror hidden message trick, get some scotch tape and spell out a scary message on your mirror, allow the tape to set and remove. Then run some hot water to reveal hidden messages to your guests.

How to Celebrate at Home

For many of us, celebrating Halloween this year will probably have to be done at home. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to raise goosebumps at home. Start by setting the mood with Halloween baking and some apple cider. Carving pumpkins is always a hit, so each person can get involved in making their ideas come to life. What’s Halloween without costumes? Make sure to get everyone dressed up and set up a video conferencing call with friends and family so everyone can share the scares. Set up a baby monitor on the porch, so you can have fun interacting with trick-or-treaters. Treats can be in the form of an outdoor haunted house or a video performance through your windows instead of the typical eatable delights. Movie marathons are great since you can choose movies appropriate to any age group or audience (from Goonies to Friday the 13th, there is something for everyone) and those can be shared from the comfort of your own apartment through a number of popular streaming services (Netflix Party, KAST, YouTube, Discord, Facebook, and more).

Halloween Hotspots in Glendale and Los Angeles

Luckily, stores are open in Glendale, so you can get what you need for Halloween. If you need costume, makeup, and decorations, there are Spirit Halloween stores open this year in Los Angeles and the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios is canceled, but CityWalk is open for dining and shopping. Fans of Stranger Things have the opportunity to visit a haunting drive-thru experience. Tickets are steep, starting at $59 for a carload of two on the visit to the Upside Down and Hawkins. The experience is about an hour and is located in Downtown LA. 

Social distancing will definitely make Halloween different this year, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be a fun and safe holiday for everyone. Curbside and at-home delivery make it easier than ever to get the decorations, supplies, and costumes you need to make Halloween a hit. Don’t be afraid to get creative with some seasonal inspiring at-home celebration ideas.
