10 Things to Put on Your Scary Season Bucket List

Boo! Scary season has crept onto our calendars once again, and we’re ready for pumpkin lattes, costume-making parties, and ghost stories. Are you haunting your local pumpkin patch this season? Stocking up on witch hats for your next coven meeting? We’re making the most of the season with our favorite ice cream and a whole lot of witchy whimsey. Here are 10 things to add to your scary season bucket list this year:

  1. Visit a Haunted House, Bridge, or Abandoned Orphanage

    Can you catch a scary vibe? Does the ghost of a Victorian child who died tragically appear? Record your findings in your ghost journal.

  2. Make an Official Ranking of All Your Favorite Horror Movies

    Rewatch all your favorites and decide which ones are truly s-tier. (Movie-inspired milkshakes highly recommended.)

  3. Scary Sundae Night

    All the flavors, only the creepiest toppings. Who can come up with the cleverest combination?

  4. Pumpkin Patch Time!

    Grab an on-the-go shake and hit the pumpkin patch! Keep searching until you find the very best one, because…

  5. Carve Pumpkins

    Most creative jack-o-lantern wins! Wins what, you ask? Glory. Bragging rights. And dibs on all the best chunks in the next pint.

  6. Foliage Photo Contest

    Who can take the best photo of the beautiful fall foliage? Bonus points if you catch a ghost in the shot!

  7. Make Pumpkin Bread

    Then invite the crew over for a taste test and to see which Ben & Jerry’s flavor goes best with it.

  8. Devious Decor

    Decorate your porch, door, or steps with the scariest ghosts, ghouls, and witchery you can handle! If you scare a few neighborhood kids, you know you’ve done it right.

  9. Fall Beverage Hangout

    Invite some friends over for pumpkin lattes, chai tea, apple cider, and all your other seasonal hot beverage favorites. Swap ghost stories while you sip!

  10. Scary Scavenger Hunt

    Make a scavenger hunt around your town featuring all the ghostiest stops. Haunted bridges, ghost-infested abandoned buildings, the local witch meet-up. End at the Scoop Shop to celebrate your scary season prowess!
