Make October a spooky-season countdown. National Horror Movie Day sets the mood, then Halloween caps it with costumes and glowing jack-o’-lanterns.
October starts with bare porches and undecided costumes, then slowly adds pumpkins, movie monsters and suspicious amounts of candy. The big finish is Halloween on October 31. Plan a costume and head out trick-or-treating, welcome friends for a costume party, or stay home with a carved jack-o’-lantern glowing nearby. Cobwebs and spooky lights can turn even one corner of a room into party headquarters.

The countdown gets properly creepy on October 23 with National Horror Movie Day. Dim the lights, make popcorn and pick a horror movie marathon that matches your preferred level of hiding behind a cushion. An escape room or haunted house offers the same suspense with considerably more walking.

On October 26, National Pumpkin Day moves the fun from the screen to the doorstep. Pick a pumpkin and carve a jack-o’-lantern for Halloween, then have pumpkin pie or a pumpkin-spice coffee. A lopsided grin still looks excellent when lit, so there is little reason to fuss over perfect teeth.

October 30 supplies the snack table with National Candy Corn Day. Put out a bowl for a taste test, or mix the candy with roasted peanuts for a sweet-and-salty snack.
