Imagine it: the full moon rises, and the supernatural comes to life on Hallowe’en night. If ghouls, ghosts, and monsters really roamed the streets, here’s how to survive:
- Stay in Groups – Safety in numbers. Stick with your friends or family, especially if you encounter anything… unusual.
- Don’t Split Up – Classic horror movie mistake: Never go off alone. Whether it’s trick-or-treating or checking out a haunted house, always keep an eye on your group.
- Know the Monsters – Different creatures have different weaknesses. Zombies? Aim for the head. Vampires? Don’t invite them in. Werewolves? Stay inside during the full moon.
- Carry Protection – Garlic, salt, silver, or holy water—keep these on hand, just in case. Every monster has a weakness, and you need to be ready.
- Trust Your Instincts – If something feels off, it probably is. Listen to your gut and avoid suspicious characters or creepy situations.
- Secure Your Home – Keep your house locked down. That means securing windows, doors, and hiding any potential entry points (especially if you’re dealing with werewolves or witches).
- Have an Escape Plan – Know your exits. Whether you’re facing a haunted house or just running from a creepy neighbor, have a safe route out.
- Don’t Forget the Treats – The best way to make sure you’re not on a monster’s radar? Keep a stash of candy to offer as a distraction.
Surviving Hallowe’en night isn’t about bravery—it’s about being smart. Stick to these tips, and you just might make it through the spookiest night of the year.
