Family Halloween Ideas

For the past few years, my 13-year-old daughter and I have volunteered in the haunted house at our school’s Halloween carnival. I am a witch and she is a gruesome head on a platter. When unsuspecting guests enter the room, I pull the lid off the tray to reveal my daughter’s ghoulish-looking head.

This is one of the best bonding times I have each year with my daughter (she is a hormonal teenager after all). We wait in anticipation for our next victims. We laugh after they leave. We pride ourselves on how loud we can make them scream.

It’s amazing how great your costume can be if everyone chips in.
