Spooky, scary & safe! Your guide to a frighteningly fun Halloween 2020

Giant bags of fun-sized candy, pop-up costume stores, pumpkin-spiced everything ... It can all only mean one thing: It's Halloween time! And while this spooky season will certainly be like none before it, there are still plenty of creative ways — some in-person, some virtual — to make this the much-needed escape from reality we could all use right now. So here's our guide to celebrating Halloween in 2020. All treats, no tricks! Get Outta My Screams, Get Into My Car Great news for your car: It's getting a front row seat to some of the biggest frights of the season. That's because this year, many immersive horror attractions are taking a cue from curbside food service and bringing the IRL frights directly to your car. There are spooky spins on the classic drive-in like Joe Bob's Haunted Drive-In, a horror film fest in Gardena, California that ups the scare factor by adding a live zombie invasion to the mix. Then there's the new kind of haunted attraction that USA Today is calling "the pandemic-friendly event of the spooky season": the Halloween drive-thru. Take The Horrorland in Miramar, Florida, a totally immersive haunted-house-you-actually-drive-through experiences that'll give you and your car nightmares 'til Thanksgiving. Joe Bob's Haunted Drive-In Halloween Haunt Experience The Roadium Drive-In (Torrance) & The Rose Bowl (Pasadena) $69 - $99 $119 The Horrorland: Drive-Thru Haunted Attraction Miramar Regional Park — Miramar, FL Sold Out Nightmare on Your Street The CDC may have just been a fun set piece on The Walking Dead back in 2010, but this year they're actually weighing in on how to safely celebrate Halloween — including a reminder that "[a] low-risk option for the night is to have all activities held virtually with friends and family." Luckily, if you're looking to keep the frights a little closer to home this Halloween, there are lots of ways to have some interactive fun. Learn how to craft your own Halloween-themed beverages in a virtual cocktail class — or turn up the horror with an interactive online murder mystery like Horror on the Haunted House Tour or Camp Stabbawei, where your choices determine how the show (and maybe even your virtual life!) will end. Virtual Cocktail Class: Halloween Drinks Zoom Stream $7.99 $9.99 Horror on the Haunted House Tour: A Murder Mystery Party Game Online/At Home $19.50 $39 Camp Stabbawei: A Seize the Show Online Experience Online Stream $12.99 Stream 'Til You Scream This year's Halloween offers a candy-cornucopia of spooky shows, tours and experiences you can stream from home. You can dim the lights and embark on a haunted history tour from the safety of your couch, like this spooky journey into a cemetery built beneath the Lincoln Park Zoo, or add some magic to your evening, like this Halloween-themed show from illusionist Richard Preston. And since there's nothing scarier than your imagination, why not get your heart racing with an internet-age spin on the classic radio play, like this bone-chilling production of Dracula, or a horror audio experience like Psycho Clan's Scare Your Friend, which brings the "blindfolded haunted house" concept (yes, apparently that's a thing!) to your home.

But there's still fun ways to keep your whole coven entertained, like hosting a virtual costume party or an at-home candy hunt. You can even let the little ones stay up past their bedtime and stream the benefit concert presentation of the songs from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, Disney's classic animated film, as interpreted by some of Broadway's most ghoulishly talented artists. And you can help them unleash their inner Edward Gorey with a Halloween-themed online art class — or their inner Isaac Newton with an interactive science spooktacular, like this one hosted by fellow kid-approved science guy Steve Spangler.

Three of the more unusual spooky season in-person activities we just had to share: 1.) The Crimes of Passion Interactive Halloween Exhibit at the Los Angeles Museum of Love, which lets you experience "dark activities that involve deceit, depravity and competition." 2.) The Haunted Halloween Pizza Tour of Boston, which mixes a walking tour of the city's haunted sites with a taste of three of its best slices. And 3.) The Howl-o-Ween Doggie Costume Party Cruise, a chance to show off your costumed pups ... while sailing around Boston Harbor, of course. (Boston, we need to talk.)
