Call 866-678-4172With Halloween quickly approaching and Americans across the nation practicing social distancing, this year’s trick or treating festivities may look a little different this year. The yearly tradition of kids dressing up as their favorite characters and going door to door to collect candy may not happen due to safety precautions, but that shouldn’t stop the fun!
If there’s one thing America learned while being quarantined is that fun happens anywhere, and celebrating Halloween is no different. To keep the spooky season alive, we’ve compiled our top 6 tips to do this holiday with loved ones that we’re sure you’ll enjoy.
Halloween Candy Hunt
One of the easiest ways to keep your family safe while quarantined during Halloween is to find activities with little to no human interaction. While this may sound counterintuitive to the Halloween tradition, fanatics of all ages can still experience the same fun as usual trick-or-treating.
Host your very first Halloween candy hunt—hide different treats throughout your home or backyard with ten minutes set on the clock. In many ways, this game is similar to Easter egg hunts but just spookier.

To make things a little more festive, decorate your yard like a graveyard to get into the spirit or use glow in the dark eggs for the night time. Decorating your home similar to haunted houses allows your loved ones to experience the full effect of Halloween.
Attend A Trunk-or-Treat
Over the past decade, many families have searched for safer alternatives than going house-to-house during Halloween. While trick or treating in the neighborhood is fun and full of surprises, there are hidden dangers that arise on this night.
One of the most popular ways that families safely trick or treat now is by hosting trunk or treats. A trunk or treat event consists of parking your car in a parking lot alongside each other and decorating your trunk with Halloween decorations. Kids will go from car to car and collect candy without having to visit houses that they may not feel comfortable going to. Families across the nation are utilizing their cars to provide kids the chance to collect tons of goodies this year.

Create A Halloween Scavenger Hunt In Your House
Creating a Halloween themed scavenger hunt in your house is an easy way to have fun while limiting human interaction. The possibilities are endless with a scavenger hunt, especially one that involves a theme such as Halloween.
A Halloween scavenger hunt can be taken to the next level by having your kids dress up and search for small toys or candy around the house.
For younger kids, simply doing an easter egg style hunt may be the best option. For older kids, you can leave clues to find the next candy or toy to make things a little more exciting. There are many resources online for scavenger hunts online that can be modified to fit Halloween themes.
Use Your Car To Have Some Halloween Fun
Visit A Drive Through Haunted House
Visiting a haunted house is a timeless Halloween tradition for those who are a little older. With social distancing restrictions in place, most haunted houses had to adapt to new approaches, such as drive-through haunted houses. A drive-through haunted house is a place where you can stay in your car and still experience the frights of the haunted house staff.
Drive Through Halloween Themed Neighborhoods
There are still other ways to use your car to get out and experience the Halloween season outside of drive-throughs and scavenger hunts. Load up the family or friends in your car and drive around neighborhoods that have their houses decorated for Halloween, similar to what people do for Christmas with Christmas lights.
Check Out A Halloween Movie At A Drive-In Theater
Last but not least, if you have a drive in a movie theatre near your home, check to see if they are showing any Halloween movies. Classic thrillers are usually shown at drive-in theatres during the weeks leading up to Halloween. Have the kids dress up in their costumes and drive through Halloween themed neighborhoods on the way to or from the theatre for even more fun.
With the cooler weather approaching, performing essential car maintenance matters that cars have been sheltering in place for long periods. Idle cars are more vulnerable to sudden breakdowns with lack of use and nothing is scarier than an expensive car repair bill. Our experts compiled a checklist to perform this fall to ensure your car is ready to hit the road.
Most people don’t realize that when your auto manufacturer’s warranty expires, you’re responsible for covering any mechanical breakdowns, and auto insurance only covers collision damage. On top of this, as a vehicle ages, the likelihood of part failure increases more and more, meaning if you don’t have an extended car warranty, you’re at risk for paying hefty out-of-pocket repair costs in the long run.
