If you’re living the apartment life, you might think that your space isn’t suited for elaborate Halloween decorations and festivities, but fear not! In this blog, we’ll explore how you can transform your cozy apartment into a spooktacular haven for the season. Let’s dive into the world of Halloween apartment trends, apartment-friendly decor, and exciting activities to make your Sunnyside Village apartment the ultimate Halloween hotspot.

Get in the Halloween Mood

The first step to a hauntingly delightful Halloween at your apartment is setting the mood. Create a bewitching atmosphere by lighting some eerie candles, playing a spooky playlist, and dimming the lights. Pumpkins, both real and artificial, can add a touch of fall and fright to your apartment. Consider carving them or painting them for a personal touch.

Activities for the Season in Your City

Living in Sunnyside Village Apartments means you’re well-connected to your city’s Halloween activities. Explore local haunted houses, attend costume parties, or take a ghost tour. Embrace the community spirit and join your neighbors for a spooky movie night in the common area or a costume contest in the courtyard. Experience the local Halloween scene with visit to popular events such as the Halloween Karaoke Party at 503 Uncorked or the QuarterWorld’s Halloween Bash.

Apartment Halloween Decor

When it comes to apartment Halloween decor, think outside the box. Opt for apartment-friendly decorations like removable wall decals, window clings, and LED string lights. Don’t forget to deck out your door with a Halloween wreath. Embrace your creative side with DIY projects like spider webs made from cheesecloth and paper bats suspended from your ceiling.

Halloween in Clackamas

Halloween is going to be fantastic in 2020, if a little different. Halloween is on a Saturday, there will be a full moon, and people want to celebrate. Sure it’s 2020, so we need to social distance, wear masks of a different sort to help us stay safe, but we can still have a spooky great time. Check out these can’t miss ideas to make Halloween 2020 a hit. Sunnyside Village Apartments is the right place to celebrate. 

How to Decorate Your Apartment

There are so many ways to get your apartment ready for Halloween. We all know it’s important to make a good first impression and this year that’s even truer as most of us will keep trick-or-treaters at a safe distance. Set the stage. Carve creepy pumpkins with stencils and easily available templates. Decorate doors with cut-outs of ghosts, goblins, witches, and more. 

Make sure the neighbors can see some colorful creatures by combining monster cut-outs and contact paper on the windows. For the inside, fairy lights, felt spiders, and glow in the dark skeletons are always hit. It’s the little things that really set the mood. Try the mirror hidden message trick, get some scotch tape and spell out a scary message on your mirror, allow the tape to set and remove. Then run some hot water to reveal hidden messages to your guests.

How to Celebrate at Home

For many of us, celebrating Halloween this year will probably have to be done at home. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to raise goosebumps at home. Start by setting the mood with Halloween baking and some apple cider. Carving pumpkins is always a hit, so each person can get involved in making their ideas come to life.

What’s Halloween without costumes? Make sure to get everyone dressed up and set up a video conferencing call with friends and family so everyone can share the scares. Set up a baby monitor on the porch, so you can have fun interacting with trick-or-treaters. Treats can be in the form of an outdoor haunted house or a video performance through your windows instead of the typical eatable delights.

Movie marathons are great since you can choose movies appropriate to any age group or audience (from Goonies to Friday the 13th, there is something for everyone) and those can be shared from the comfort of your own apartment through a number of popular streaming services (Netflix Party, KAST, YouTube, Discord, Facebook, and more).

Halloween Hotspots in Clackamas

Luckily, stores are open in Clackamas, so you can get what you need for Halloween. Get your costume, makeup, and decorations at Spirit Halloween stores open this year in Portland or Gresham.

If you are looking for a local family treat, then visit Bella Organic Pumpkin Patch and Winery in Portland, where you may enjoy the haunted corn maze, the pumpkin patch, or the farm and vineyard.

If you don’t mind the hour-long drive, then the family may enjoy the outdoor activities at Bauman’s Farm in Gervais from the corn maze to the barnyard bridge or going inside the animal barn while the parents do a little apple tasting and visit the Bauman Cidery. Plus who doesn’t love a pumpkin patch?

Social distancing will definitely make Halloween different this year, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be a fun and safe holiday for everyone. Curbside and at-home delivery make it easier than ever to get the decorations, supplies, and costumes you need to make Halloween a hit. Don’t be afraid to get creative with some seasonal inspiring at-home celebration ideas.
