8 Halloween Activities For People Who Hate To Be Scared

If you're anything like me, you have a lot of mixed feelings about Halloween. It is a great time for fall activities, cute decorations, and lots of candy, but it's also prime time for being so scared that you'll pee your pants. I absolutely hate to be scared, so haunted houses and other scary things are most definitely not my go-to activities in October. If you also hate to be scared, here are eight activities you can participate in this Halloween season without having to worry about keeping your pants dry.

1. Paint or carve a pumpkin

What better way to get into the Halloween spirit than to carve a pumpkin? This is one of my ways to get just a little bit spooky. If you're not into carving a spooky pumpkin, there are plenty of cute options as well!

2. Hand out candy to cute little kids

What better way to spend Halloween than handing out candy to cute kids? You get to admire all the cute costumes and you might even get to eat all the leftover candy.

3. Watch "Halloweentown" or another classic Halloween movie

You can't go wrong with a movie—just make sure it's not a scary one!

4. "Boo" someone

Spread Halloween cheer and put together a cute basket of Halloween goodies, leave it on a friend's doorstep, ring the doorbell and run!

5. Make Halloween desserts

Spend some time baking and create some cute Halloween themed cookies, cupcakes, and other yummy desserts. You can't go wrong with cute and yummy desserts!

6. Create some not-so-spooky Halloween crafts

Why decorate your house with blood, creepy figures, and statues that pop out at you when you can create your own cute and friendly monsters?

7. Throw a costume party

While all your friends are off at haunted houses and watching scary movies, get your pals that are also too scared to function and have a costume party, complete with a costume contest, food, games, and more! You can't go wrong with some classic Halloween fun!

8. Visit a pumpkin patch or apple orchard

Get a head start on your fall activities before it gets too cold, or go pick out your own pumpkins to carve for Halloween!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
