Halloween is one of the best holidays to have fun with friends and family! You can make spooky foods and drinks, putting up all the scary and creepy decoration and, of course, you can't forget all the scary movies. But there are so many activities college students can do even if they are on a budget.
1. Zombie Laser Tag

A popular attraction this year is zombie laser tag. This is a great way to get a group of friends together and hunt down some zombies. This has the creepy feel to it and makes it fun when you are with friends. It's the perfect late-night activity. And when you are in a group, can be a budget-friendly activity.
2. Escape Rooms

You can do this activity with friends or strangers. Escape rooms have become very popular in the last few years. Some think it's because of the popular "Saw" films. Finding clues under pressure, teaming up with friends or strangers to escape a locked room… all the makings of a great Halloween experience. Another budget-friendly activity with friends.
3. Horror Movie Marathon

Horror movies are a staple for the Halloween season, which is the whole month of October. Others would say that the Halloween season starts in September. If you don't like watching scary movies by yourself, then invite some friends over for a movie marathon, and watch some of the greats like:
1. Pyscho 7. Nightmare on Elm Street
2. The Halloween Series 8. Carrie
3. IT the original and remake 9. Hocus Pocus
4. Sweeney Todd 10. Beetlejuice
5. The Omen 11. The Ring
6. Zodiac 12. American Psycho
4. Halloween Parties

Everyone loves dressing up and going to Halloween parties, and most colleges will throw some of the best ones. So, grab a group of friends and go to as many Halloween parties as you can. Be safe and responsible, but have fun with your friends.
5. Trick or Treating

If you want to get in-touch with your inner child, then dress up, grab some friends or even a younger sibling and go out trick or treating. This can just be fun walking around the neighborhood dressed up and being a kid again, and making memories with friends and family. And you can make a costume on a budget.
