HALLOWEEN, like everything else in the pandemic era, won’t be the same this year. While Covid has put a damper on some plans, it’s also inspired creative workarounds: Haunt your home with offbeat skeletons, install a ghost on a zip line to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters—or trick out your living room into a cinema for scary movies.
In this collection of articles published over the past weeks and months, we explain how revelers of all ages can celebrate Halloween. Prepare pumpkin quesadillas, make coconut-seasoned popcorn and keep the horror tasteful with decorating tips such as filling a punch bowl with dry ice and floating eyeballs. An added treat this year: You get an extra hour of sleep Sunday, when much of the U.S. will “fall back” to standard time from daylight savings time.
