Share Spooky Campfire Stories
If you have ever been to summer camp or gathered around a campfire with friends and family, you’ve most likely shared stories that send shivers down your spine. During Halloween time in Broken Bow, we dare you to share your spookiest stories. Whether you are sharing stories from Alvin Schwartz’s “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” or a story you crafted on the spot, there’s no better Halloween activity. Make sure to sleep with a night light on because you never know what’s lurking around outdoors.
Enjoy A Scary Movie Marathon
Sometimes there is nothing better than a movie night complete with a delicious spread of snacks and drinks. During your upcoming visit to Broken Bow, we invite you to make yourself at home in one of our vacation rentals. Inside our properties are spacious sofas and large flat-screen televisions perfect for streaming scary movies all night long. If the weather allows it, crack open the windows and let the night breeze send a chill through the air. Be sure to pop popcorn so you have something to anxiously munch on during the movie.
Have A Pumpkin Carving Contest
There’s nothing that screams family fun more than carving a unique pumpkin while watching Hocus Pocus. This timeless activity is a great time to get creative and see who in the family has the best carving skills. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert carver, there are plenty of designs to take your pumpkins to the next level. For those looking to carve a scary pumpkin, a few designs to consider are spiders, witches, ghosts, and monsters full of teeth. But if you would rather carve a pumpkin on the lighter side, a few favorite designs are goofy smiles, Mickey Mouse, a moon, candy corn, and stars brightening up the night. Regardless of what design you choose, it will look great on your front porch!
