get your neighbors together and organize a series of festive acrivities with something different at each home. As kids trick-or-treat, they "progress" to the next house, where entertaining surprises wait.

Start the fun at Home #1, where all the kids get ready for the evening. Play haunting music with spooky sound effects to set the mood as they put on costumes and add last-minute touches to their outfits. Set up a makeup and face-painting station where they can add even more fun to their costumes with sticky warts, fake cobwebs and spider stickers. You can also keep a treaure chest of versatile props like foil wands, paper crowns and old sheets to complete your kids' Halloween look. Don't forget to take pictures of your little creatures before they move on to the next stop.

Serve a delicious, kid-friendly dinner at Home #2. Prepare macaroni and cheese, with slimy, long spiral pasta, and serve orange punch in a black cauldron with misty dry ice. Make gingerbread cookies shaped liked black cats and let your guests adorn them with yellow marshmallow eyes and black licorice whiskers. Decorate the table with haunting accents like black plates and cups, cobwebs and creepy rubber bats. Candy-striped candles, kept safely away from the hands and sleeves of your costumed critters, can add a haunting effect to your Halloween feast.

Trick-or-treat your way over to Home #3 and let the ghost stories begin. With all the kids and parents outfitted in their spooky best, gather everyone in the shadows of a big, dark tree outside—or a playroom corner dimly-lit with candles—and tell a haunting Halloween tale. Enlist volunteers to help with sound effects or to tell their own stories. Surround your story space with glowing jack-o-lanterns and dangle paper bag ghosts from the trees or ceiling. After the stories, screen a scary movie. Leave the lights off for extra frights and chills.

Gather together at Home #4, the last stop of the night, where kids can share their trick-or-treating treasures and swap for each other's favorites as they wind down for the evening. If it's cold out, warm their chilled bones with some hot chocolate. Play Halloween party games like pin-the-tail on the black cat and blind man's bluff. Award prizes for spookiest, the most creative, and the most fun costumes. The kids will go home happy and satisfied, each carrying bags filled with only the best candy.
