Trick-or-treating is great and all, but it has some setbacks: It only really works in neighborhoods where houses are in walking distance from each other. Those who don’t want to anticipate have to find some way of signaling that they’re not opening the door (and risk the judgement of all those around them). The houses can be decorated, but they can’t become characters in their own right.
Enter trunk-or-treating. For those who don’t know, a trunk-or-treat event has participants gather in one central location (usually a parking lot). The cars get just as decked out as the kids, and then everyone goes from decorated trunk to decorated trunk to pick up some candy (and admire the creativity on display).
The only hard part is figuring out a theme. These trunk-or-treat ideas run the gamut from totally cute to truly spooky. Some are inspired by classic childhood books, others come from famous movies and TV shows and others just make use of the Halloween atmosphere of skeletons or monsters. The one thing they all have in common is they look great as the backdrop of an Instagram picture, so get ready to pose!
And if you’re looking for what to wear yourself, we have ideas for costumes for kids, family costumes and group costumes that can be worn to your trunk-or-treat event, too.
