What do YOU do for October/Halloween?

Halloween is inspiring me to clean my house. You can't decorate a garbage dump.

I've been thinking a lot about how I can make this October/Halloween as awesome as possible. I have a few kiddie activities planned throughout the month for my nephews, and I want to get them started on horror. They're in elementary school, they're old enough.

Naturally, I love binging horror in October like anyone else, and I will do that, but I need to engage in some real world traditional Halloween shennanigans. I'm even getting a Halloween costume.

Now dare I ask...

Do you have any seasonal traditions? Do you have October activities you strive to accomplish? What would your ideal Halloween be?
