September 19, 2016 — Twice every season, I offer up 25 links that will make your next hour or three the most Halloween it can be. Think of it as the Halloween version of Santa Claus sending customers to other department stores in Miracle on 34th Street.
This time, I decided to theme the first installment instead of just listing links to random and varied Halloween content throughout the web. That theme? Stuff to do during the season. Some of the links below are general activities and some are place-specific. But even those place-specific ones more than likely have local analogs near you that can be substituted. So on your marks, get set…Halloween.
