How to Celebrate Haunted Refrigerator Night

1

Decorate your refrigerator

Take out all the food and decorate your refrigerator in a spooky haunted theme. Cover it in spider webs and put glow-in-the-dark skull and crossbones stickers inside.

2

Throw a Frightening Fridge Party

Invite all your friends to come over and dress up like their favorite creepy creature. Have them bring their own scary snacks, like "eyeball" cupcakes and "bloody" juice, and play games to see who can survive the night.

3

Write a Haunted Refrigerator Story

Choose one of the items from your refrigerator, like a jar of pickles or a carton of eggs, and write a scary story about it coming alive and causing havoc in your kitchen.

4

Make a Haunted Refrigerator Costume

Create your own unique costume inspired by a haunted refrigerator. Cut out two large circles from cardboard and use fabric paint to draw on designs like the shelves and door handles. Then wear it proudly on Halloween night!

5

Go Ghost Hunting in Your Refrigerator

Turn off all the lights, get out your flashlight, and go exploring inside your refrigerator for any spooky spirits or ghastly ghouls that may be lurking inside.

Why We Love Haunted Refrigerator Night

A

It's fun for the whole family

Haunted Refrigerator Night is the perfect excuse to get the whole family together and spook each other out! It's a great way to find out what your family members are like at their scariest, while also creating some unforgettable memories. Plus, it's much less dangerous than going to an actual haunted house or amusement park!

B

It doesn't cost anything

Unlike most Halloween activities, Haunted Refrigerator Night is the ultimate budget activity. All you need is imagination and a few household items like glow sticks or lights. That means no expensive costumes or special decorations - just plenty of fun and scares!

C

It helps kids learn about food safety

In addition to being great entertainment, Haunted Refrigerator Night also serves as a teaching opportunity when it comes to food safety. By playing this hilarious game, children can learn how quickly bacteria grows on foods that have been left in the fridge too long and how important it is to store things properly.
