Halloween is one of the most popular holidays in the United States. Children and adults alike love to put on fancy dress and have some spooky fun for the night.

So on Halloween, the kids will want to get every piece of the candy they can from your neighbors, but what do you do if it rains on Halloween? OneHowTo has some Halloween suggestions for you in case the weather is bad.

Carry An Umbrella

This seems like the simplest suggestion, but you would be surprised at how many people simply miss this idea. If you check the weather report for Halloween night and rain is in the prediction, grab an umbrella or two so that you can stay dry and that your costume will stay looking its best! If you know there's rain forecast, why not get the kids to help decorate some umbrellas with a few spooky accessories?

Wear a Weatherproof Costume

Why not try a weatherproof costume or wear a costume that incorporates an umbrella into it? Perhaps you can dress like Mary Poppins and carry an umbrella as a prop. This will make your costume more legitimate and you can stay dry. You could also dress like a life-size jellyfish. This costume requires a large umbrella and it looks really great when made the correct way. So one way to stay dry is with a waterproof Halloween costume idea!

Stay In and Watch Scary Movies

A lot of people love the idea of binge watching scary movies on Halloween. If it is raining too much for you to go out, stay indoors and watch the scariest movies you can find. There are quite a few that will tingle your spine such as the Halloween series, the Friday the 13th series, The Exorcist, House of 1000 Corpses, and any of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre films.

There are quite a few options when it comes to scary movies and perhaps you can find some that you have never seen. Get the popcorn out and enjoy your night on the couch if it's bad weather on Halloween.

Go Out to Eat

Going out to your favorite restaurant in full costume is fun to do on Halloween if it rains. Many corporate chains give kids a free meal if they are in costume along with candy and different treats. If the kids want to go out and do something fun and you want to avoid the rain, eating out is a great option for spending Halloween together.
