2024 Halloween festivities in and around the metro
Oct 29, 2024
OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) - If you are looking for the right spot to enjoy your Halloween festivities this year in and around the metro, here is a list of ideas and safety tips for those who have the courage to go outside into abandoned fields, buildings and eerie pumpkin patches!
According to Safekids.org here are some Halloween safety tips to keep in mind before you head out the door:
Walk Safely
Cross the street at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks. Look left, right and left again when crossing and keep looking as you cross.
Put electronic devices down, keep heads up and walk, don’t run, across the street.
Teach children to make eye contact with drivers before crossing in front of them.
Always walk on sidewalks or paths. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic as far to
the left as possible. Children should walk on direct routes with the fewest street crossings.
Watch for cars that are turning or backing up. Teach children to never dart out into the street or cross between parked cars.
Join kids under age 12 for trick-or-treating. If kids are mature enough to be out without supervision, tell them to stick to familiar areas that are well lit and trick-or-treat in groups.
Costumes for a Safe Halloween
Decorate costumes and bags with reflective tape or stickers and, if possible, choose light colors.
Choose face paint and makeup whenever possible instead of masks, which can obstruct a child’s vision.
Have kids carry glow sticks or flashlights to help them see and be seen by drivers.
When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips and falls.
Drive Extra Safely on Halloween
Slow down and be especially alert in residential neighborhoods. Children are excited on Halloween and may move in unpredictable ways.
Take extra time to look for kids at intersections, on medians and on curbs.
Enter and exit driveways and alleys slowly and carefully.
Get rid of any distractions - like your phone - in your car so you can concentrate on the road and your surroundings.
Turn your headlights on earlier in the day to spot children from greater distances.
Popular trick-or-treating hours are 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Be especially alert for kids during those hours.

THE HAUNTED TRAIL was created, for entertainment purposes out of its unique terrain of old Indian hunting grounds, coyote killing fields, deep swampy woods, and snake-infested creek.
THE HAUNTED TRAIL takes about 20-25 minutes to walk, taking you through battlefields, a New Orleans-style, above-ground cemetery, a vampires castle, and a winding spider's lair. But, that's only the beginning.
You'll descend into the deep woods where all kinds of foul creatures forage for their next prey.
