Step 2Shop for candy and decorations
I love Halloween pretty much because I love chocolate candy, and Halloween is essentially an excuse to eat obscene amounts of candy. So rather than relying on your neighbors to supply you with your favorite candy, shop on your own for at least two big bags of candy.
If you live in a neighborhood with a lot of dogs, you should also pick up a bag of dog treats. I live in the dog capital of San Francisco, where dog treats are a must have.
Most of the bodegas in your neighborhood probably sell candy and dog treats. But they generally don't sell Halloween decorations, so you'll need to visit your local party store, or, if need be, your local chain drugstore. I bought my candy and dog treats at the bodega down the block and, though I checked a bunch of other shops, ended up buying decorations at Walgreens.
Since you'll be setting up outside, be sure to buy decorations that don't require plugging in, and that you can affix to a wall with tape that won't damage the building.
You can shop the night or weekend before, or even on your way home from work on Halloween itself.
