Visiting a haunted attraction like a haunted house or hayride (especially in the northeastern or Midwest of the USA) are other Halloween practices. Notwithstanding the name, such events are not necessarily held in houses, nor are the edifices themselves necessarily regarded to have actual ghosts. A exceptional of the haunted house is the "haunted trail", where the public encounters supernatural-themed characters or presentations of scenes from horror films while following a trail through a bald prairie or forest. One of the largest Halloween attractions in the United States is Knott's Halloween Haunt at California's Knott's Berry Farm, which features re-themed delight park rides and a dozen at odds hike through mazes, minus hundreds of costumed roving performers.

At lunch-time (midday meal, sometimes called "dinner" in Ireland), a traditional Halloween collation Colcannon is eaten, often with coins wrapped in grease-proof analysis mixed in. In recent decades the fashion of midday dinners in the home has declined and with it this traditional Halloween ritual. Irish children normally have a week-long Mid-term break from school that coincides with Halloween Halloween Costume which falls on the 31st of October.
