Trunk or Treat Halloween Car Decoration Ideas
You’ve been seeing all the photos on the Internet about trunk or treat ideas, but what exactly is it? Why would you decorate your car for Halloween instead of your house? If you haven’t taken part in a trunk or treat before, it can be a pretty confusing idea. The thing is, there are plenty of reasons to leave your house around Halloween and dress up your car. Schools, churches and other organizations like to host trunk or treat events because it is a safe way for your kids to get their candy.
The events are well lit and full of responsible parents who can monitor the kids. Instead of walking from house to house, you’re in a regulated environment. If this sounds like something you want to do, look up your local events and get nice and inspired by these awesome trunk or treat ideas below.
