About Haunted Refrigerator Night
When is Haunted Refrigerator Night? This spooky holiday is always celebrated on October 30
As we approach Halloween, is any place safe from ghosts, demons, and paranormal activity!? Apparently, not. As Halloween night nears, ghosts are haunting pretty much everywhere you look. Today, the night before Halloween is Haunted Refrigerator Night. The title of this holiday suggests a nighttime haunting. However, we have it on good authority that refrigerators are haunted during the daytime, too. On this October 30 holiday, it is imperative that you stay out of your refrigerator. Who knows what evil lurks inside!? And, you certainly don’t want to open the refrigerator door and let loose the demons and ghosts that are hiding behind the moldy cheese in the back of your refrigerator. And, you never know, there could be all sorts of ghoulish creatures in there, too.
Refrigerator ghosts and demons tend to hide in the back of the refrigerator. They like to hide behind week-old leftovers and moldy cheese. When the door is shut, they emerge from their hiding places and frolic throughout the refrigerator. If you open the door quickly, you can catch sight of them. But, don’t let them out! Slam the door as fast as you can. If these lost souls get out of your refrigerator, it’s all but certain they will find a way out of your home, too. Then, they will turn your community into a ghost town by Halloween night. And, that’s tomorrow night!
Important Note: The garlic in your refrigerator will not protect it from ghosts and demons. However, it will keep vampires out of your refrigerator.

- Post a large sign on the door, with a skull and crossbones.
- Catch the phantoms in the act as they frolic around. On the night before, place a motion-activated video camera in your refrigerator. You can watch the live, make that “dead” action.
- Tempt fate. Hold a ghostly party and invite all of your friends. Open the refrigerator door and leave it open during the party.
- If they get out of your refrigerator, immediately call Ghostbusters.
- Exorcize your demons. Call your priest to perform an exorcism.
- If you see an apparition of any kind, try to get a picture of it.
