There's something really great about Halloween - you can pretend to be someone totally different with the right costume, decorate your house inside and out to create a haunted house, snuggle up under a blanket and scare yourself silly with a scary film or get creative with food and turn everything into a pumpkin!
I have to admit that without having any children, Halloween tends to get a little overlooked in our house except for the scary film bit but there are so many great ideas out there that I couldn't help but share a few of my favourites plus some good films to watch to get into the spooky spirit!
I love the puking pumpkin from Andrea Buckett Cooks - the guac is perfect "vom" and the blue corn chips fit in better then their yellow cousins
Orange sherbet filled "pumpkins" from mom.me
Sweet potato fries from Real Simple are a great way to "spook up" any dinner plate.
Chocolate covered pumpkin pretzels from Make Bake Celebrate
Bloody syringe Shirley Temples from Your Southern Peach look like great fun and perfect for a party!
Severed "fingers" in a bun from PartyTipz are so realistic! Imagine these at a children's party - would they be horrified or delighted?!
Glowing Jack-o-Lantern tutorial from Xenia Fashion
Skeleton nails from Broadsheet
Monochrome and glitter nails from Nail Art Gallery
"Crimi-nails" from Nails Magazine
Candy corn candle from Yankee Candle smells just like the real thing!
Drilled pumpkins from Crafty Nest - a pretty alternative to the usual carved faces
Paper bat from Stylizimo - simple but stylish!
Lacy pumpkin from Lauren Conrad
Fang napkin holders from BuzzFeed
The Worst Witch - one of my favourite films growing up and not too scary for the kiddies! Except the special effects. They are pretty scary (well, it was the 80s!)
You can get in the mood for two holidays with The Nightmare Before Christmas
When The Blair Witch Project was released, do you remember how scared everyone was?
The Walking Dead - well you can't have Halloween without a few zombies!
I didn't used to like scary films very much but they've grown on me. Paranormal Activity was one of the first proper scary films I watched and it still makes me jump!
Do you have any favourite Halloween tricks or treats?
