Ten Spooky Product Finds June 2022

6/29/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
Another month is coming to an end which means another month closer to Halloween and we're now officially at the beginning of Spooky Season!

TK Maxx and Homesense here in the UK have finally started to stock spooky products and I could not be anymore happier! It is always so exciting to see spooky things appearing in store and the fact that this year appears to be the earliest year so far, is a treat all by itself! 

The past month I have discovered so many wonderful products, especially spooky pins and like usual, the majority of the products below are from small businesses too.

Halloween Forever Print

Picture
Stores are starting to stock spooky products and for those of us who look forward to this time of year, this print is perfect for you.

This Halloween Forever print from Sandstar Art is available in A5 and can be purchased with a mount for easy framing. 

The print is so adorable and features two cute ghosts holding a large love heart. A sweet little bat and Jack o'lantern are above, with autumnal flowers around the heart too.

You can pick up this print and many other spooky products from Sandstar Art right here. 

Spooky Ghost Knife Pin

Picture
The second ghost product on this months list is this cute ghost pin. 

The pin features three little ghosts floating around a knife. The ghosts also glow in the dark when the lights go out, adding another layer of  spooky goodness to this pin. 

One thing I especially love about this pin, is the fact the ghosts faces have bene screen printed onto the pin. I've never actually come across a screen printed pin in this way, but think it's such a clever way of adding small details. 

You can pick up this pin right here. 

In Memory Of My Sleep Pin

Picture
This months list does contain a handful of pins, as I came across so many awesome designs. 

The second pin on todays list is one of a series of spooky pins and the pin that jumped out the most to me is the 'In Loving Memory of Sleep' design. I absolutely love it and also love the other designs available in this series, which includes a ghost, pumpkin and more. 

You can pick up this pin right here.

HalloweenTown Pin

Picture
Full confession before telling you all about this next pin... I only watched Halloween town for the first time around a year ago... I had never seen HalloweenTown until Disney+ arrived in the UK, but I absolutely loved it and I absolutely love this pin too.

The pin recreates the Halloweentown book and features so much tiny detail. It's perfect for fans of the films and would make a great gift too. 

You can grab this pin right here. 

Trick 'r Treat Pop

Picture
Trick 'r Treat is one of my all time favourite films and I can watch it every single day of the year and never got bored of it. 

When Funko revealed two new TrT Pops this year, I was pleased to see more Pops being added to the current range but at the same time disappointed that both releases were of Sam. 

However this week it appears there are even more Pops on the way, with the reveal of Chuckles! Chuckles is one of the kids from the School Bus Massacre and they come with a cute Jack o'Lantern bucket too. 

Very little detail is known about this Pop and unfortunately I haven't been able to find it for sale anywhere yet. As this is only one of the school bus children, i'm keeping my fingers crossed that we see more characters soon! 

Boofy the Bat Pin

Picture
If you absolutely love bats, you will LOVE this next pin on this months list.

Boofy is a super cute, purple bat pin would look great on any outfit! The pin measures approximately 25mm and is made from hard enamel. Why not buy two of these pins and place them on the collar of your shirt/jacket?

You can pick up this little cutie right here.

Halloween Jack O Lantern Crossbody Bag

Picture
This year will see the end of the Blumhouse Halloween trilogy with Halloween Ends being the final film released in this series of films. 

We still have plenty of time before the film comes out, so why not prepare yourself for what is sure to be a great film with this amazing Halloween Jack o'Lantern Crossbody Bag?

The bag features the famous pumpkin from the original film and is lined with a matching Jack o'Lantern and Michael Myers fabric print.

You can pick up this awesome bag right here. 

Spooky Ghost Ceramic Collectible

Picture
A haunted home is a happy home and this ghost will definitely make your home happy!

This hand sculpted ghost is made from porcelain ceramic and featured a daisy print all over. This little ghoul is also available in three different sizes and you can choose from yellow or pink daisies too.  

You really can't get more Summerween than a flower print ghost! 

Pick up this little cutie and be sure to check out all of the other ghosts available from this store right here. 

Jack O Lantern Backpack

Picture
I absolutely love the next addition to this months list. How cool is this Jack O Lantern bag?

The bag has a full Jack o Lantern design on the front, with a pumpkin and bat print on the sides too. Inside contains a pocket to hold a 15 inch laptop, with pockets also on the front. This water resistant bag is the perfect way to show off your spooky side and would look great for your little ghouls school bag too!

The Jack o Lantern design is definitely giving me The Nightmare Before Christmas vibes.

You can pick this bag up right here. 

Murderous Ghost Pin

Picture
The name of this pin is what first grabbed my attention, as it's such a great name and design for a pin.

The Murderous Ghost pin features a naughty little ghost that has carved out and is now eating a poor Jack o Lantern. 

I adore this pin and love how it's also giving of a vintage Halloween style. The pin measures 2 inches too, so it's a good size pin! 

​You can pick up this pin right here.

2/18/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
February might contain the loveliest Holiday of the year but that doesn't mean we still can't get our spooky fix! 

Once again i've been trawling the internet in search of spooky products and here are my favourite finds of the month so far.

This month definitely has a theme too, as I came across so many ghostie finds, it was actually a tough choice on what to feature. 

All products in today's post are all from small businesses too, so if you make a purchase, you'll be supporting these amazing artists and stores. 

Trick 'r Treat Sam Halloween Throw Blanket

Picture
If you're a fan of Trick 'r Treat, then you will love this blanket!

This throw blanket features masked and unmasked Sam, along with his famous lolly and is made from super soft polyester. 

Measuring 6o inches by 50 inches means you'll also be nicely covered and wrapped up warm too. This blanket would be perfect at Halloween to wrap around yourself, with a nice bowl of Candy Corn and Trick 'r Treat on the Tv!

You can grab this blanket right HERE.

Ghost Foot Stool

Picture
The first ghost product on todays list is a great one!

This footstool from The Divine Occultist has been up-cycled by hand and features a ghost and tree print all over. 

The legs have also been repainted black and a tassel edge has been attached all around the stool. This really would look amazing in a gothic themed home or just a haunted house! 

Having purchased from The Divine Occultist in the past, I can definitely recommend this product and also great customer service too.
​
You can grab this (and many other products) right HERE.

Ghost Suncatcher

Picture
Winter might be in full swing, but spring is just around the corner and with a new season, comes longer days.

This sun-catcher has been made by hand and features an adorable ghost with pumpkin pail. This would look great in your window throughout the year and will look especially nice come Spring and Summer, when you'll be able to enjoy the sunlight hitting it longer. 

You can pick up this ghostie right HERE.

Sleepy Hollow Blanket

Picture
Keeping warm was clearly in my mind when searching for spooky products this month, as here's another blanket on today's list. 

This Sleepy Hollow blanket features an incredible Headless Horseman design and is made from 100% polyester. 

The blanket measures 130cm x 175cm and is also machine washable too. If you're after something even more cuddly though, you can grab this blanket made with Sherpa fabric. 

Order your very own Sleepy Hollow blanket right HERE.

Ghost Story Pin

Picture
I think this pin might be my favourite find on today's list. 

This Ghost Story inspired pin features a ghost staring out of the window, longing for its family to return. Fans of this film will love this pin and if you've never seen A Ghost Story, add it to your list of films to watch asap!

The pin is also double layered, with the window frame being the top layer. This pin is fantastic and such a clever design. Even if you haven't seen the movie, I highly recommend adding this pin to your pin collection. 

​You can pick up this ghostie pin right HERE.

Pin Up Ghost Print

Picture
It seems like sexy ghosts have become a bit of a thing in the last couple of years and this print features a great one!

This original design from Lavender Seance features a playful ghost, showing off a little more than just its sheet. When I first came across this, it really made me laugh and I knew I just had to add it to this months list. 

What's more is that, the images feature one of my very own products... the Vintage Halloween spirit board, this of course did not mean this product was more likely to be featured, but it was a really nice surprise to see one of my own products used for this. 

​You can pick up this print right HERE.

Oogie Boogie Ears

Picture
Well, well, well.... what have we here? Oogie Ears? oooooo i'm really scared!

How cool are these? These handmade Oogie Boogie ears are made from soft marino wool felt and feature Halloween Towns biggest villain. Oogies eyes, mouth and the dice in the centre of this headband all glow in the dark. 

These would be amazing to take with you to Disneyland during October, especially during the evening when the park is dark.

Grab your own set of Oogie Ears right HERE.

Pumpkin Gizmo Pin

Picture
Gremlins is such a great film and one of the best things about that film's is Gizmo, add in a little bit of Halloween and you've got this adorable pin.

Clairey Lou Creations has created this pin featuring Gizmo dressed as a Jack o'Lantern. The pin measures 33mm and also comes with an extra vintage Gremlins trading card. 

You can grab your very own pin right HERE and be sure to check out the rest of the store too, as you'll find even more spooky treats. 

Halloween Pumpkin Print

Picture
Make space on your walls, as you'll need to add this print! 

This Halloween print from Cult Curiosities features a sinister (but cute) pumpkin character with a spooky lantern/bird cage and multiple ghosts. 

The print is available in multiple sizes and you can also purchase similar prints from this store too, so why not grab the whole set? 

Be sure to check out all the other treats available from this store and you can grab this print by clicking  HERE.

Halloween Bunting

Picture
The final product on today's list is this Halloween Ghost and Pumpkin Bunting. 

The bunting contains three pumpkins and two ghosts hanging on jute twine. It has vintage style, that I absolutely love and this would look amazing during Halloween, or just hanging up all year. 

Each piece has been made from thick reclaimed wood, which has been cut and then hand painted. 

I can definitely see this in my own home in the very near future, as I can't stop looking at it. If you would like to pick up your own spooky bunting, just click HERE.

1/22/2022

Picture
Bethany Lowe Designs released their 2022 Halloween collection previews this week and they truly are amazing. There's SO MANY new treats incoming this year that you better get making room already for these new decorations, as you're going to need it. 

From Ghost Peeps and Candy Corn Moons to Pumpkin Buckets and Haunted House Decorations, there really is something for every ghoul here. 

Along with the new ranges, they also released previews of this years Johanna Parker Designs products which you can check out HERE. 

Ghosts

Ghosts were SO POPULAR last Halloween, it seems like every company that sold Halloween products had a large Ghost range last year and I was all for it. This year Bethany Lowe Designs are releasing a plethora of new Ghosties. This includes an official Ghost Peeps range which consists of two different sized ghost decorations and a 4 hanging Peeps too.

Three new colourful ghost luminaries will be joining the peeps too. These ghosts are made from paper mâché and will be available in purple, green and orange. 
 
Michelle Allen will be extending her adorable Halloween range with a new ghost too and new hanging Lollipop and Glittery Ghosts will all be available. The Glittery Ghosts are also available as bunting and would look great with the colourful ghost luminaries. 

Pumpkins

Pumpkin Buckets, Lanterns, Character Decorations and more new Pumpkin treats are incoming. Bethany Lowe Designs will be releasing three new vintage style Pumpkin Buckets that are always super popular along with more large light up Pumpkin lanterns. 

My personal favourites from the new Pumpkin releases would definitely have to be Mr Hall'O Lantern which is a very dapper looking Pumpkin gentleman that also lights up when a battery tealight candle is placed inside. The Spooktacular Gathering Lantern which features a pumpkin wearing a skull mask and has a curious ghost and well dressed raven on top, is also another must. 

Hanging Decorations

Robin Seeber will be extending their currently range of character cuties with four new releases. These include a new Bride Elsa and Frank Boris, Cruella Bat and Pyewacket Cat Ornaments. 

You'll also be able to get your hands on new Candy Corn Moon decorations, Hocus Pocus Cauldrons, Victorian style moons and more.

Halloween Buckets

The poison apple range will be extending with not only large buckets but also smaller hanging buckets too and what's more, you'll be able to pick them up in all kinds of different colours. 

Six new adorable pumpkin buckets are also incoming and just like the Poison Apple Buckets, they'll be available in six colours too. 

​Cats

Everyone loves a good spooky cat! The Scaredy Sassy Cat Bucket is perfect for sweet treats but place a battery tealight candle inside and it's face lights up too!
​
Also joining the above mention Ghost from Michelle Allen, is two new Kitty ornaments too!

Animals

Continuing on from Cats, here we have a selection of some of the new animal characters that are due for release this year. 

​These new arrivals include new characters from Michelle Lauritsen, cute mice, an adorable hanging bat decoration and more. 

Gothic

And finally, what's Halloween without a little touch of gothic? Bethany Lowe's All Hallows' Eve collection will be adding a new Divine Desiree Skelly ornament, this well dressed skeleton lady is definitely ready for Halloween night and is even holding a sweet little bat eye mask. A new witch and moon ornament and Haunted Night on Box decoration will be joining her too. 

​There really are so many new treats coming this year and like usually Bethany Lowe Designs have created some exceptional pieces that i'm sure many of you will love. To check out the full 2022 range just click HERE.

Happy New Year to you all! 
​
This year i'm starting a new monthly feature where I will be sharing ten spooky finds that i've come across over the past few weeks.

​These finds will be from all kinds of different businesses and will include links for you to grab the products featured right here.  

So let's kick start the year with these ten spooky treats!

Harvest-time Hanger From 16 Bits Of Glass

Picture
If like me, you're a HUGE fan of Over The Garden Wall then this one is definitely for you. These Sun Catchers are handmade and feature Enoch! 

They're also available in four different styles. Each one is made using glass, copper foiled solder and finished with rope tassels. 

There really are a must for any fan and thats a rock fact!

Ghost Art Print From Naomi Paints Store

Picture
Although it's still very much the first few weeks of winter, i'm sure some of you are missing Autumn (I know I am), so when I came across this print recently I knew I had to share it. 

Not only does it feature a sweet little ghost but it has such lovely autumnal vibes that I think I could happily stare at this for hours. 

This print is available in three different sizes and you can get your hands on one right HERE.

Scream Themed Cold Cup From Planchette Place

Picture
Scream or Scream 5 (as it should be called) is out next week and while I was searching for all of the previews for the latest film, I came across this cup.

It features Ghost Face in all his glory along with dripping blood and the line "What's your favourite scary movie?" on the back. 

This would be such a cool cup to take to the cinema with you next week or just to show off your love for one of the greatest slasher franchises ever created. 

Grab yours right HERE.

Trick 'r Treat Patches from Zombunny Designs

Picture
Trick 'r Treat will always be a favourite Halloween film of mine and so this  patch from Zombunny Designs just had to be included in this list. 

The patch is available in either an iron-on or stitch-on design and measures approximately 3.5 inches. 

If patches aren't really your thing though, you're in luck! You can also get your hands on embroidered hanging decorations instead. I actually purchased the hanging decorations last year and can 100% confirm they are amazing and definitely a must for any TrT fan. 

Grab the patch right HERE or the hanging decorations HERE.

Ghost Cat Earrings From Alleycats Craft

Picture
Everyone loves a ghost but what people seem to love more is a ghost cat and these earrings are purrrrfect for spooky cat lovers! 

Created by Alleycats Craft, these laser cut earrings are made from acrylic and features two adorable little black cats. 

If cat's are not your thing though, you can also pick up Spiderweb earrings, Bat earrings, Skull earrings and heaps of other treats from the store. 

Grab a pair of earrings right HERE.

Boo Babe Mousepad From Cassandra Dunn ART

Picture
Ghosts are definitely a theme with this months product post and this mousepad from Cassandra Dunn Art is brilliant. 

Featuring a sweet little ghost with.... cushioned boo-bies (this honestly cracked me up), this mousepad will not only keep you spooky but it'll keep your wrist well supported too. 

Cassandra Dunn creates all kinds of different spooky pin-up designs and she's constantly adding new treats, so be sure to check out the rest of her store and grab a mousepad right HERE.

Another Scream product for you and this one is truly unique!
​Cereal Killer have announced a UK exclusive official Scream cereal which is aptly named Strawberries and Scream.

The limited edition cereal is available now to pre-order and you can also win a private screening of the the new film for you and your friends. 

What's more, the box is also listed as  being the first ever talking cereal box too! Which makes me want to grab a box for curiosity alone.

Halloween High-Tops From Little Shop Of Gore

Picture
Halloween Kills is released on Dvd/Blu Ray this month and if you're excited to check out the film at home (and also all the special features) then these high-tops are for you!

Valentines Day is next month (or Valloween as us spooky folk call it) and whether you love it or hate it, you can't deny that this Candy Corn Heart Air Freshener isn't cute!

The air freshener has a candy scent and features a super happy-to-be-here Jack o Lantern face. This design is also available as a sticker too.

I know I would be very happy to receive this on February 14th.

The Headless Horseman Tavern Hoodie From
​Hollow Hill Apparel

These Seven Spooky Things should keep you well spooked from August 17th to August 23rd.

There are only 7 Seven Spooky Things blog posts left before they end and October arrives! Eeek!

Check out all of this weeks daily tasks below:

Picture
Monday

It's a new week of spooky fun and so we're kick starting this week with these super easy Coffee Filter Bats. 

They don't take long to make at all and you can customise them in any way you like, so you can let your creativity run wild! 

Find out all the details on how to make these right here.

Picture
Tuesday

Todays make might be a little tricky to put together but it's not impossible and it is 100% worth it! 

Inspired by my recent find in Homesense here in the UK, these Shadow Box Pumpkins can be put together fairly quickly and designed in all kinds of different ways. The Haunted House pumpkin is definitely my favourite of the three pictured. 

All you really need are artificial pumpkins, black card and battery powered tealight candles to put these together but they're a decoration that will last for many, many years to come! Find out how to make your very own Shadow Box Pumpkins right here.

Picture
Wednesday 

The past few weeks movie night has been on the weekend but not this week! Instead Wednesday is this weeks movie night and we're watching Beetlejuice! 

Released in 1988 Beetlejuice grossed a total of $74,000,000 worldwide and quickly became a cult favourite. A sequel has been rumoured for many years with the original title planned to be Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian. Although as of yet no official announcement has been made, an animated tv series was also released in 1989 and ran for 4 seasons.

 'The spirits of a deceased couple are harassed by an unbearable family that has moved into their home, and hire a malicious spirit to drive them out'

Picture
Thursday

Inspired by yesterdays movie, today we're making these Potted Sand Worms! 

They may looks  a little complicated but they're actually really easy (and fairly quick) to make. The tutorial shows you exactly how to make them in the picture but why not add a small stake into the base of these and place them inside actual plant pots?

These would look great amongst any indoor plants or even dotted around your garden (be sure to weatherproof them if this is the plan). Find out all the details on how to make these right here.

Picture
Friday

Booooooooook! Or should I say Brooooowwwwnniees! Who doesn't look Hocus Pocus? And also who doesn't love a good brownie? Add the two together and you've got literal magic in your mouth! 

These Spell Book brownies look so tasty and how don't require much work at all. These would look great at a Halloween party or even if you're having  Hocus Pocus themed night. 

Check out all the details on how to make these right here and let's get baking!

Picture
Saturday

This little make is extremely easy and quick but should easily keep any kids entertained for quite a while. 

All you need to make this sweet little ghost bunting is masking tape, a black pen/felt, string and scissors!

You can then design as many different ghosts in all different shapes and sizes to make a truly unique and spooky bunting decoration. Check out everything you need to know to make your very own right here.

Picture
Sunday

Your final make for the week is one that I absolutely adore. These spooky little haunted houses are made from bird houses! 

Right now is most likely the best time to get making these too, as so many stores are already starting to display their autumnal products and bird houses will start to be reduced in many stores to clear out all of the spring/summer stock. Here in the UK you can easily pick up a wooden bird house from The Works for a couple of pound too. 

Read up on all the details right here on how to make your very own Haunted House!

Picture
As Halloween creeps closer and closer we're now reaching that point where some stores might start to stock little glimmers of the spooky season. It was only just over a year ago that we started to see Pumpkin candles and autumnal products appear in stores like Homesense and TK Maxx. 
With the states already starting to stock products I thought a list of some of the best UK based small businesses that stock Halloween things all year might be appropriate. 

So if you're after a spooky fix any time of the year then be sure to check out these awesome stores and also keep an eye out for another list focusing on international stores too!

Picture
Skullduggery Ceramics

Skullduggery Ceramics is one of my favourite spooky stores. Not only does the store have a whole bunch of handmade gothic treats but she makes new products all the time!

You'll be able to find Witch Hat ring holders, Graveyard Business Card Holders, Skeleton Mugs, Jewellery and much, much more from this wonderful store. I actually own one of the Graveyard business card holders and it sits proudly on my desk adding the right amount of spook to my working days.

​Check out the Skullduggery store right here and don't forget to also hit follow on instagram and Facebook.

Lady Jo Bangles
​
If you're after vintage inspired pieces then this store is for you. You'll be able to find a whole bunch of vintage Halloween tricks and treats including wall art, decorations and jewellery from the Lady Jo Bangles store.

All items are hand-painted and they really do look amazing. If you're after something a little less spooky then be sure to check out all the other vintage inspired creations too. 

You can check out the store right here and be sure to hit follow on instagram also. 

Picture
Nine Lives Later

Nine Lives Later is filled with handmade tattoo inspired treats. You'll be able to find Black Cat pennants, tote bags, pillows and more.

Picture
The Ghost Family Haunts

This store is a fairly new discovery and it's actually thanks to @batwife on instagram that I even knew it existed but I am so glad to know it does. 

The Ghost Family Haunts is a duo of awesome creators who make and sell their own wax melts, candles, room sprays, stickers, t shirts and more. All products have a Halloween and Gothic touch.

They also sell subscription packages and create unique collections based off of some of your favourite films and holidays.

The Sad Ghost Club

I have loved The Sad Ghost Club for as long as I have known they existed, which is a good few years that's for sure. 

Apart from selling so many wonderful ghostly treats, the club also helps raise awareness of mental health issues through everything they sell and make. 

You'll be able to find pins, tote bags, prints and more from their store, plus the added bonus that you're helping others with every purchase is great too.

Ghosts By Sarah

The final store on this list I actually only discovered while researching stores for this list. All of the above businesses I was aware of before but this one is new to me and I am so glad I found it as it's adorable! 

Ghosts By Sarah is a small online store that sells all different kinds of ghost prints. Each print is actually a photograph that Sarah has then added in ghosts using paint pens and ink. Each one features ghosts just doing normal everyday things and they really are so cute! I can see myself making a purchase from this store very soon. 

Check out all of the available prints right here and be sure to follow on instagram too.

Missing Halloween and the month of October? Me too! So from now until Halloween, each week they'll be a new 'Seven Spooky Things' post to ensure you can add a bit of Halloween to your day 365 days a year.

These Seven Spooky Things should keep you well spooked from May 25th to May 31st. Throughout May each week will be themed and this weeks final theme is Trick or Treat!
If you want to add some tricks and treats to your own home then you'll love this weeks SST.

​Check out this weeks activities below:

Monday

This week is all about Tricks and Treats! So expect candy crafts and makes. Kick-starting the week we're going to be making homemade peanut butter cups! 

One of the most popular Halloween candies in America and so it's only right the week is started by making them ourselves. They're easy to make and only take around 15 minutes.

​Find out how to make your very own cups right here.

Tuesday

Todays make is this really sweet Jack'o Lantern Trick or Treat bag. It will take a little time to make but it's 100% worth it!

You'll be able to use this year after year too so you won't need to worry about finding another bag each Halloween. Plus why not use this for some light shopping too? Just because it's intended use is a treat bag, does not mean you can't take it out to get groceries. 

Find out all the details you need to make your own bag and get stitching right here.

Wednesday

Todays make is super easy, super quick and super fun (also super spooky). These Lolly Pop ghosts can be made with things around the house and would be a great little hide and go treat game for the kids.

All you really need is some paper/cloth, lollies and ribbon. Find out all the details on how to make these quick treats right here.

Thursday

Continuing with yesterdays ghost theme, today it's less of a make and more of a dress up. Now this one you might want to pin until Halloween or if you're in a decorating mood get dressing up now.

All you really need for this is some white fabric, mini treat buckets and dolls. You can either buy a few cheap dolls or if you have them in your home then you're pretty much all set. Just drape a circle of white fabric over each doll with black eyes drawn onto the fabric and attach a treat bucket to each hand. Easy!

They make great little trick or treater decorations for your porch or just give your doll a spooky make over. This idea comes from Good Morning America and can be found here.

Friday

It's nearly the end of the week and today we're going to be doing a little up-cycling. Using old tin cans, paint, tape and card you can make your own tin treat buckets. Use them for trick or treating or just as cute little storage pots. 

You can find a template for the wings and all the details right here. Why not create your own designs too and create a whole collection of spooky tin buckets that will also help the planet by reducing waste?

Saturday

Saturday is movie night this week and once again you've got two films to choose from. 

The first is the hugely popular and now cult classic film Trick'r Treat! 

Released in 2007, Trick'r Treat was actually only shown at a small number of screens and didn't have a wide release. Over the years the film has grown in popularity with

a sequel officially announced in 2016 (although nothing has happened since it's announcement). The film is an anthology film that follows four different stories on Halloween night that are all linked together in one way or another. Definitely not one for the kids but definitely worth a watch. 
Your second film for today is the highly enjoyable Monster House. The film focuses on three kids who discover their neighbours house isn't just haunted but actually a living breathing monster. The film is a lot of fun and worth a watch every October!

Sunday

Your last make of the week, the last make of the month and also the last make of our themed weeks is here... sad face, BUT it's a great one as today we're going to make HOMEMADE CANDY CORN! 

This recipe does require quite a few steps and ingredients but once you get the hang of it, not only will you be able to make your very own Candy Corn whenever you like but you'll be able to make it year after year as Halloween treats too!

Find out all of the details you need to make your very own sweet treats right here.

Halloween 2018 is fast approaching and with it comes a brand new limited edition range from October 31st! If you've been following our Instagram and Facebook pages over the past month you will have seen small teasers for new products that are coming your way very soon.

Nine new products will be hitting the store and all will be extremely limited so once they're gone, they're gone! 
The full range features two badge designs, a mug, three different canvas wall banners and three plushies. All inspired by vintage Halloween, you'll be able to grab brand new Black Cat, Jack'o Lantern and Ghost products. The full range can be previewed below with one more product (the ninth) being revealed soon. Unfortunately the spooks decided to interfere with delivery schedules so the final product will be revealed before launch, which you can also find out when that will be below.

Small sneak peaks have been gradually giving away these plushies, a vintage inspired Black Cat and Jack'o Lantern will be available along with a soon to be revealed third plushie. The grinning cat is definitely one image that always comes to mind when thinking of classic Halloween symbols and the Jack'o Lantern is always a classic. The JOL design was actually created around two years ago and was used for a small number of products. Not wanting to retire it just yet, it has returned in plushie form. All plushies are made using 100% cotton fabric with polyester filling. ​

Using the same cat and pumpkin design, these black handled mugs feature a repetitive design with the October 31st logo on the corner. The inside of the mug is also black. ​

The two badge designs once again feature the Jack'o Lantern and Black Cat designs, these will be sold individually. ​

Halloween 2018 just wouldn't be complete without decorations! These mini canvas wall scrolls feature the Black Cat and Jack'o Lantern design along with a trick or treating ghost. All three designs are printed onto canvas, hand stitched and have orange and black string to allow for easy hanging. The edges have been left rough to add a somewhat worn look and to add a little more to the vintage theme. 

The final product will be revealed very soon and definitely in time for their release. You can grab all of these products Friday September 14th at 6pm (UK time). ​
