Valentine's Day is almost upon us and for those of you who are longing for the spooky season to return, this list might just help bring it that little bit closer.

I've picked out 13 easy makes to add a little touch of Halloween to what is considered the most romantic day of the year and included one make that i've created myself too. 

These should add a spooky touch to your day this year and turn Valentine's into Valoween instead. Oh and remember... another holiday is almost out the way bringing Halloween one holiday closer. 

Voodoo Doll Pin Cushions

These adorable Voodoo Dolls are so easy to make and are perfect for a beginner. You could easily customise these to whatever colours your like and while you're at it why not make a whole family of them? 

Add a felt loop to the top to turn this into a hanging decoration or stitch a keyring chain into the top for a spooky little accessory for your keys. These really would make such a great gift for that special someone this Valoween.

You can find out all the details on how to make these right here.

Coffin Gift Box

Nothing says love like a coffin gift box and this one is another easy make. These little coffin boxes are great for gifts or party favours and are the perfect size to place a ring inside... 

So whether you're just placing candy inside or about to let your favourite ghoul know you want to spend the rest of your life (and death) with them, you can find out all the details on how to make these (including a free template) right here.

Pom Pom Bats!

Let your favourite ghoul know that you're simply 'batty' about them with these Pom Pom Bats! 

These can be made into a number of things including hanging decorations, gift tags  and even cocktail stirrers. Customise the wings into all kinds of colours and you've got yourself another perfect gift. 

Check out how to make these little cuties right here.

Jack Skellington Cheesecakes 

Who doesn't love cheesecake? I could eat it all day long and never get sick of it and if your favourite ghoul likes cheesecake too, then these are perfect! 

These are easy to make and don't take too much time either, so you can whip up a batch before your spooky evening together. 

You can find out all the ingredients and how to make these delicious treats right here.

Gothic Flower Lights

When I first came across these I had no idea they were made from egg boxes because they look fangtastic! 

They're another easy and quick make and would look so great strung up around your place to help set the mood. If you've already got fairy lights in your home, you're all set to make these gothic flower lights. You could even give them as a gift if you're on a budget!

Check out all the details right here.

Planchette Chocolate Box

Obsessed is an understatement with this make because look. at. it!! It looks incredible and is actually quite easy to make if you've got the time. 

The instructions do require a cricut machine but for those who don't have one fear not! As you can easily create this design with a steady hand and a craft knife. You can also customise the design however you like.

This box doesn't just have to be for chocolates either, so if you have a gift and are wondering how to wrap it, why not make this? I know if I was given this I would keep the box for as long as possible as it's far too nice to throw away. 

You can get making your very own Planchette Chocolate Box right here.

Jack Skellington Valentines

You can never have enough Jack Skellington in your life and Valoween is no exception to not include the Pumpkin King!

These Jack Skellington Valentine Decorations would definitely add a spooky touch to your Valoween decorating this year or use them as gift tags for your loved ones gift. Once again they're super easy to make and the link below includes a free template for you to easily print them out (or if you have a steady hand you can draw these out yourself). 

​Check out all the details right over here. 

Valoween Cards

One thing that seems criminally unavailable this time of year are Valoween cards (come on card companies, spooky people need cards too!) but luckily Spooky Little Halloween and That Halloween Bro recently teamed up to create these free, printable Halloween cards! 

They look amazing and are the perfect little card to give to your favourite ghoul this Valoween. I know I would be over the moon to receive one of these myself. 

You can grab these Valoween cards right here. 

Bloody Truffles

So you've made the Planchette box but have no chocolate to put inside? Well you better get in the kitchen to make these Bloody Truffles as they would be perfect to place inside and look absolutely delicious too! 

I was expecting these to be quite tricky to make as i've tried to make truffles myself in the past and failed (i'm looking at you fridge from 2018 and your non-setting truffles *weeps*) but they're fairly simple to put together! 

To find out everything you need and how to make these deadlicious treats, just click right here.

Origami Heart Bats

I'm always blown away by origami creations, from a single piece of paper you can make pretty much anything and these bats are a fine example of how a piece of paper can become something amazing.

These origami heart shaped bats would make great decorations for around the home this year or use them as gift tags for your loved ones gift. 

Find out how to make these right here. 

Valoween Wreath

Who said Valoween decorations have to stay indoors? Decorate that door and let your neighbours know that this ghoul isn't just spooky during spooky season! 

I adore this wreath and think it looks so, so good! It's a really simple make that you could actually put together with left over Halloween ribbons (does it count as left over if it's used all year?) and you could get this hanging on the door within an afternoon!

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

Eyeball Flowers

I have shared how to make these eyeball flowers in the past via Seven Spooky Things and now is the PERFECT time to make these! 

​Flowers are insanely popular this time of year and although i'm sure anyone who receives flowers will be pleased, they would be even more pleased if they were eyeball flowers. Quick and easy to make, these look fangtastic and if you click the blog link i've shared above, you'll even find a felt alternative for those of you who can't find the right flowers. 

To create the perfect bunch just click right here. 

Anti-Valentine Heart Cookies

I couldn't make a list of Valoween themed makes without including some kind of heart biscuit and these are incredible. 

Inspired by the popular Love Hearts candy, these cookies are the perfect treat for those of us who aren't all that fond of the most romantic day of the year. 

To make your own Anti-Valentines cookies just click here. The link also includes a free download for the 'Love is' labels too!
​

Valoween Garlands

Finally, the last make on this list is a little creation I put together myself that I hope many of you will like.

These DIY Valoween cutouts will create a Love Heart Coffin, Black Heart and Hanging Love Heart Bat garland that you can put together in no time. 

You can either save the images below or download the zip file to receive all three printables right away. Simply thread a string through each of the cutouts using a needle and hang around your home this Valoween!

If you do download and make these please do share pics as I would love to see (links below).

Thanks so much for reading this article! I actually share a whole load of Halloween things on my instagram so if you'd also like to follow my daily (almost) updates then head on over to HERE. You can also follow on Facebook now too! ​

Five brand new tin signs are part of this collection. They're available in 2 different sizes with the largest sign being a fun Halloween Fortune game.
The Halloween Fortune game is inspired by games that were available from the 1920's onwards and would usually contain a spinner or piece that could be cut/torn from the board and used to complete the game. This game only requires your month of birth and todays weather to predict your fortune for the next seven days. 

All five signs have pre-drilled holes in the corners for easy hanging. 

You'll be able to grab a Jack-O'Lantern and Ghost Enamel Pin when the collection launches. Each pin comes attached to a vintage style backing card.

Candles are back! The original collection of October 31st candles was discontinued this year so for those of you who grabbed one of the original designs you'll be pleased to know four new candles are coming soon! Tricks and Treats was the most popular scent from the previous collection and it's also back, the same scent but in a brand new design. 

You'll also be able to purchase Pumpkin Spice, Autumn Leaves and Candy Apple scented candles in two different sized tins. These candles have been designed by myself but produced by The Candle Craft Co who also have a great range of original candles available in their store so please do check them out!

All scents descriptions will be revealed on the day of launch.

If you're after more wall art then you're in luck as you'll be able to get your hands on two brand new prints. Both prints are printed onto high quality, glossy paper and are A4 in size.

Ever go Halloween shopping and forget what you wanted to purchase? Well fear not as three new notebooks are coming soon with one being the perfect pocket sized Halloween Shopping List Book. You'll also be able to grab a mini Little Book of Magic and an A5 Trick or Treat black cat notepad too. 

it's been a long time since the last original October 31st mug and so three new designs are on the way. The first is a full wrap around design featuring a haunted house with ghost, Jack-O'Lantern and flying witch. This design is also available as a tin sign and is also the design that wraps around the candles (see above).

Inspired by vintage plastic flash lights, the neon orange trick or treat mug is a double sided mug with a sad Trick and happy Treat face design. 
The final mug is an all black mug with orange jack-o'lantern face design. 

Three new A6 Greeting Cards will be available individually and also as a set of three (at a lower price). These new glossy cards will be perfect to send to friends and family this Halloween. The black cat and haunted house design are unique to the greeting cards while the Witch and Moon design is also available as a print and on a coaster.

Seven badges in six new designs will be hitting the store next Saturday. For those of you who purchased from the 2018 Halloween collection, you will recognise the grinning black cat. This design was so popular when it was first released that it was actually the first of the 2018 range to sell out in plush and wall hanging designs. The design was also available on a mug too (which will be back later this year). 

You'll be able to buy these badges individually or as a set for a lower price.

These new stickers include a unique haunted house design that isn't available on any other product. The stickers are all made from vinyl and are waterproof too! 

Available individually or as a set of three for a cheaper price. 

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?

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.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Extending the already huge range of The Nightmare Before Christmas Pop figures comes even more releases. This time you'll be able to get your hands on another new Sandy Claws Pop, Sally, Oogie, Jack and even a new release of the highly sought-after Mayor. The original Mayor Pop which was part of the very first release of NBC pop figures can now fetch you up to £200 on Ebay. 

Along with these releases you can also get your hands on a new Oogie Boogie keychain, 10 inch Jack and also new Dorbz! ​

Marvel Zombies

One release I really didn't see coming is the release of a whole range of Marvel Zombies. The new zombie pops will be available as standard pop figures (with additional variants) as well as new Mystery Mini pops and Keychains!

All you need to do now is decide which ones you will be getting, if not all of them of course. As a side note how cool would a Marvel Heroes Zombie film be? ​

Corpse Bride

Making their Pop debut these Corpse Bride pops are another surprise release for this year. Emily and Victor will be available (along with scraps who comes with Victor) and hopefully will pave the way for even more releases from this wonderful film in the future. ​

The Craft

If you're a fan of The Craft then you will love these. All four of the main characters from the 1996 film are now available for the first time ever as Funko Pops and they really do look great. It's nice to see this film getting more merchandise released for it as it really is such a great film. A remake to this film is apparently also in the works although I personally do not think it needs it. The original has aged well and is a cult classic. ​

Killer Klowns From Outer Space

What's creepier than a film about killer clowns? How about Killer Klown Pops... Another Funko Pop Debut, these Killer Klown Pops will be released in three different designs and are sure to be a huge hit amongst fans of this horror franchise. ​

Child's Play 2 Chucky

A new addition to the Child Play range of Pop figures is the new 10 inch Chucky Funko Pop. Chucky is carrying a bloody knife and it's also the first 10 inch Pop to be released in the already growing range. ​

Edward Scissorhands

Edward Scissorhands has already had the Pop treatment in the past but now the range is about to get even bigger with not one but five new Edward Pops and for the first time ever a new Kim Pop. I actually think Edward looks slightly better than the original release and it's also great to see him recreating a few other scenes from the film. It's nice that they have released Kim along with the new collection too. Now let's get Peg a release and please Funko release Joyce with her Ambrosia Salad. ​

Beetlejuice 

The ghost with the most has already been given the Pop treatment (along with Lydia) but for the first time we're being treat to Adam and Barbara in their full creepy transformation look and the look so, so good! I cannot wait to grab these two once they're available later this year.

Universal Monsters

Another extension to an already released franchise are these two new additions to the Universal Studios Monsters series. A new glow in the dark Frankensteins Monster and invisible man will be released later this year. Can you imagine if the invisible man release was just an empty box? 

Do you want to get your hands on an official Hocus Pocus soundtrack, Binx Keychain and also unopened blind bag from Spirit Halloween?  

Since the blog was re-launched it has only been growing in numbers and it is so great to see so many of you interacting with the blog, whether it be via social media or right here! So as a little thanks i'm giving away an official Hocus Pocus soundtrack cd which was released for the 20th Anniversary and is since no longer in production. Along with an official Binx Keychain and unopened blind bag from Spirit Halloween which will contain one of 11 different keychains!

The last day of April means one thing... it's officially six months until Halloween! We are now at the halfway point with our constant countdown. 

Over the next six months we can expect to see things popping up in stores, new ranges being released, the sequel to 2018s Halloween, Halloween Kills and just about as much spooky goodness as you can handle! 

So to celebrate 6 months to go, here's five easy and fun things that you can do today to celebrate getting even closer to the best time of year. 

Plant Pumpkins! 

Now is actually the best time to plant your pumpkins within the UK. The colder days and nights are behind us (although it still feels like its winter some nights brrrr) and Summer is on it's way which also means warmer weather. 

As the UK weather is very hit and miss late April to the end of May is the right time to get those seeds in the soil. It will give them plenty of time to grow and if the weather is good to us this year, you'll see a nice harvest come October. 

If you're in a warmer location and don't have seeds to hand, then fear not as you can wait until as late as July to plant them. For all the ins and outs of pumpkin growing click right here.

Listen to Music!

This one is an easy one but should definitely get you in the mood for October. Have a little dance party at home with as many spooky songs as you can find. Youtube is bursting with Halloween songs and so many wonderful spooks have also created playlists to help cut out all that searching. 

I also created a list of great songs to listen to (with a new one coming very soon!) and if you want constant 365 days a year Halloween music playing then why not check out Halloween Radio? There are five different spooky stations to choose from and it's available all year!

Spooky Snacks!

There might still be six months to go but it doesn't mean that you can't have a mini Halloween party with lots of spooky snacks. You don't have to head out to the supermarket to make your snacks either. If you've got yourself a Halloween cookie cutter why not cut out spooky sandwiches? If you have food colouring, add it to an easy cake mix to add a creepy twist. There are endless ways to add a Halloween touch to your meals today. 

If you're in a making mood though why not make Toffee Apples? or Frankenstein crispy treats or these lovely Candy Corn Cupcakes! 

Watch A Film! 

I love watching Halloween films any time of year and today is no exception! In a world where we have Disney+ Amazon Prime and Netflix you don't have to worry about trying to find something to watch either.

If you have Disney+ you can currently watch all four HalloweenTown films, Hocus Pocus and The Nightmare Before Christmas along with other Halloween themed films and if you search Halloween on Netflix or Amazon you're greeted with a whole bunch of spooky films for your eyes to feast on. 

Why not watch a Halloween episode from your favourite TV show or throw on a film you already have on and cosy on down under a big blanket. The Halloween episodes from Friends, Cougar Town, Scream the TV Series and Buffy the Vampire Slayer are all worthy of a watch. If you haven't seen a show before then why not start one! It might just become your new favourite show.

Plan, Plan and Plan! 

Now we've hit the halfway mark, let's get planning! Some of you have been planning this Halloween since last Halloween and for those of you who haven't even started, now is the time! 

You've got the perfect amount of time to decide on your costume, your party theme, even what treats you would like to put into treat bags. Start planning the food you would like to make, the things you would like to create or even start making a shopping list of what you would like to hopefully buy this year.

There are already thousands of Halloween goodies for you to find online too. So if you're in the mood for a little Halloween shopping then you can very easily trick or treat yourself. Planning for October can be extremely fun and if you really want to go for it, why not create your own book? Fill it with all your favourite Halloween things and then keep adding to it all the time. That way you have your own personal Halloween reference for when you need it more. 

Happy Halfway to Halloween! 

​Thanks so much for reading this article! I actually share a whole load of Halloween things on my instagram so if you'd also like to follow my daily (almost) updates then head on over to HERE.

A Haunted Home is a Happy Home and these ten art prints will definitely haunt the walls of your house. I have put together a list of just some of my favourite art prints that I have come across recently which I think you might like too. 

It was so hard to not buy all of these prints while putting this list together as they really are fantastic. I just have to keep telling myself "you have no wall room" and pretend I also didn't hear what I said...

Hallows-Eve Print 

I have shared Lucky Hellcat before in a previous small business blog post and because I absolutely love this print I definitely feel like she needs another share!  

This adorable print features a cute little pumpkin man called Mr Tooties (too cute right?) who is sprinkling stars in the sky to get ready for Halloween. He's also being carried by his friend Spookies who is giving him a lift through the night sky. 

You can grab this 8 x 10 signed print right here and be sure to follow Lucky Hellcat on Instagram too.

Spoopy Bat Print

The fact the word Spoopy is in the title of this print is enough to get my attention (I love how spoopy is a thing) and this print is a gorgeous. 

Featuring a Spoopy Bat carrying a Jack'o Lantern with a crescent moon behind, this print from Brett Manning Art is definitely one for the wall. Manning actually makes so many wonderfully spooky things including a throw blanket that I just had to purchase. 

You can grab this 5 x 7 print right here and be sure to follow her on Instagram too. 

Ghost Party Print

Another business I absolutely love (and have shared before) is Simply Gothic. The store stocks a bunch of different jewellery pieces along with subscription boxes and now a large amount of new prints! 

This Ghost Party Print is super cute and would make a great gift for someones birthday. Plus how great is that graveyard cake? 

You can grab this print in either A5 or A6 size right here and also follow Simply Gothic on Instagram here too. 

Ghost in the Stars Print

Rhode Montijo makes some of the best spooky products around and this print is no exception. Featuring a spooky ghost with Jack'o Lantern, bats and stars, this print is a must. 

Rhode has so many prints, pins, patches and even huge Halloween flags available in his store. So if you need a vintage style Halloween fix then you know where to go.

You can grab this signed 8 x 8 print right here and be sure to follow Montijo on Instagram too. 

The Major Arcana Poster Print

If you're into Tarot cards and also Halloween then this poster is the one for you. Featuring the full set of Major Arcana Tarot Cards on one poster, this print would look amazing on your wall.

Yosiell Lorenzo has created a whole world of Victorian Era inspired Halloween treats and as the owner of a bunch of his products they really do not disappoint at all. If you would rather have the actual Tarot Cards then you can grab those too! 

You can buy this poster print right here along with the Tarot Card set. Be sure to follow Yosiell on Instagram too!

Trick or Treat Print

This print from Simons Nest gives off so many spooky vibes and I absolutely love it. Featuring a Jack'o Lantern, bats, candy corn and an autumnal look, this print is available in multiple sizes and also on different products.

Simons Nest has quite a few Halloween products available in her store too including Candy Corn badges, tote bags and more. So be sure to check out the whole store. 

You can grab this print in A3, A4 and A5 right here and follow Simons Nest on Instagram here too. 

Hocus Pocus Emily's Funeral Print

Hocus Pocus is quite possibly the definition of a Halloween film (unless your Halloween is more of a stabby stabby kind of Halloween.... i'm looking at you Michael) and if you absolutely love it (like I do) then you'll love this print and also Sugar Mynt Gallery.

This print is a reproduction of an original storyboard for the 1993 film. It was drawn in pre-production in 1992 by Giacomo Ghiazza who was the storyboard artist for the film. Although it's a re-print it has actually been signed by Ghiazza himself. 

This particular print is taken from a deleted scene from the film where Binx watches Emilys funeral from afar, which is honestly heartbreaking.

Currently there are a total of 17 storyboard prints available from the gallery and you can check them out right here. Also follow Sugar Mynt on Instagram here too. 

Haunted House Print

Who doesn't love a Haunted House? Whether it be visiting one, looking at one, buying things to do with Haunted House or just living in one. There really is something so fascinating about a home that is haunted.

This print from Manière Noire shop is hauntingly beautiful and only available in a limited edition quantity of ten. The print itself measures 5 x 7 inches. So perfect for framing too. Look at a Haunted House while standing inside a Haunted House... bliss!

You can still grab this print right here and be sure to follow the store on Instagram too. 

Trick or Treaters Halloween Print

Trick or Treat yourself with this Trick or Treaters Halloween print from Little Spooky Studio. 

Featuring adorable kids dress in their Halloween costumes (how cute is the ghost?) this print not only would look great framed but I really love the colours used in this to give off an autumnal glow. 

It's available in 5 x 7 inch size and you can grab it right here. Be sure to also check out the rest of the Little Spooky Studio store for more spooky treats and follow LSS on Instagram too. 

Halloween Poster Print

The first time I ever came across Madame Talbot's poster prints was in Salem and the moment I saw this particular poster I knew I needed it. 

The print features all kinds of Halloween imagery, witches, skeletons, bats, owls, a grinning moon, shrieking cat and more. The colours used really add a vintage look to the entire print.  This poster is stunning and even nicer in person. 

What's more is the original design was hand drawn and then sent to the printers. So a computer has never edited or had any part is the making of this design. What you get is a re-print of the original, fully hand-drawn design. How amazing is that? 

You can grab this poster print right here and be sure to check out the entire treasure trove of posters available from the store. Oh and follow MT on Instagram too! 

Monday

It's a new week! So lets kick start this week with a super easy and quick make. You might even have one of these around the house from all the Easter Chocolate you've had. 

Todays make is this Gothic box which is made from an old Ferrero Rocher plastic box. All you need to do is spray paint it and add some embellishments for a super easy gothic make. 

Find out more and how to make it in more detail right here.

Tuesday

Today's activity should actually keep you busy for more than just a day and it's totally free! I previously released an Activity Pack to help combat boredom and also give kids a little something to do during this lockdown. 

Well last week I released another Activity Pack and this one is bigger! It once again contains colouring pages and puzzles/games but you can also make your very own Candy Corn bunting Decoration.

You can grab the first Activity Pack right here and the second pack here. If you do download and make these please do tag me in your pics as I would love to see! 

Wednesday

Let's make pancakes! These pancakes are easy to make and also low in fat. 

All you need is: 350g sieved flower, 1 tsp baking powder, 2 bananas, 2 eggs, 1 tsp of vanilla extract and 250ml of milk. 

Mash the bananas into a bowl with the eggs, vanilla extract and milk until it's all mixed together and smooth. In another bowl mix the flower and baking powder together and then combine the two mixes together. 

In a hot pan melt a little butter and pour out you desired amount. Cook for around 90 seconds to 2 minutes on each side and then serve! I had mine with syrup and sliced banana. 

Thursday

I absolutely love these. They're such a great idea and fun to make. All you really need is some paper, card and ice lolly sticks to make your very own little flying witches.

What's more is you could have a whole bunch of these on your wall or stick to your windows for Halloween. Hang them to make little ceiling decorations or even a mobile.

Find out all the details right here. 

Friday

Continuing with the witchy makes today and this one is another fun and easy project. All you need is string, pens, paper cups and some card/paper. 

You can make these hanging witches that would look great in the garden. Their little paper dresses blow in the wind along with their fuzzy paper hair.

This is another make that would be great fun with the kids and you can really make each witch your own, so you have your own little paper coven at home. 

Head on over to here to find out more and how to make them. 

Saturday

This week Saturday is movie night. And this weeks movie is HalloweenTown. I have only just watched this film recently as it never had a UK release. With the arrival of Disney+ here in the UK all four of these films are now available for your streaming pleasure. 

The film focuses on the Cromwell's who have a very long history of witchcraft and magic within the family, except the kids don't know that yet. When grandma needs help the kids take it upon themselves to not only help save HalloweenTown and it's people but also to find out who they really are in the process.

It's such a fun little film that I will definitely be watching every October from now on.

Sunday

It's your final Spooky Thing to do this week and this one is another super easy make. 

All you need is orange and black paint (black markers would be suitable too) and some empty tins. 

Make sure the tins are not sharp around the edges to avoid any cuts. All you need to do is paint them orange and draw/paint on your own Jack'O Lantern faces. You could make these into plant pots, stack them as decorations or even make your own game of bowling! Find out more right here.

Candy Corn is possibly the most loved and hated Halloween candy out of all the Halloween candy available on the market. So many people love it but at the same time so many people absolutely hate it, which personally I think is crazy. Not only is it an iconic candy but it also tastes great. 

If like me you love it then you'll love these ten Candy Corn themed products and if you don't like Candy Corn then you're in luck! As you can't eat any of these products but they'll look super cute in your home. 

Candy Corn Stained Glass Sun Catcher 

This sun catcher is handmade by Scary Carrie Designs on Etsy and would look great in your window all year long. Its made from glass, lead solder and copper foil. It comes with a hanging chain attached so you can easily hang it in the window and will cast a lovely Halloween glow across your room.

Perfect for when you're missing Halloween in the middle of Summer. What's more is that every order also comes with extra treats!

Jack-o-Corn Enamel Pin 

How great is this Jack-o-Corn pin from Sourpuss?  It's made from a mixture of enamel and metal and measures approximately 1 inch by 1.5 inch, so it's a great little spooky accessory to add to your jacket. 

The glittery design was designed by Alexandre Fische for Sourpuss. They also released a few more Candy Corn pin designs which are also available from their store right now. 

You can grab this from Sourpuss Europe or October 31st.

Candy Corn Pocket Mirror 

As a lover of Candy Corn and all things associated with it I had to add a bunch of original Candy Corn products to the October 31st store and so apart from a pillow and badge, this mirror was released last year for the 2019 Halloween range.

It's been so popular though that it looks like it's here to stay for while. The mirror fits perfectly in your pocket or make-up bag and is covered in cute Candy Corns.

20 Candy Corns in a bag from Bethany Lowe Designs

Who doesn't need a bag of twenty different sized candle corns?  These decorations will add a sweet touch (see what I did there) to your Halloween decorating for sure. The Candy Corns range from 1.25 inches to 3.5 inches high and are covered all over in glitter.

I actually own these after buying them from Zulily last year and have them sitting in a large cauldron with a few artificial autumn leaves sticking out of the sides to add an autumnal touch. They really do look great and even better in person. 

You can grab them from here and here.

Candy Corn Salt and Pepper Shakers from Johanna Parker Designs

This salt and pepper Candy Corn set is part of Johanna Parkers 2019 range and has been extremely popular. When Johanna first posted these on her instagram I knew I needed to get them and luckily I did. 

They measure approximately 3.5 inches high  and would loko great in your kitchen or on your dining table 365 days a year.

Paper Honeycomb Centrepiece Candy Corn Decoration

What's great about this decoration is that it's not only extremely cheap but also looks great. It measures approximately 30cm tall and although its designed as a table centrepiece you can always thread a little string through it and hang it around the house, on the porch, in trees (for a Halloween garden party?) or pretty much anywhere you can place it.

Candy Corn Earrings 

Handmade by Hand Craft Lab on Etsy, these Candy Corn Earrings are made from a mixture of enamel and metal alloy. They measures approximately 0.8cm by 0.6cm so fairly small but perfect to add a small touch of Halloween to your day.

You can purchase your own pair right here.

Glittery Candy Corn Pick

This Candy Corn pick from Craft Outlet can be placed into a vase on it's own to make a stand alone Halloween decoration or add it to a bunch of flowers, place in bushes when decorating outside or just about anywhere you can easily slot it into. It measures 16 inches high and has wire stems for easy adjustment. It's also cheap too at only $2.50! So why not just have a whole bunch of these sitting in a vase? 

Swipe up a bunch right here.

Corny Vinyl Sticker

Made by Creepies, this Corny Sticker features a cute little Candy Corn character who actually looks like they've eaten far too much Candy Corn themselves (would that be cannibalism? I hope not). The durable vinyl sticker measures approximately 4 inches high and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. 

You can pick one up from Creepies store right here and be sure to check out all their other wonderful treats too!

Halloween Badge Set

The last item on this list isn't just a single Candy Corn item but a bunch of wonderful Halloween treats! Created by Simons Nest on Etsy, this set includes a total of four Halloween badges with one being an adorable trio of Candy Corns.

Thursday is a baking day and it's super easy to make. You might have even made one before, so for today we're making Apple Pie! But this one has a spooky twist! 

I actually made an apple pie for the first time on the weekend and really enjoyed it, I was also surprised how easy and quick it was to make and hopefully you'll enjoy this one too.

Friday

It's movie night! And this weeks movie is Donnie Darko. The film was released in 2001 and on it's original release didn't do well at the box office. It only made $7,500,000 on a $4,000,000 budget but after it went to Dvd the film started to gather success and even developed a cult following. Donnie Darko is dark, a little confusing at times (but it all makes sense in the end) but overall a brilliantly creepy film. A sequel was also released in 2009. The film stars Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaul, Drew Barrymore and Patrick Swayze!

A troubled teenager is plagued by visions of a man in a large rabbit suit who manipulates him to commit a series of crimes, after he narrowly escapes a bizarre accident.

Saturday

Todays make is really easy to do and you can make it with pretty much anything around your house. It comes from the wonderful guys over at Your Best Halloween Ever! 

All you need are buttons and something that is a shape (official instructions! :) once you have those things get glueing everything together to make something that would look great on your wall. I love the star that has been made and how it has autumnal vibes! If you make something yourself please do tag Your Best Halloween Ever! on Instagram and be sure to check our their website too.

Sunday

Today is the last day for this weeks spooky things and its a great day for a bath. As today we're making Pumpkin Bath Bombs!
