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 June 29th to July 5th. 

Check out all of this weeks daily tasks below:

Monday

We're starting this week with a big make, it's big but cheap and looks amazing! These milk carton witches are made using tomato cages (which you can currently pick up for cheap from most stores stocking gardening products), paints, wire, pens and a few other things you might have around the house already. 

You can make these easily in a day. Why not make more than one and create your own little coven of witches? 
Find out everything you need to make this right here.

Tuesday

Your next make for this week are these easy Halloween Mickey Mouse ears! 

As Disneyland begins to reopen you might be wanting to visit the park and these would be perfect. If you're more into staying at home then why not have a fun little Disney party with these too? Put on Halloween Town or Hocus Pocus and get making!

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

Wednesday

We've hit the middle of the week and so today instead of making or watching something we're going to be doing a little light reading. 

I recently came across this short article that features 11 of the UK's most haunted places. It's a quick but fun read and actually might encourage you to research these a little more to find out even more of the spooky happenings going on at each of these sites. 

Check out The Top 11 Most Haunted Places to Visit In Britain via Kayak.

Thursday

We're back to making again today and this make might take you a few days to complete (clay needs to dry) but the final product really does look so awesome! 

These skull and skeleton hand bottles only require bottles, clay, sculpting tools (or make do with what you have at hand if it works) and glue. Similar bottles like this are almost always available during the spookiest month of the year, so why not make them yourself this year instead? You could even change up the bone colours and shapes of the skulls. 

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

Friday

This week Friday is movie night and this weeks film is the latest instalment in the Halloween franchise, 2018's Halloween.

If you haven't seen this film yet (where have you been?) then you're in for a treat. I know a small amount of people didn't like the sequels and remakes  of the original film so you'll be pleased to know that this film actually retcons every film made past the first one and places itself as a direct sequel to the 1978 release. 

Forty years have passed since the massacre in Haddonsfield and Laurie Stroke has been preparing for Michaels return ever since. When the bus transporting him to a different prison crashes he makes his escape and returns to Haddonsfield once more on Halloween night. 

Personally I think this film definitely breathed new life into the franchise and being a huge fan, I was extremely pleased with the film. There are small nods to other films throughout (the kids wearing the Silver Shamrock masks was my favourite Easter Egg) and some scenes that directly mirror the original. 

If you haven't seen this film yet then you must check it out and get yourself ready for this years Halloween Kills.

Saturday

I have shared how to make your very own DIY Witch Broom in the past but the previous tutorial showed you how to make a full size broom, so today we're making smaller witches brooms and in two ways! 

The tutorial shows you how to make a broom from twigs or grass and also has even more instructions on how to make different wreaths to go with it too.

Check out how to make todays super easy make right here.

Sunday

Your final project today is the easiest and quickest out of all of this weeks makes. 

These free printables will transform any old books or even book storage boxes into magical spell books. There are even labels to make your very own Dead Sea Salt jars and they're all free to download and print too. 

So you can get planning your Halloween party theme for this year or adding a little touch of magic to your home for free! Download and print these right here.

3/4/2020

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). ​

First look at this years Halloween 2018 range from October 31st

​If you've been checking out the October 31st Facebook page and Instagram account recently you will have noticed an announcement for a brand new range! 

Today you can see your first look at two new products that will launch with the range. The October 31st Halloween 2018 range is inspired by vintage pumpkins and black cats and will consist of nine new products and all will be limited edition, so once they're gone, they're gone for good! 
Picture
Two new badges make up part of the new range and they feature a black cat and pumpkin. They'll be sold individually and will be limited to 25 each. Joining the cat and pumpkin designs will also be an adorable ghost. The ghost that will be part of this range is already available on another product in store... but it's too cute to not include as a limited product.

Keep checking the blog, Instagram and Facebook for more previews of products and also the exact date this new range will launch in September! ​
