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 August 31st to September 6th.

There are only 5 Seven Spooky Things blog posts left before they end and October arrives! Eeek!

Check out all of this weeks daily tasks below:

Monday

We're starting this week with a quick and easy make. These hanging bat bell jars are made by printing and cutting out these different bat silhouettes and then stringing them together to make them look like they're flying around the jars.

For those of you who don't have a bell jar at hand then why not substitute this for a large jar? Either way they look great and are such a simply make to put together. 

​Find out more details right here.

Today we're making and baking! With Autumn less than a month away, it's getting closer to the best time of the year where it's all about cosy jumpers, curling up with a book or in front of the tv and lots and lots of nice warming foods! 

This recipe for Pumpkin Pie is easy to whip together and tastes great. I recently tried Pumpkin Pie for the very first time and absolutely loved it. I can definitely see myself making it for many, many years to come each Aututmn.

So if you've never made it before or even if like me, you've never tried it before then lets get making this today! Find out the full recipe right over here.

Wednesday

Another easy make for the middle of the week today and it's another cheap one too! Today's fake Crow Taxidermy diy can easily be put together with things you can grab from Poundland and other budget stores. 

The article also shows you how to make extra wall-worthy treats too including decorative spider plaques and spiderweb dream catchers!

Head right on over to here to see how to make your own decorative treat.

Thursday

I absolutely love spooky shadowboxes and this one is no exception. This can easily be put together with things from your local craft store (Hobbycraft will definitely be your friend for the box) and it won't take you long to make either. 

One thing I love about this is the use of the battery tealight candle, when placed behind the haunted house silhouette the windows flicker and glow. 

You can find out all the details on how to make your very own haunted house shadow box right here.

Friday

Continuing with Tuesdays Pumpkin Pie recipe, I stumbled across this easy Pumpkin Pie Garland craft project too which I think looks really great.

It would be a nice little autumnal decoration in your home, especially in your kitchen and as it's easy to store away after use, you can use it year after year. Maybe use this to decorate your dining room when having guests over for an autumnal feast. 

You can read up on all the details on how to make your own garland right here.

Saturday

We're going to end the makes this week with how we started this week... and that's with another Bat DIY. 

This Hanging Bat Table Centrepiece looks complicated but it's actually another really easy make, with the majority of the items required possibly already being available within your home. 

This is designed to hang above your dining room table however if that's not something you're up for, why not place the branches inside glass jars and bottles instead? To make your own hanging bats just click right here.

Sunday

It's the last day of the week and we're going to close this week with a movie night. This weeks film is the incredible Scream. Released in 1996 Scream has become a cult hit and is one of the best slasher films around. 

It's personally one of my favourite films and the 3 sequels that followed are also great too. 

Scream focuses on Sidney Prescott whose own mother was murdered a year ago and must try and survive a new killer who is out to get her and her friends. 

 If you've never seen any of the Scream films before then you're in for a treat as they'll leave you wondering who the killer is from start to finish. Once you've watched all four films (Scream 5 is also being released in 2022) why not check out the TV show too? Although no where near as good as the films, all three seasons are fun to watch and you can even check out a Halloween special episode too.

Seven Spooky TV Shows to Binge Watch (Part 1)

3/27/2020

As many of us are at home at the moment you might be wondering what to do. You've cleaned the house, organised those cupboards, caught up on any other tasks but now what?

Well it's time to BINGE watch your new favourite show of course. So grab whatever snacks you have, a big blanket and wrap yourself up with these seven TV shows that will help past a few days at least. 

Picture
Buffy the Vampire Slayer

This one is worthy of many, MANY Binge watches because honestly Buffy is amazing. Sure season 1 & 2 haven't aged too well but they're still worthy of being watched over and over. Buffy has a total of 7 seasons and 144 episodes with each episode being around 44 minutes each... thats a lot of binge watching to be had. 

​Plus if you come to the end of all seven seasons and need more of the Buffyverse in your life then also check out the spin off show Angel. Angel has five seasons and 111 episodes in total so you're pretty much all set. 

Picture
Six Feet Under
​
I miss Six Feet Under. I MISS IT! Six Feet Under follows the Fisher family who run a funeral home in Los Angeles and it's all about the ups and downs of family life and everything in between. It's such a brilliant show and so well written that if you have never seen it before it's pretty much guaranteed to become one of your favourites. It also has one of the best TV show endings I have ever seen. 

Six Feet Under has a total of five seasons and 63 episodes all running around 55 minutes each. 

Picture
The Haunting of Hill House

Hill House was huge when it was first released on Netflix and if you've never seen it, where have you been hiding? If like the many hidden ghosts in each episode you've missed it then now is the time to check this show out. You could easily binge all of this in one day (if you start fairly early that is) so it's not a huge time killer but you'll easily pass the day away. Season One clocks in at a total of 10 episodes all around 50 minutes each. 

What's more is that it's already been given a season 2 and just like the next show on the list will be a new anthology show. The Haunting of Bly Manor is the official title for season 2 and will be available 2020.

Picture
​American Horror Story

American Horror Story is an anthology show so you don't necessarily need to watch each season in order or even all seasons to get into it. I actually started watching AHS from season 3 and then worked my way backwards. 
Each season has a new theme and the same cast but as different characters (with changes here and there) and with nine seasons and 103 episodes this is one show you can binge for sure. 

So whether you're interested in ghosts, witches, serial killers, aliens, a travelling freak show, the apocalypse and more, this show has something for everyone! 

It's also already been renewed right up to season 13! 

Picture
Scream the TV Series

If you're a fan of the Scream films (raises hand enthusiastically) then you'll enjoy Scream the TV Series. It doesn't have the same amount of suspense as the original films but it's worthy of a watch. 

Scream has a total of 3 seasons with 30 episodes, the final episode of Season 2 being a two-part Halloween special. Series 1 and 2 follow Emma Duval who is being stalked by a killer who is slowly killing people she knows one by one. Season 3 changes characters and location entirely and you're treated to a brand new story to sink your knives into. 

Picture
Ash vs Evil Dead

Ash vs Evil Dead is brilliant! If you're a fan of the original films then you will love this. It follows Ash (Played by Bruce Campbell) who has to fight the Evil Dead once again and save mankind. He has help though with his partners in crime Pablo and Kelly. The show has a total of three seasons and 30 episodes all timing in at around 30 minutes each. 

What's makes this show great isn't just the return of Bruce Campbell but it also has other returning characters from the films as well as being created by Sam Raimi who created the original trilogy.

Picture
Goosebumps

As a kid I remember going into WH Smiths with my parents and looking at all of the Goosebumps books, wanting every single one of them. Especially the choose your own adventure books. At the time the TV show was also on TV and although it's no longer running it is still worthy of a watch. 

I recently watched episodes of the original show and it's a little cheesy in parts but so much fun. It ran for a total of 4 seasons and and has 74 episodes. When you're done you'll also have the 235 books to read and also the two movies that were released in 2015 and 2018. 

So thats seven tv shows to binge watch this week! Keep an eye open for part 2 next week!
