New Hocus Pocus and The Nightmare Before Christmas Goblets Coming Soon!

2/7/2023

Drink your spooky cocktails in style this year as Enesco has revealed brand new Hocus Pocus and The Nightmare Before Christmas goblets are coming soon!

The new goblets are part of the Disney Showcase range and are due for release August this year. Each goblet has a stainless steel insert for easy cleaning and measures approximately 7.5 inches tall. 

My favourite of the new releases is definitely the Sarah Sanderson goblet, the amount of detail that's gone into making it really is stunning! Each goblet is also hand crafted and hand painted. 

You can pre-order the goblets from Entertainment Earth, with more stores expected to add these soon too. 

This isn't the only Hocus Pocus release from Enesco this year too, they previously revealed a brand new Sanderson Sisters ornament which will be a new release from their Jim Shore range. The new ornament is due for release May of this year.

Picture
Funkoween returned for a third year in a row this week and the three day event did not disappoint!

Heaps of new Funko Pops and Loungefly products were revealed which included new and returning franchises. The most popular film this year was definitely The Nightmare Before Christmas, with plenty of new treats being revealed. 

Neon Pops also appeared to have a big focus this year too, with many Funkos receiving the neon treatment. 

I've put together some of my favourite reveals from this years event but be sure to also check out the official Funko social pages or search #Funkoween to view even more of this years releases.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

The Nightmare Before Christmas was clearly the dominating film this year for new releases and fans can look forward to new Funko Pops, Keychains, T-shirts and even a new calendar! 
Picture

Bride of Chucky

Bride of Chucky Fans have been treated to five new Pops, new Pins and a brand new Loungefly bag too!

Hocus Pocus

Hocus Pocus fans were treated to two surprises this week. The first being this brand new Movie Moments Funko Pop which features the Sanderson Sisters during their performance of "I Put A Spell On You". This new Pop will be available exclusively at Spirit Halloween in the USA and will be coming to Shop Disney in Europe and the UK later this year. 

The release date for the upcoming sequel was also revealed this week, with the film being released exclusively on Disney+ September 30th 2022.

Disney Villains

If you're a Disney Villain fan then you're in luck! A new Disney Villain Funko Train, larges Pops, Mystery Minis and more were all revealed this week. 

Trick 'r Treat

Two new Trick 'r Treat Pops were revealed this week. A new Sam holding his Lollipop and Sam holding a Sack Funko Pops will be released later this year, along with new treats from Loungefly. 

I do love seeing more TrT Pops but it would be great to see a few more characters in the future. 

Disney

Disney are continuing with the Funko Halloween line and have revealed six new Pops along with new Loungefly bags and clothing too!

The Simpsons

The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Pops are coming soon, which also includes for the first time ever, two new Itchy and Scratchy Funko Pops too! 

Soda Pops

Soda Pops have definitely increased in popularity over the years, so it's nice to see even more new characters being revealed. Some of the newest reveals include Duncan from Stranger Things and Slimer from Ghostbusters.

Boo Hollow

The Boo Hollow range is such a spooky cute range and it's nice to see you'll be seeing even more of this range in the future. New plushies, Pops and mystery minis are just some of the new treats coming your way soon.

Horror

Leprechaun has received the Pop treatment with three new Pops! You'll also be able to get your hands on a new Carrie Pop and new neon IT and Michael Myers too. 

Nosferatu

Nosferatu is another new additional to the Funko Pop line! This new Pop will be available in two different designs.

4/28/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
This week Disney have been sharing heaps of updates with regards to Disney Parks as part of their Halfway to Halloween Celebration. 

One of the biggest announcements so far is that Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party is finally returning to the part and will once again include the Hocus Pocus themed Villain Spelltacular! 
The Spelltacular features a park exclusive Sanderson Sister storyline and due to the pandemic, has been cancelled the past two years but it's back and by the looks of it... better than ever! 

With the announcement of the returning Halloween Party, Disney have also revealed a whole bunch of brand new Halloween merchandise that will be available later this year. Everything pictured will be available from Disney Parks and ShopDisney over the next few months, with the return of the Spelltacular and MNSSHP returning this August. 

Hocus Pocus

Hocus Pocus merchandise was definitely at the top of my list I was looking forward to seeing this year and Disney definitely have not disappointed! 

Available later this year, you'll be able to get your hands on a. new Sanderson Sisters "Trouble is Brewing" tumbler, ceramic double sided cauldron, light up Binx Cauldron and large Hocus Pocus cauldron with spoon cup too!

Mickey and Friends Halloween Merchandise

Disney Halloween just wouldn't be Disney Halloween without Mickey and so this year Disney are releasing new Mickey ears and caps, a brand new Spirit Jersey, Pajama Sets and an adorable Halloween Loungefly bag. 

Haunted Mansion and Silly Symphonies 

I am OBSESSED with the new Silly Symphonies merchandise and you'll be able to get your claws on a brand new jacket, hoody and crew neck. A cute Haunted Mansion bag will also be available. 

The Nightmare Before Christmas

And finally Disney are treating us to even more The Nightmare Before Christmas goodies with new Oogie Boogie themed ears, a new bag, floating Zero and light up party necklace too! 
This is only a small handful of what to expect this year from Disney to keep your eyes opened for even more reveals as we creep closer to Halloween.

What's This? New Collection Full Reveal!

2/25/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
What's This? Is a brand new collection that will be dropping next week, March 4th! 

The collection has been a labour of love that I have been working on since the start of 2021 and I am over the moon to finally share it with you all. What's This? is inspired by one of the best Halloween/Christmas films and I think you can easily tell which one. Although originally planned to be released around October last year, life seemed to get in the way and planning was pushed back, but it's finally here! 

I absolutely love this film and it was so much fun putting this collection together and I really hope you'll enjoy it too! 

Everything in this post will be available 6PM March 4th 2022 via October31st.co.uk.

Postcards

Four brand new postcards will be available next week. Two of these designs are also available on a matching mug.

​Gift Wrap

Three new designs of gift wrap will be hitting the store too. Although I did design them all (so technically love them all), I have to say the patch work paper is definitely my favourite of the three. 

The green paper was also available in December with a Christmas theme, the red paper has been swapped for green and the overall design has removed snow flakes and replaced them with bugs. 

Stickers

These stickers were the very first things that were designed for this collection and they have been ready for literally months., so it's great to finally put them out into the world. Each sticker is made from waterproof vinyl and will be available individually and as a set. 
Picture

Greeting Cards

Greeting cards are always so popular in my store, so it was only right I created three new ones. Making Birthday, Well, well, well and Witch's fondest dream cards all come in A6 size, with the Well, well, well card also having a few extra bugs on the back too. 

Mugs

These mugs are also available in matching postcards, which together would make an amazing gift! These are limited but will be back in stock asap if they sell out. 

PRINTS

The second product that was designed for this collection would be the Skellington Bones print. These prints are designed to be Halloween advertisement prints, the kind of things you would expect to find in windows and magazines. All prints are A4 in size with a matt finish, so they're super soft!

Pillows!

It's been a while since I've made new originally pillows, so it was great to come up with three new designs. These pillows will be sold as a set of three!

Notepad

Need to make plans for next Halloween? Well not you can! This A6 notepad contains 25 pages and is perfect for all of your spooky Halloween 2022 plans. 
Picture

Record Player Slipmat

The first ever record player slipmat that will be hitting my store and it definitely had to be this particular design. 

This design came to mind in early 2021 and had gone through a few design stages before it was finally complete. I am absolutely love it though and it looks great when it spins. 
Picture

Pocket Mirrors

Two pocket mirrors in an Oogie and Skeleton Jack design will be available! 
Picture

Badges

And finally there will be five new badges available. These badges will be sold individually and part of a set, at a slightly cheaper price. 
Picture
This collection will continue to grow throughout the year, so expect many more new products to join this range. Due to the many design phases of this collection too, there will also be the first ever seconds sale where a small number of mugs and prints will be sold at a lower price. The seconds sale will not go live on the same day but will be available sometime in March.

Twenty Creepy Christmas Products That Will Add A Spooky Touch To Your Home This Year!

11/24/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
It's that time of year again... the spookiest and best time has crept by and we're now entering the jolliest part of the year.... Christmas or as many of us like to call it Creepmas (or Gothmas). 

So for those of you who are missing Halloween and all of its spooky goodness, i've put together a list of some of my favourite Creepmas finds so far this year that will help you bring a little bit of Halloween into your home in December.

​What's more is that all of these products are from Small Businesses too, so you'll be helping the little guys with any purchase you make. 

Picture
Krampus Nesting Dolls
​

This set of nesting dolls from The Tile Sticker Company feature five Krampus and Santa dolls that would make the perfect decoration for your home year after year.

The dolls are handcrafted and also come in a fancy box too! You can grab your own set right here.

Picture
Krampus Candle

How cool is this candle? It's available in full colour or a sandstone design and each one is hand carved. The design is incredible and definitely something you will want to add to your mantlepiece. 

I know I wouldn't be able to burn this so this could easily be something that is put out year after year.

Each candle measures approximately 7 inches and is made using soy wax, which can also be scented from a whole range of different scents. So if you're after a seasonal scent too, then you're in luck! 

You can grab one right here from Heathen Wax Works. 

Picture
Ouija Planchette Hanging Decoration

Literally add a spooky touch to your Creepmas tree with this Planchette decoration from Rebel Soul UK. 

Each decoration is handmade and finished off with a black ribbon for easy hanging. The Rebel Soul UK store also contains a whole heap of other hanging decorations (and many other treats) for your tree and home this year. 

You can grab your very own Ouija decoration right here. 

Picture
Christmas Bats Greeting Card

One thing I especially love about this time of year is greeting cards! I don't send many but those that I do, I always like to get the best alternative cards I can find and this one is no exception. 

This card features cute bats flying around the Christmas tree and it is perfect for a spooky friend in your life. 

You can grab this card (and many other designs) from Teeth and Claws right here. 

Picture
Krampus Acrylic Brooch ​

I have shared treats from Dolly Cool a few times before and I am sharing another today because once again this years Christmas range is amazing. 

Look how incredible this Krampu Brooch is! It's made using black glitter acrylic, with a red marble style acrylic layered on top, then hand finished using acrylic paint and also hand polished. This pin is pretty much perfection. 

The brooch is one product that you can wear year after year for sure! Be sure to also check out even more wonderful Christmas treats available from the Dolly Cool store and grab your own Krampus brooch right here.

Picture
Ghost Hanging Decoration

This little cutie is a 3D printed ghost thats made using PLA. PLA is a biodegradable alternative to plastic and is made using raw materials which biodegrade in a matter of months and not years. How cool is that? 

The decoration is also hand decorated and finished with a wire hook for easy hanging. You can grab this little ghoul from Thunder and Crafting who also have a bunch of other spooky decorations and wire creations, including a Ouija tree decoration! 

Grab your own little cute ghost right here. 

Picture
Tombstone Decoration

These Tombstone decorations from Skullduggery Ceramics are handmade using white earthenware clay and are inscribed with the words Memento Mori underneath a sinister set of skull and crossbones. 

Each decoration is glazed with a monochrome gloss finish and topped off with a cute ribbon for easy hanging. 

I absolutely love Skullduggery Ceramics and the store is bursting with all kinds of gothic treats that you definitely need to check out right here.

Picture
Giant Snake Gift Wrap

If you love The Nightmare Before Christmas then you will love this giant snake inspired gift wrap from The Crafty B. 

The gift wrap features the famous orange and black snake that gobbles up the tree in the classic film, along with purple and black stripes. This gift wrap would look amazing on any gift this year and what's more is that there is a whole range of wraps that you can buy from The Crafty B store along with Creepmas cards, decorations and more!

You can check out the full Creepmas range right here. 

Picture
Large Spider Snowflakes

Continuing with The Nightmare Before Christmas inspired products, this hanging spider decoration looks identical to the spider Jack cuts out in the film from paper and with that being said it looks amazing.

The Spider Decoration is 3D printed and actually comes as a set of four, which for the price (£4.50) is such a steal. They're also available in white too, so if black isn't your thing, the lighter design might just make you part with your pennies. 

You can grab a set of these from Sinister Signs right here and be sure to check out all the other treats available from the store too. 

Picture
Hanging Ornament Set

Yup you guessed it, another The Nightmare Before Christmas inspired product (you can never have enough TNBC really though can you?). These handmade clay hanging ornaments are inspired by the jars seen within the film. 

Each one is made using air drying clay, hand painted with acrylics and varnished to ensure your decorations last for many years to come. These decorations are available from Black Star Clay Designs on Etsy and you can grab them right here along with many more treats!

Picture
Ginger Dead Man Plushie

Who needs Elf on a Shelf when you can have Ginger Dead on a bed? (I tried). This adorably sinister Ginger Dead Plushie from Creepies looks unfortunately festive and would look so great placed on the tree or around the home this Creepmas. 

This is another product that you could easily bring out year after year. The plushie measures approximately 20cm high and is 100% polyester. You can grab your own Ginger Dead Man right here and like always, be sure to check out all of the other treats from one of my favourite stores!

Picture
Entering Salem Ornament

Why not add a little touch of the witch city to your home this year? These handmade hanging decorations from Loveless House come all the way from the USA and they feature the famous Entering Salem Town Sign. 

Each decoration is hand painted, sealed with clear resin to ensure your design last for many years to come and finally finished off with a small bow for a little festive cheer. 

I have ordered from Loveless House in the past and trust me when I say these products are incredible and even nicer in person. You can grab your own Salem decoration right here and don't forget to check out the many other treats available from the store too. 

Picture
The Spirit of Christmas Greeting Card

These greeting cards from SandStar Art are adorable and available in two different sizes (A5 & A6). They are sold individually and also as a set of 4 in the A6 size too. 

The store also has so many other spooky treats that I know you'll absolutely love. Just a little warning though... there is an adorable Ghost Decoration available currently and yes you will want it and yes you will find it hard to resist... like I am. 

Grab this greeting card right here and once again be sure to check out all of the other spooky treats available!

Picture
Bat Print Christmas Stocking

The spooky stockings were hung in the crypt with a scare! This handmade stocking features a black and white bat design and is finished off with a white faux fur trim. 

This would look great hanging on your fireplace or even at the end of your bed (just make sure Krampus doesn't get your toes). One thing I love about this is that it's reversible and the bat print is also sewn on the inside so you can easily turn it inside out for easy placement. 

Check out all of the wonderful spooky treats from Sew Haunting including this stocking right here. 

Picture
Christmas Black Hat Mini Ceramic Pumpkins 

If you're missing Halloween (like all of us right?) then this festive pumpkin will definitely help ease the passing of the best time of year. 

This ceramic Pumpkin from Black Star Ceramics features a sinister grin with cute black Santa hat. Add a battery tealight to the base and you've got your very own light up Creepmas Jack'o Lantern. You can also grab this ghoul with a red hat or if you're not feeling pumpkins for Creepmas then a festive skull or snowman might just do the trick.

Black Star Ceramics have a full Christmas range currently available with many traditional and non-tradition treats available right here. 

Picture
Gothic Skeleton Tree Ornaments 

If you want to add a little bit of the afterlife to your tree this year then these Skeleton Animal Ornaments are a must! They're available in one of seven different designs or if you like, you can grab the full set of seven for a lower price. 

Each decoration is made using PLA (which is a biodegradable material) and hand finished using acrylic paints. 

I'm getting major Corpse Bride vibes from these decorations and these would look so great with a blue and white theme! Grab one or all seven of these ornaments via the Yumiland store right here. 

Picture
Ouija Board Tree Ornaments 

These mini Ouija Board Tree Ornaments are handmade by The Witch At One And Seventy are come as a set of two. 

Each board has a mini planchette attached and are made from mountboard, kraft card and paper. The attached loop allows for easy hanging too so you'll have a haunted tree in no time (haunting not guaranteed). 

Grab a set of these right here and be sure to check out all of the other spooky goodies available from the store too!

Picture
Gothic Christmas Gift Tags

If you love wrapping then you'll love these tags. They're available in two different designs (the Skelebread Design is so cool!) and are available as a set of three or five tags. 

Each tag also comes with attached string for easy attachment to your gifts and will finish off your Creepmas presents perfectly! 

Grab a set from the Possessed Print Shop right here. 

Picture
Creepmas Greeting Card Set

This set of three Creepmas cards from Littlest Spook Shop includes three adorable ghost design greeting cards. 

You can grab this set in A5 and A6 sizes too! These cards would definitely be a hit when given out to friends and family or why not frame them and bring them back out each year instead? I honestly don't think I could give them away as they really are such great designs. 

Pick up a set of cards and also check out all of the super cute ghostie designs from this wonderful little store right here. 

Picture
The Nightmare Before Christmas inspired Snake Wreath

The final entry on this list of wonderful small business products is this amazing The Nightmare Before Christmas inspired Snake Wreath. 

This handmade wreath features the snake from the film with the remainder of the Christmas tree still poking out of his mouth. You can purchase this wreath with or without the black bow.  One thing for sure is that it will definitely add a spooky touch to your home! 

If  the snake isn't your thing then why not check out the Zero or Vampire Teddy wreath too? You can pick up this wreath and many other treats from the Hey Florencia store right here.

Funkoween Is Here! Halloween-Themed Funko Releases You Need This Year!

5/22/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Funko has official made this week (May 18th-22nd) Funkoween and all week they have been revealing Halloween-themed Pops that will be hitting stores this year. 

From The Nightmare Before Christmas all the way to brand new Countdown Calendars there really is something for everyone and this week's releases have been so great to see each day. 

I've put together a list of some of my favourite reveals for you to check out below. Now excuse me while I figure out how badly my bank account is going to be hit...
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? ​
Disney Halloween Mickey and Minnie 

How cute are these Minnie and Mickey Halloween Pops? Personally I have never been a huge fan of Mickey and Minnie as they're just not my thing but these I actually really love. The contrast of colours used really gives them a classic/vintage style look. I would by lying if I said I wasn't tempted to purchase these for myself this year.
Picture
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. ​
Picture
Hocus Pocus Flying Sanderson Sisters

For the third year in a row Funko are releasing more new Hocus Pocus Pops. As a huge fan of this film I am excited to add these to my collection. Funko have already released 7 other Sanderson Sister pops the first being the standard Sanderson Sisters with their brooms, the second release saw them posing (Mary with her cheese balls is still my favourite of them all) and the Movie Moment set which featured all three sisters around a cauldron. 

This year we will once again see the Sanderson Sisters return but this time they're flying. As much as I do love these pops, I am slightly disappointed by the lack of other characters that Funko are still yet to release (or even consider). It would be great to see Dani, Max, Billy, even the Mom dressed as Madonna would be amazing. Come on Funko get releasing more from this classic!
Picture
Halloween Minions! 

The Minions are now getting a Halloween makeover too with a brand new set of Halloween Pops. Available in five different designs, you'll be able to add these to the already growing collection of Minion pops.
Picture
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. ​
Picture
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. ​
Picture
Zombieland 

When I first saw they had revealed Zombieland Funko Pops this week I honestly thought these had already been released, so it was a nice surprise to find they're a new release. All but Little Rock are available from the Zombieland range which I honestly don't see the logic behind releasing all but one of the main characters but then giving Bill Murray two Pops? I can only assume more Pops are on the way in the future which will include the much needed Little Rock to complete this already awesome collection.
Picture
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. ​
Picture
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.
Picture
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? 
Picture
Halloween Countdown Calendar

The final release on this list is this new countdown Calendar. Designed to countdown the days to Halloween, this calendar includes 13 mini Funko Pops from some of the most popular film franchises around. Annabelle, IT, Little Shop of Horrors, The Shining, The Nun, Beetlejuice, The Exorcist, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th and The Lost boys are all included in this release which actually makes up a total of ten confirmed Pops. Does this mean there are three more film Pops to be revealed or will this 13 figure set include 3 Pops from the same films?

This is an awesome release from Funko and I really hope they release these every year with new Pops each time. A 31 day calendar would also be awesome too. My only criticism to this calendar is that I wish the countdown started at 13 and then went down to 1 for Halloween but other than that it's perfect!

Ten Spooky Games To Kill Some Time (and not each other)

3/25/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
If like me you're at home right now and can't go out then you'll most likely get a little bored over the next few weeks, so to kill some time (and not each other) here are a bunch of games i've scoured the web for that you can buy right now and play with others you're currently with.  

Hopefully these will help you fight boredom and also stay safe at home until all of this is over. 

I have included a number of links for each game to give you more options on where to get it and also different prices. If a link doesn't apply to your location, you can still find a lot of these games elsewhere. 

Picture
Horrified

Horrified is an official Universal Studios Monsters game where the most iconic monsters are coming for you! 

In the game you have to work together to defend the town from Frankenstein, Dracula, Frankensteins Bride, Wolfman, The Mummy, The Invisible Man and The Creature from the Black Lagoon (how cool!). It's aimed at ages ten and up and has an average game play time of around 1 hour.

What's really cool as well is the game includes seven paintable mini monster playing pieces and is suitable for 1-5 players.
​
You can grab this game right now from Amazon UK, Amazon US, John Lewis and 365 Games.

Picture
Halloween Charades 
Who doesn't love Charades? Usually played on Christmas Day, this Halloween edition is perfect for not only October but all year! You'll most likely need a couple of people to play but it's so cheap you and your friends could all order it and play through webcam for now. 

The game includes 50 charade cards along with 3 mini certificates for best, worst and the overall winner. 

Grab this game from Amazon UK or Ebay.

Picture
The Nightmare Before Christmas Monopoly

This one might be best not to play during lockdown considering how many arguments it seems to cause but you can't deny it's pretty cool right? 

The Nightmare Before Christmas Monopoly is the same classic game we've all played before but with a NBC twist. It includes 6 game pieces along with Jack Skellington cash and a Halloween Town themed playing board. Monopoly is suitable for 2-8 players.

You can grab your very own NBC Monopoly from Amazon UK, Amazon US and GAME.

Picture
Stupid Deaths

Stupid Deaths looks like a lot of fun! A lot of dark fun that is... the goal of the game is to guess whether a somewhat stupid death is true or false. You're also being chased by the Grim Reaper and for every correct guess you can move your playing piece a little closer to home, get it wrong and you have to move the Reaper closer to you instead.

If the Reaper catches up with you then it's game over. You do also have extra life cards to save yourself but they're limited. 

Stupid Deaths is aimed at 2-6 players and is for ages 12 and up. 

Grab Stupid Deaths from Amazon UK, Amazon US and Menkind.

Bugacula

Bugacula is a short but very fun and very repetitive game so you can easily play this over and over again. The goal of the game is to light as many candles across the board as you can without Bugacula catching you and lure him onto the catapult where you can literally fire him across the board and out of the castle.

It's a fun game that might be a little tricky to set up (there are a lot of pieces) but it's aimed at ages 6 and up so is sure to be a lot of fun!

You can buy Bugacula from Amazon UK, Amazon US and  Smyths Toys.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - The Board Game

If you love Buffy then you will love this game! The goal of the game is to help Buffy and her friends defend the town of Sunnydale from vampires and demons. Oh and the big bad... who once again wants to open the Hellmouth and destroy everything as we know it. 

You can use special abilities to fight the demons and also play as various characters from the show including Willow, Spike, Xander and even Buddy herself.

Help Buffy save the day and grab this game from Amazon UK and Amazon US.

Halloween Twist and Bend

If you've played Twister then you already know how to play this game and if you haven't, it's so easy to play. All you need to do is spin the dial to see where it lands, you then place your left/right hand/foot onto the square that goes with the Halloween symbol. 

The more tangled up you get the more likely you are to fall and drop out of the game. This is always a classic game to play throughout the year and loads of fun. The fact that it has a Halloween twist is even better too!

Grab your very own Twist and Bend game from Amazon UK, October 31st and Party Avenue.

Stack the Bones

Another game that is similar to a classic game is Stack the Bones. If you have played Jenga then you'll know what to do. The goal of the game is to remove a piece from the stack and place it on top. The higher it gets and the more pieces placed on top the more likely it will fall over. 

The winner is the player who manages to remove and place the last piece on top without it falling over. What I love about this is that instead of the usual blocks that you remove it's actually bone shapes that make up the pieces. It's a simply change that is such a great idea. 

Get stacking from Amazon UK, Amazon US and Beaumonde.

Smashing Pumpkins 

Smashing Pumpkins is a fun, quick game for ages 6 and up. In the game you have to create 3 piles of cards, each round the player places a card onto a pile and each player continues to do so until all three cards have the same matching symbol. If all three cards reveal the same symbol then its a smash! The player who manages to get rid of all of their cards first is the winner. 

Each card has spooky and pumpkin themed images like Pumpkin Spiced Lattes and Jack'o Lanterns, which makes this game even more fun. Oh and it's all house in a Pumpkin box!

Grab your own Smashing Pumpkins game from Amazon UK, Menkind, John Lewis and Zatu.

Ouija

Ouija was originally created in 1894 and has long been associated with the dead. Using the Planchette you can use the board to speak with the dead and ask questions. If the planchette begins to move by itself then you'll be getting answers whether you like them or not... or so they say. 

Believed by many to actually work and many who think its all false, this is one board game you can easily play at home but for this one i'm not including any links.

No one said anything about social distancing from the dead now did they?
