8 ways to celebrate Halloween this year
It’s October (AKA spooky szn), so now is the perfect time to get your Halloween on! From decor to spooky film nights, Halloween doesn’t need to be spenny—here are 8 ways to celebrate Halloween on a budget this year.
1. Pumpkin picking
If you’ve been on the gram or TikTok over the last week, you’ll see that ✨everyone✨is Pumpkin picking this year. Find your local pumpkin picking patch and get into the Halloween spirit with some vibey pictures and allllll the pumpkins.
2. Serve Halloween looks
Halloween is the best time to experiment with makeup looks! Grab your dark makeup and eyeliner, and see what you can create. If you need to re-up on anything, there’s always Cult Beauty, LOOKFANTASTIC and more!
3. Spooky film night
Jumpscare! Grab your fave spooky-themed snacks and have a cosy night in watching scary or spooky films with your fave people. Need some inspo? Check out these films on Disney+:
- Alien
- Black Swan
- Hocus Pocus and Hocus Pocus 2
- Signs
- The Boogeyman
- The Hills Have Eyes
- The Omen
- The Other Side of The Door
- The Sixth Sense
- What Lies Beneath
4. Deck your halls with Halloween vibes
Grab your mini pumpkins and decorations to get in the Halloween spirit this szn. Give your room a creepy makeover and check out The Range for Halloween decor, lights and costumes!
5. Pumpkin carving or painting
Keep it classic and host a pumpkin carving sesh with your housemates. Carving a pumpkin well is a big flex, but if you wanna keep it simple or avoid (some of) the mess, you can always paint them instead!

6. Host a gathering
If you’re bored of the Halloween-themed nights out on offer, why don’t you stay in and host a gathering instead? Choose an outfit that channels main character energy and create a playlist that passes the vibe check.
7. Do some Halloween-themed baking
Get your bake on and create some treats for everyone to enjoy! If you’re not fully in your baking era, grab a baking kit from Hobbycraft to make it easier.
8. Do a spooky photoshoot with your mates
If the whole group chat has made an effort to dress up, you’ve got to take pics or it didn’t happen! Do it for the plot and find a spooky-looking spot to take some pics—you won’t regret it.
