It’s officially spooky season, so get Hocus Pocus on the telly, wrap your front door in crime scene tape and stock up on snacks for your Trick-Or-Treat visitors at once.
If you want to dive head-first into horror mayhem, there’s a plethora of fantastic modern scary movies that will have you hiding behind the sofa and calling your Mum.
We highly recommend Swedish horror The Conference although it’ll mean you probably won’t look at your colleagues the same way again. Or The Deliverance – but maybe not if your house has a basement…
If your sensibilities lie on the softer side, why not try watching the classic series X-Files from the beginning on Disney +? We must confess that some of the episodes have had us shrieking, but luckily David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson looking cute as heck in ’90s fits more than makes up for it.
But no matter where on the spooky spectrum you prefer your Halloween to sit, we’re fully invested in the decor options that can turn your flat from dull to dynamic. Why not spark up your imagination and bring a touch of horrifying spectacle to the dining room table this year?
We have big plans to throw a Beetlejuice themed dinner party to delight our friends and family (although ideally demonic possession for guests should be swerved if possible).
We’ve been trawling for the best Halloween tablescape inspiration out there… it might be love at first bite…

Proving that you don’t have to go over the top, and just a few spooky touches (don’t forget your wax candles) and some dries flowers (very Miss Havisham) go a long way.
