This year, Halloween will be a little different. Parties and trick or treating will be limited but that doesn’t mean that the spooky fun must stop! We’ve decided to spread some positivity by highlighting our favourite things about this holiday.

Top 3 movies to watch around Halloween
The Conjuring
Not a single film but I LOVE ‘The Conjuring’ series. I’ll watch these at any time throughout the year but if I’m after something spooky for a Halloween binge, this is my go-to.
The Nightmare before Christmas
Tim Burton films are the best films to watch around Halloween but my favourite has to be The Nightmare before Christmas which, although is debatable, IS a Halloween film.
Hocus Pocus
It needs no explanation. What is Halloween without this iconic film?! I’m just as excited for the remake too!
Honourable mention – Scream
The Scream films are a perfect mixture between witty comedy and slasher. An ideal crowd pleaser for Halloween.
Favourite Halloween campaign
M&Ms: Millie and Max Interactive Ghost Story
From now back to my student days, I’ve always been fascinated with campaigns which incorporate gamification techniques and multiple platforms. Millie and Max’s Interactive Story is a prime example of how well a campaign can run when the audience becomes invested and engaged in it. A creative storyline, on-brand graphics and content that can be gamified is always a winner in my eyes.
2 Favourite Halloween costumes
Toddlers dressing up as old people
Let’s face it, it’s the cutest thing ever and I can’t wait to do it.

Pirate
A classic that can be done in many ways – I’m also a sucker for a boujee pirate hat.
Tell us about a Halloween memory
This may be a strange one to pick out of the many good memories I have but years ago I had decided that I wasn’t going to go trick or treating until the very last minute. I was without a costume, so my mum cut two eye holes and two arm holes into a bed sheet and off I went with my sister and a family friend.
Of course, when you go trick or treating, what are the odds someone will actually say TRICK. Well, ladies and gentlefolks, this night, that happened! A man had said trick and my top-class comedic self, put my arms inside the sheet and shouted, ‘I HAVE NO ARMS’.
While I look back on it now and wonder why we didn’t have the door slammed in our faces at my pathetic attempt at a trick, the man actually laughed and gave us extra sweets in our pumpkin buckets.

Tell us about a Halloween memory
Getting tricked by a home owner when out trick or treating, He answered the door with a full face latex mask and costume screaming at our group of about 10 8 year olds and my friend was so scared he peed himself and fell down the steps trying to run away.
