The dos and don’ts of Halloween
Year on year, Halloween is becoming increasingly popular in the UK. With more horror film festivals, pumpkins and this week’s Time Out Magazine (out today) bursting with scary events, we’ve definitely gotten into the spirit of things. If you’re new to the spooky festivities and scared that you’re going to get it wrong, or just a seasoned pro looking for something new, we’re here to help you get Halloween right this year:
DO: Carve a pumpkin with a bullet going through its head
DON’T: Carve a pumpkin using bullets
DO: Dress your kids in adorable, age appropriate costumes
DON’T: Dress your kids in completely inappropriate costumes
No matter how awesome it may be:
Especially if it will give you nightmares
DO: Take kids trick or treating
DON’T: Go trick or treating if you’re over 12, that’s just weird
DO: Decorate your house with quaint pumpkins
DON’T: Cover your house in fake spiders – you will lose some and get freaked out later in the year
DO: Make eyeball cakepops
Scary ribs
And Hotdog Mummies
DON’T: Serve actual eyeballs, brains or cockroaches
DO: Serve vodka shots with red food colouring
Or bottles of “Tru Blood”
DON’T: Serve shots of pigs’ blood.
DO: Dress like the Pixar Lamp
DON’T: Dress like a Hipster – no one will notice you’re in costume
DO: Make a DIY costume
DON’T: Just pick one off the shelf
Or, you know, dress like a slut with just a pair of ears and little else
Because you don’t have to be naked on Halloween
DO: Dress like Kate Middleton with her nips out if you’re a boy
DON’T: Under any circumstance think about dressing like Jimmy Saville
DO: Be different and original
DON’T: Be lazy and predictable by dressing like Psy
No, seriously, don’t dress like Psy
Or any of his sidekicks
DO: Get a black light for your party
And dress to impress
DON’T: Get your teeth whitened before attending a black light party – though it would make a pretty good Ross costume
And back to costumes…
DO: Dress like The Doctor and an angel
DON’T: Dress like Amy and The Doctor – because that isn’t a thing anymore
DO: Include your baby bump in your costume
DON’T: Pretend you’re pregnant if you’re a man
DO: Dress like a zombie
DON’T: on second thoughts, dress like a zombie
And if you’re looking for a quiet night in
DO: Watch these classic films
‘Hocus Pocus’
‘Beetlejuice’
‘Coraline’
DON’T: Watch these gifs on your own late at night
