I like Halloween. And I did a quick search and there doesnt seem to be much about MSE Halloween in the forums, so thought I would start one. So if you like Halloween, or have any MSE tips about Halloween, then please feel free to contribute.

So, It may seem a bit early for Halloween (though how many threads about Chrimbo?!) But, with any seasonal celebration, the sooner you start, the more money you can save. And now is a great time to get bargains before the prices go up, and also order cheap things that get delivered from overseas. My first tip is to get.on ebay and order yourself a polystyrene wig head or to. They are easy enough to find for under £2 delivered and can be used simply to put a mask on as a scary head, to making ghost head mould or for sculpting and painting to make all manner of creepy heads.

I've been pinning away on Pinterest got loads of good ideas from "mavis" from Hotel Transylvania if you're on there. I won't go too OTT as I only have a 2year old but can't wait to start trimming up

i LOVE Halloween!! I understand that it's less of a deal in the UK/Europe than here in the states which would make me very sad indeed.

This year, however, we are decluttering our home to sell so there will be very little Halloween. Sad.

Pinterest is my best friend for halloween...so many DIY projects and great ideas on there.

Yes, loads of gorgeous Halloween stuff in TK Maxx!
They also had lots of autumnal decorations, like big autumn leaf wreaths and gorgeous orange glass pumpkin table centrepieces.
I'm always quite envious when Americans decorate for Thanksgiving, and am quite tempted to get some.
