First attempt at taking Halloween seriously!

When I moved in with some of my greatest friends at our house in Norwich I decided to try and do a proper Halloween for them.

Looking back now it was no where near that but I think I still did more than most people in the UK did for Halloween at that time (2013).

This guy was purchased from M&S and has become a staple of many Halloweens of mine going forward as he is just SOOOOO GROSS!! You put sweets in through his mouth and when you want to take one you basically have to shove your whole hand down his throat to get them. Looks super wrong when doing it but I love it.

This was a cardboard chandelier style decoration which I decorated with webbing. I thought it looks amazing and spooky but looking at it now...it looks pants!

These were a horror show, and not on purpose. They were pumpkin flavored muffins. I cooked them in a silicone tray that where the shapes were pumpkin shaped and I decided to add black food coloring to the eye, nose and mouth recesses; this was NOT good. They look absolutely awful; like bad mascara. Didn't ever do that again. Also the muffins were disgusting!

This I bought that year too from John Lewis. It was more money that I would have usually spent on Halloween at that point but I knew if i didn't get it then then I would regret it. Its become another staple Halloween decoration since then. I love the shadows it creates on the wall. Spooky!
