Read on for what’s hot for Halloween this year
Halloween is everywhere! Supermarkets, schools, shops and neighbourhood streets. It’s not just the Halloween costumes that spur celebrations of this historically Pagan tradition en masse each year.
Creativity and flair go into food, drinks and ingenious displays before trick or treaters arrive at the door. Plus, it’s the chance to evidence all of your costume and event fun on Instagram #happyhalloween2018.
The dark side and spook factor are always part of the celebrations. As Halloween evolves though, we see the ridiculous and cheesy to the chic and bespoke, along with satirical and culturally relevant.
From abode embellishments to Halloween costume trends in 2018, what’s in style?
Home decorating Halloween trends
Some of the cheapest and best places to source novelties, decorations, props, gag gifts, confectionary and party supplies are shops like Target, your local discount stores and online party supplies. Blossom Costumes have a range of accessories

No carve pumpkins are all the rage.
- Improvise with jars, orange food colouring and a Sharpie.
- Look to ornate pumpkin pieces that can be made using a Halloween themed image template and a Sharpie (or acrylic paint).
- Jack-o-lanterns, as in, literally
- Gold, silver and glittery painted pumpkins give a decadent gothic feel.
- As do black and white painted pumpkins.
- The series Stranger Things will also be a pumpkin influencer this year.
You can make a great
Stranger Things decoration by painting the alphabet on an old bedsheet and adding some Christmas lights.
Succulents in skull planters are also big in 2018. Skulls in all sorts of wares are easy to come by most of the year round thanks to the Rock-a-Billy style that never goes out of fashion, and
Day of the Dead.
