It happens from time to time, but Halloween has fallen on a funny day this year – a Thursday. With fireworks galore this weekend ahead of Bonfire Night, many organizers decided to get in early for their Halloween parties, as pub and club nights were announced for Saturday 26 October – but there are still celebrations to come, which as well as the so important trick.
As this week draws to a close, we’re only two days away from Halloween and the spooktacular happenings on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. If you still haven’t got your outfit sorted, fear not.
We’ve taken a look at some of the best costumes and accessories on Amazon and other retailers, which you can order right away. Thanks to Amazon Prime, there’s a good chance they’ll arrive by the big day (depending on where you live and when you order).
Witch Hat and Black Veil – £6.95 on Amazon
Bristol Novelty Voodoo Cap – £6.39 at Amazon
The Bristol Novelty Voodoo Cap is an ideal party piece for those who might not want to go through the hassle of dressing up, or it can help pull off (get it?) a killer outfit. It’s a slightly cool hat with its snakeskin brim, bones, skull and peacock feather. Available on Amazon for £6.39, order today to get yours tomorrow. Pair it with a suit and you’re a crazy inventor.
CreepyParty Pumpkin Mask – £13.99 at Amazon
Now there’s a certain type of guy – a wannabe Batman villain perhaps, who loves to wear the CreepyParty Pumpkin Mask. It doesn’t really require any further effort, he’s blinded for most of the party and can barely eat or drink, let alone socialize. But the two minutes of people guessing who’s behind the mask makes it totally worth it and, to be fair, it looks pretty cool and slips on and off easily. It is also a good prop on the table. Available on Amazon for £13.99 and eBay for £19.99.
Spooktacular 4pc Day of the Dead Costume – £18.99 at Amazon
This four-piece Day Of The Dead costume comes from Spooktacular Creations and can be worn by anyone for an instant dose of Halloween fun, or it can be part of an assembly for a much larger outfit. I would probably dress up as a matador or find a nice poncho to pull over my shoulders. But it will look just as good with a T-shirt and jeans. Available on Amazon for £18.99.
Tulle petticoat and fascinator for women – £22.99 at Amazon
Another quaint, witchy outfit this Halloween, this red tulle petticoat and fascinator for women from Golden Apple will add some ruby flair to your party this Halloween, looking both beautiful and bloody scary at the same time. The tulle skirt looks great with tights or can equally be worn over trousers or leggings to keep warm in October, while the quirky fascinator can be upright or angled. It can be bought on Amazon for £22.99.
Halloween Skeleton Hands Choker – £9 at ASOS
