Can you not wait for the scariest night of the year? Are you wanting to get into the Halloween spirit early? If so, here's the perfect article for inspiration and frightful ideas!
Here are nine suggestions to start you off:
Watch a scary movie.
Tell spooky stories with your friends. (This would best be done at night, maybe during a sleepover!)
Decorate the house with spooky themed items, like mini pumpkins and ghost decorations.
Bake cookies and use icing to decorate them with spooky ghosts or mummies!
Watch some unsolved mystery stories on Netflix - my favourite is The Incident at Dyatlov Pass!
Look for a Halloween outfit to go trick or treating. The best ones in my opinion are Harley Quinn, Wednesday Adamms and Maleficent
Visit Haunted attractions and do some spooky activities whilst you're there!
Read some horror stories or watch videos! You can get these from the Knowledge Cafe or YouTube.
Get dressed in your Halloween costume and scare people in your house!

Here are the Top 10 spooky books to read in the library:
1. ‘Wranglestone’ by Darren Charlton. This book is about a boy who never felt at home in a place where practicality and grit are valued above all else.
2. ‘Last One to Die’ by Cynthia Murphy. Young women are being attacked across the city and 16-year-old Niamh quickly discovers they all look scary similar to her. Will she be next?
3. ‘Remade’ by Alex Scarrow. This is about a virus that can think, a teen boy who was never cut out to be a hero and a promise to a dying mother to protect a younger sister - no matter what.
4. ‘The Hunting Ground’ by Cliff McNish. When Eliott and his brother Ben move into the old crumbling Glebe House they don't expect to share it with ghosts!
5. ‘The Dead’ by Charlie Higson is about two boys trying to escape a zombie attack.
6. ‘Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children’ by Ransom Riggs. A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. And a strange collection of very curious photographs. It all waits to be discovered in this book.
7. ‘Say Her Name’ by Juno Dawson. Roberta 'Bobbie' Rowe is not the kind of person who believes in ghosts. A Halloween dare to summon ‘Bloody Mary’ is not something to scare her. Especially when nothing happens. Or does it?
8. ‘Frozen Charlotte: A ghost’ story by Alex Bell. Sophie comes face to face with the mysterious death of her young cousin and the legend of the schoolhouse with its creepy Frozen Charlotte dolls.
9. ‘Shiver’ by Maggie Stiefvater is the first book in The Wolves of Mercy Falls series. Grace can’t seem to live without her yellow-eyed wolf so when she meets Sam, a strikingly familiar, yellow-eyed boy, it takes her breath away. He is her wolf. But as winter approaches they risk losing each other…
10. ‘The House of The Spirits’ by Isabel Allende. The House of the Spirits is an enthralling saga that spans decades and lives,combining the personal and the political into an epic novel of love, magic and fate.
