As Halloween is eerily edging closer, I am here to show you how to have the ultimate Halloween night! Start with snacks, baked or bought, sweet or savoury, you need something to fuel the spooky spirit. These goodies can range from eyeball cake pops to candy apples or pumpkin soup. Many more and recipes can be found here: Halloween treats
To decorate your household, you can carve a pumpkin, big or small, and light it using an LED candle. In fact, Herts and Essex is carrying out their very own pumpkin carving competition for sixth formers, send a photo to [email protected] of you with your carved pumpkin and the winner will receive house points and a ‘skip the queue’ pass for cucina around the school. Deadline for entries is Tuesday 5 November!
Some age appropriate horror movies for lower school are: Corpse Bride, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Ghostbusters, Goosebumps and Monster House. These are classic films loved by all families.
You could get themed blankets and even match them with your friends. Have a group sleepover with some spooky blankets covered in spiders, bats and witches.
Statistically, the top 3 most purchased sweet treats at Halloween are ‘Reese’s Take 5’ filled with pretzels, peanut butter and caramel, ‘Twix’ which everyone knows and loves, and number 1 is ‘Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups’ grossing nearly £2.5 billion in earnings annually.
Escape rooms involve mental challenges mixed with a rush of adrenaline which makes them more enjoyable. Your group will work together against the clock to find clues and solve riddles and puzzles in order to escape. Escape rooms near to Bishops Stortford are: The Panic Rooms (Harlow) and Bishops Stortford Escape Rooms.
Some more expensive ideas for Halloween are throwing a masquerade ball where guests attend wearing formal clothes and masks. Masquerade ball originated in the 15th century as they were a feature of Carnival Season. Masquerade balls create a type of see to see if they can figure out each others identities as everyone is anonymous and in a disguise.
Thorpe Park hosts Fright Nights every October and this is recommended for anyone over the age of 13, this year it is being held 17th October to 3rd November with tickets priced upwards of £36 per person or £71 if you wish to have access to all of the scare mazes, with this you gain access to the park from 10am until 9pm. Previously, the theme park in Chertsey has won a multitude of awards including Best Theme Park for Thrills at the UK Theme Park Awards for the previous four consecutive years and Frights Nights has won multiple awards at the infamous scareCON SCAR Awards and most recently claimed the highly anticipated gold award for the Best Theme Park Event in Europe! There are many different Fright Nights packages including VIP with all sorts of different perks.
I’m sure that you’ll know about this one, Jack the Ripper. You’ll learn about him in school at one point or another. If you wish to investigate into the crimes of Whitechapel you can go on the Jack the Ripper Walking Tour for only £15 per person. This attraction has been open since 1982 and you do the tour with expert guides on the history of the East End. This year, the tour won Trip Advisor's Travellers' Choice Awards: Best of the Best with stunning reviews.
Have a happy halloween!
