Decorate your home to be scary
When it gets dark outside and the ghosts are up to mischief, it's time to transform your four walls into a real horror chamber. Let your creativity run wild and create an eerie atmosphere that is guaranteed to scare and frighten your guests.
Carving pumpkins
The classic Halloween decoration is, of course, the carved pumpkin. Get a few pumpkins, let your imagination run wild and create scary faces or other spooky motifs. Then place the pumpkin lanterns on the front door or in the garden to welcome your visitors.
Hanging spider webs
Spiders are as much a part of Halloween as pumpkins. Turn your home into a real spider nest by hanging spider webs everywhere. You can make them yourself or buy ready-made decorative webs. Place a few plastic spiders in between and it will look like something out of a scary horror film.
Candles and fairy lights
Candles and fairy lights in the shape of pumpkins, bats or with scary motifs create an eerie atmosphere. Place them in the right places, for example on the dining table, on shelves or on the stairs, and let their flickering light take you to another world.
Scary characters
Of course, witches, vampires, zombies and other scary creatures are a must. Place plastic figures, skeletons or inflatable monsters in strategically important places to give your guests a real fright.
Delicious recipes for your Halloween party
In addition to the spooky decorations, you also need the right food and drink to make your guests feel really comfortable. We have a few spooky and delicious recipes for you that are guaranteed to get any witch's cauldron bubbling.
Monster muffins
Cute monster-shaped muffins are the perfect snack for your Halloween party. Simply bake your favorite muffins and decorate them with icing, Smarties and other colorful candies to create scary faces.
Bloody punch
Of course, a blood-red punch is a must. Mix red wine, orange juice, lemon juice and a little sugar. For a spooky effect, you can add red food coloring and floating ice cubes in the shape of leeches.
Pumpkin hummus
If you prefer something savory, our pumpkin hummus is just the thing. Puree cooked pumpkin, chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice and spices to make a delicious dip. Serve with vegetable sticks, crackers or bread.
Ghost Cupcakes

Scary costumes for your Halloween party
Of course, you can't miss out on your Halloween party yourself. So get yourself a scary costume and transform yourself into a terrifying witch, a bloodthirsty vampire or an undead zombie.
Witch costume
As a witch, you are of course perfectly equipped for Halloween. Put on a black dress, tights and boots. Of course, this also includes a pointed hat and a broom. For the finishing touch, put on make-up with a green face and a long nose.
Vampire costume
If you prefer to be a bloodthirsty vampire, put on a tight red shirt, black pants and a long cape. Apply pale makeup to your face and draw sharp canines. Don't forget the bloodstain at the corner of your mouth!
Zombie costume
For a scary zombie look you need ragged, dirty clothes and lots of makeup. Wear an old, torn t-shirt and pants that look like you haven't washed them in ages. Make your face pale and paint bloody wounds and dark circles under your eyes.
Whether you're a witch, vampire or zombie - the main thing is that your costume is as scary as possible! Let your creativity run wild and scare your guests with your terrifying outfit.
So what are you waiting for? Get your pumpkins, bake delicious monster muffins and choose a scary costume. With our ideas, your Halloween party is guaranteed to be a success!
