Even if Halloween is a holiday not widely celebrated in your neck of the woods - why not get into the spirit and host your own Halloween party? If where you're at does Halloween, then make the most of this occasion and get into the spirit with ghoulish dress ups & some scary fun with your friends. Why not...

Have a go at carving a pumpkin! But don't waste the scooped out insides - dice the pumpkin up and make up some parcels of pumpkin and caramelised onion wrapped in puff pastry - glaze with milk and pop in the oven until golden & you've got yourself a snazzy Halloween party snack. Alternatively, a batch of pumpkin soup will warm you and your guests rather nicely.

Get your mates together & dress up... whether you are heading out to a Halloween party or staying in to watch scary movies, do it in style. Got no one to dress up with? Go it alone & make a photo shoot of it. Set your camera to self timer and capture your outfit in all it’s glory - then come & share it with us here online!

Have a horror movie marathon, invite around all your friends and try not to scare each other too much.

Here is one for the brave: Slick on a coat of black lipstick rather than your usual au natural look... gloss it up & off you go!

Don't fancy dress ups? Opt for decking yourself out in the traditional Halloween colours: black & orange. Theme it up for the day.

Have a girls night in, if its not too cold, pitch a tent and camp out in the backyard... gather around a campfire (or make do with a group huddle around a torch!) and trade ghost stories and urban 'myths' (or are they?!). If it's a bit too chilly to sleep out, do an old fashioned sleepover party - all the girls, doonas & pillows out on the lounge room floor, go on, you're never too old for a sleepover!

Are you celebrating Halloween? What will you be dressing up as?
