Halloween is almost here, and it’s time to plan your Fear Fest (if 2020 hasn’t been hair-raising enough already). Let your star sign guide you towards the most spooktacular way to celebrate Halloween 2020, and make it a night to remember.
Aries: Horror Mazes
To many people, the thought of being chased in near-darkness by slobbering, bloodthirsty zombies (or vampires, or clowns, or whatever they’ve got in there) is not a ~good night out~. To you, Aries, however, this is FUN. You love to get your blood pumping, to feel like you’re IN something, and to get to run and around burn off all that fiery energy. If you’re looking for a maze, Thorpe Park will be hosting their annual Fright Night as usual from 9th–11th October and 16th October–1st November, while there’s also a contactless drive-thru maze opening in Wrexham.
Taurus: Dinner party from hell
Food is never far from your agenda, and Halloween provides ample sweet treats and twists on classic dishes for you. Get your ~fab five~ over, in fancy dress if you’re looking for the photo opp, and scoff. Perhaps one course is a trick (hidden chillies?) and another is a treat (boozy sauce?). You decide. Light the candles and be the ghost host with the most!
Gemini: Parlour games
In the Victorian era, Halloween was seen as an excuse to have a party and play games that would predict your future love (they believed fortune telling was ideal around Halloween, because the ~veil~ between this world and the next was at its thinnest). Apple bobbing, walnut boats, mirror gazing. Look up ‘Victorian Halloween parlour games’ and knock yourself out. You have a strong ~inner child~ and you love to play.
Cancer: Psychic night
You are ruled by the Moon, and drawn to all things esoteric. The idea of visiting a psychic or even holding your own little psychic night sounds perf. Get out the oracle cards, download a guided meditation or even past life regression, charge up your crystals, and look into some simple spells. Bond with your besties over the cauldron!
Leo: Fancy dress party
Party? CHECK. Dressing up? CHECK. Even, dare I say, VAMPING it up? CHECK. In the US, anything goes, costume-wise, for Halloween, and the sexier the better. This your kind of festival, in fact you wish EVERY Saturday night could be like Halloween, although you don’t really need an excuse to glam it up and run around being wild. Head here for a pick of the very best Halloween costumes.
Virgo: True crime binge
Spooks and things that go bump in the night don’t really scare you… unless they’re IRL. Settle down, with popcorn, drinks, and a notepad, to binge on unsolved true crime cases on whatever channel or platform you’re into. Maybe there’s even a ~cold case~ in your local area you could look up? Virgos are all secret Miss Marples. Your desire to solve the case outweighs your fear!
Libra: Wreath making
It’s all about the aesthetics, darling. You have a natural eye for beauty and elegance, and you love making things. Creating a stylish, enviable Halloween wreath for your front door will make you feel like Morticia Addams, the gothic domestic goddess. And you love her ~lewk~ too. Very slinky.
Scorpio: Ghost hunting
You are attracted to what lies beneath, the unseen, the mysteries of the world. Looking for ghosts in eerie places has got your star sign written all over it. Even better, someplace murderous or with a tragic history. You love a good horror story, in fact you’re even OK with starring in your own. Happy hunting!
Sagittarius: Pumpkin picking
The great outdoors is where you feel most at home, kicking through the leaves, enjoying the crisp air, and having acres of space to run around in. Picking pumpkins has become a bit of an October national pastime, and you’re happy to indulge. You also like carving and crafting them into spooky greeters for your front step, the more outrageous the better.
Capricorn: Halloween countdown calendar
Sometimes you enjoy the anticipation and preparation for big events more than the actual ~thing~ itself, such is your enjoyment of organising. Getting a Halloween Countdown Calendar like this one will help you savour the whole Halloween season, and keep you on track with your macabre preparations. It’s all about the antici… -pation!
Aquarius: Horror movie marathon
You like spending time with yours truly, and enjoy setting aside special ~me time~ activities. A whole evening, getting cosy and comfortable, watching your fave horrors sounds like the perfect way to spend an autumn evening. You can snack, snooze, squeal and shiver on your own clock, to your own beat. You’re a natural night owl, so staying up super late is no probs.
Pisces: Holding a seance
Of all of the star signs, you are the naturally most gifted with psychic ability. Put yourself to the test by holding your own séance (you will need a quiet room, candles, and simply your own intuition), or visit a professional and tap into their channel of communication with the ~other side~. You love this kind of thing!
