How much would you spend on Halloween decorations

[Needspace21]

I've spent about £50 quid on some posh fabric pumpkins and other assorted stuff.

Make. Me. Feel. Better. What have you spent?

Catholics don't celebrate evil

@KurtWildeWitchOfTheWoods

I don't get the catholic comment. Halloween isn't a religious festival.

It is all Hallows Eve. A religious festival

£0
I do not celebrate Halloween

I celebrate evil but I don't put up Hallowe'en decs.

@XpressoMartini

£0. I bought a pumpkin last week but it was to make a soup. We're catholic so we don't celebrate Halloween.

I'm Catholic I celebrate Halloween 👻

My mum was Holy Mary she dressed us up every year for Halloween. Maybe she was glad to get rid of the 6 of us for a couple of hours.😂😂

I'm pagan. I love Halloween. My neighbours are Muslim. They love Halloween. I have catholic family who love Halloween. I guess it depends how you view it.

My mum was Catholic (as were we children)

We did games like apple bobbing, eating a donut off a string and peanut races that sort of thing

We still do those games now

But we’ve added other silly games

£0 here too. Can’t imagine however wanting to celebrate Halloween.

£0. But I am contemplating a new Christmas tree!

Over the years - a sodding fortune 😂
In our defence we have a big Halloween party every year (we've had some stonking costumes)
We also like to make our own stuff too.
This year we made these for the front lawn and I have a video of our life size flying ghost but cant figure out how to link to it
We love it.

Screenshot of the ghost. We made a rig so she floats up and down and her arms move.

£2 on a pumpkin from Asda.
I think it’s what you were brought up with yourself a lot of the time. We didn’t ‘do’ Halloween as kids, so I don’t really know what to do with my own now. There’s not many kids in the nearby houses so I don’t want to take DS trick or treating. We’ll have a go at carving the pumpkin, but I don’t know how to ‘do’ Halloween.

This year about £40 but a couple of years ago i had a huge Halloween spending spree of over £200 (just after Halloween so everything was half price or less). Me and my children absolutely love Halloween (nearly as much as Christmas!) and i like the house and gardens to be decorated. Some people may think it's ott but we love it and that's all that matters, each to their own. I think if you can afford to spend it then that's all that matters, just don't live beyond your means.

@britespark1 I love them all 🎃👻🎃👻

Oh @MistyGreenAndBlue I love it.
Can I come to your party? 🧙‍♀️🥂😈

@ParkheadParadise

Oh *@MistyGreenAndBlue* I love it. Can I come to your party? 🧙‍♀️🥂😈

Only if you dress up. No costume no entry

@MistyGreenAndBlue those are bloody brilliant!!

Thank you you should have seen Disco Drac
He was epic

If I had the energy/artistic talent I'd go nuts!
Unfortunately I don't and can't be arsed... so just a pumpkin to let people know to come and knock.

@britespark1 that’s the cutest little display ever! I’m envious of your talent with a hook (supposed to be learning this year but I’m putting it off...).

Sadly OP I can’t help to make you feel better - I don’t do Halloween. When my girls were little I did spend maybe £20 on some decorations over a couple of years which I then kept and reused until they were older, mainly to decorate the front of the house so the neighbourhood children knew to come trick or treating. But that stopped years ago now.

I’ve bought some squashes for eating...and a bay essential oil for the living room, and I’ve put out the ceramic candle holders, but that’s really to mark the change of season into autumn/winter and to bring hygge to the darker evenings.

@MistyGreenAndBlue Very impressive!

nothing
we don't do Halloween

Probably got £100 worth of shit in the loft, only things ever bought on sale in the Range on the day of Halloween!
We used to hold quite epic Halloween parties at the dcs request, I always hated it (and still
Do), it’s just another ‘thing’ and then our youngest came along with a birthday shortly after Halloween so I used that as an excuse to quietly ditch the Halloween parties, I think maybe we’ve done 2 since he’s been born (he’s about to turn 10), the decorations are going to a friend this week as she’s holding a party and I said I had some stuff she could use. It’s literally one day.
We bought some pumpkins from our local farm this week, dc are going to carve them this weekend (yet more work!) and I will try and get the dds to take the little out trick or treating while I throw sweets at anyone who knocks.
I don’t see it as anything to get excited about! It’s definitely just a chore to me.

Some pumpkins and battery operated tea lights.
