1. Carve a pumpkin
Not only are pumpkins reasonably cheap, they are also a hilarious way to get creative; whether you’re seriously arty or it turns into a pile of orange mush, pumpkin carving is a great Autumnal night in. Stick on some tunes and crack open the wine too!

2. Watch a scary movie
Don’t be a scardy cat – horror movies are a great way to get your flat together and huddle under a blanket with some popcorn. There’s something for everyone, from the comic Sean of the Dead to the dark Pan’s Labrynth (pictured) or the disturbing but brilliant Babadook.

3. Halloween baking
A quick Google will lead you to loads of yummy Halloween recipes. For example, pumpkin pie, cupcakes, or Tanya Burr’s pumpkin cake pops!
4. Visit a haunted location
Bristol has numerous spots rumoured to be haunted by ghosts. These include the Odeon cinema on Union Street (where someone was shot in 1946, pictured), Arnos Vale Cemetry and even the Suspension Bridge (!), where pedestrians have reportedly seen the spirit of the bridge’s designer, Brunel.
