Try out a Dracula-inspired look this Halloween
‘What do I wear?’ For most of us, that’s the very first question that comes to mind before a Halloween party. While the options are many, a last-minute easy option is to dress up as a vampire! All you need is a basic white or black shirt with a bow and a cape. You can accentuate your look with fake nails, dentures and earcuffs, and some make-up to add a spooky touch to your look. For a more effortless look, you can just slip into a skeleton costume and pair it up with a mask.

Set up the Halloween mood at home, customised for kids or adults with some themed decor
If you are the host, it’s on you to set the Halloween mood at home. Props and party decor aside, the correct low lighting and eerie background music adds to the charm. Of course, you will need something that spooks your guests. A skeleton hanging here, a spooky ghost there, or a statement centrepiece on your table — there are options galore to set up the spooks. You can go light on the scare factor if you have kids involved, and make it a cute Halloween themed party with jack-o-lanterns and creepy crawlies. Don’t forget to have a photo booth or Instagram corner with party props.
