I love Halloween! This is partly because my birthday is October 27th but that’s not the only reason. Everything about dressing in costumes, getting free candy, and scary movies suits who I am at my core.

It’s no surprise that I take that same stance with the food. A friend once threw me a birthday party and my cake had tombstones on it with my name and current year as the date of death on it. I loved it!

That’s not something other people would appreciate. Can you imagine celebrating your mom’s birthday in June with a graveyard cake? I doubt it. It works for October, though.

Mummies, bones, and monsters are all fair game in the food department this season. You’ll find all of those and more in the spooky fun Halloween party food ideas below.

I absolutely love horror films. Like, can’t get enough of them kind of love them. The awesome thing about this time of year is that everyone is in the mood for horror movies too.

Luckily, I’m always ready with a recommendation. Even better, I’ve seen almost every horror film on Netflix. (Thank goodness they’re adding more so I have a fresh new supply for the holiday.)

If you’re looking for an awesome horror movie to watch on Netflix you don’t have to wade through the bad ones. I’ll give you the goods on the best ones so you can simply watch and enjoy.

The Diabolical

This movie follows a tough as nails mom trying to raise her 2 kids on her own. It certainly doesn’t make matters any easier that they’re being haunted by something they can’t explain.

Death Note

If you haven’t watched Death Note you are missing out! This movie is action-packed and clever as it follows a teenage boy who gets his hands on a book that can kill people… and meets the demon who comes with it.

Before I Wake

This one is both scary and heartfelt. After the loss of their son, 2 parents take in a foster child with a strange ability. Even better, this one is PG-13 so it’s one you can watch with older children.

The Boy

I originally rented this one after it came out despite poor reviews and I’m so glad I did. In it, a nanny is hired to watch a child only to find out that it is a doll the parents pretend is their son. The twists and turns will make you wonder if the parents are crazy or the nanny is.

The House at the End Of Time

This is a Spanish movie with subtitles, which I know some people don’t like, but it is brilliant. A dying woman gets to spend her last days on house arrest in her family home instead of prison. Of course, in this case prison might be safer. It is a must-watch for a scary good movie night.

Extinction

Yet another brilliant Netflix original, this movie follow a man who is plagued by nightmares of an alien invasion. Unfortunately, soon he must face those fears head on with his wife and two daughters. If your kids can handle violence, this one is family friendly too, in my opinion. (Of course, always vet movies yourself to make sure they meet your family-friendly standards.)

The Signal

This movie was surprisingly good. The description tells you that it is about college friends on a road trip who run into major trouble in the dessert. What it doesn’t tell you is that they are overly-proud hackers chasing someone who out-hacked them. It definitely gets high marks on the creep factor scale. It is also PG-13 if you’re looking for a horror film for the family.

OtherLife

The ultimate example of when technology goes wrong, this movie follows a young woman fighting with her partner about how to use the new drug they invented… a drug that induces a time-compressed virtual reality. It combines trippy with terrifying ego in one place.

Rebirth

This one is definitely not a family-friendly movie but it is the perfect film for after the kids go to bed. A guy gets his friend to go to a rebirth retreat that is full of activities from the sickest minds. It is so crazy you can’t help but keep watching.

Would You Rather

If you’re looking for a gory, cringe-worthy horror film then this is definitely the one for you. A girl in desperate need of money agrees to take part in a game only she doesn’t realize exactly what she has agreed to until it’s too late.

It is time to get in the Halloween spirit. These 10 awesome horror movies to watch on Netflix are the perfect pick for your next movie night or to binge on with friends over a long weekend. Now I’d love to hear what your favorite horror film is! I’m always down for more recommendations!

Awesome Halloween decor doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Create your own amazing decor on a budget by using what you already have. That’s exactly what this easy upcycled tissue box spooky Halloween candy container delivers!

[bctt tweet=”Are you looking for awesome Halloween decor ideas on a budget? Turn an empty tissue box into this awesomely spooky Halloween candy container!” username=”diyadulation”]

I have been so excited to make this easy project that I’ve been holding onto this empty tissue box for weeks. I can’t count the number of times someone in my house asked me if it could be tossed out.

Of course, it was a little early at the time to start crafting for Halloween but September is the official green light in my mind. Now I can start pulling out the Halloween fun!

It’s time for you to start thinking about your own Halloween decorations, too. Start saving those tissue boxes so you can make your own spooky Halloween candy container.

Materials

Empty Tissue Box
Rescue Restore Paint in Southern Gentleman
1.5 inch Paint Brush
Halloween Stickers
E6000
Black Creepy Cloth
Scissors

Step 1

First, remove the plastic from around the inside of the tissue box opening.

Step 2

Next, paint your entire box with your rescue restore paint. Allow it to dry before moving on.

Note:

If you’re still on the fence about adding Rescue Restore paints to your crafting arsenal, check out the difference between one coat of black acrylic paint and one coat of Rescue Restore paint.
Not only does it take a ton more coats but you will have to seal it on projects like this one. The Rescue Restore paint takes less coats, is less work, and saves you tons of time! Seriously, grab some now and give it a try. It’s awesome!

Step 3

After you paint has dried, add your stickers to your box. Only work with one side at a time and focus on designing that one before moving to the next.

Tip:

Don’t be afraid to fold some of the stickers around the edges. It doesn’t detract from the design. Promise.

Step 4

Now, remove the packaging from your black creepy cloth and unfold it.

Step 5

Then add E6000 to the top corners of your tissue box and around the opening.

Step 6

Next, press a corner of your black creepy cloth into the glue. Don’t worry about covering your tissue box opening.

Step 7

Carefully cut around the edges of the box to remove the glued section of your black creepy cloth from the rest of it.

Step 8

Again working carefully, cut out the black creepy cloth covering the hole in the top of your tissue box.

Tip:

Some of the fabric strands fell into the tissue box while I cut around the box opening. If this happens to you, simply wrap some tape around your finger, sticky-side out, and press it around the inside of your tissue box.

Step 9

Next fix any areas of the black creepy cloth that pulled away from the glue.

Step 10

Lastly, allow your glue to dry 24 hours then fill with your favorite Halloween candy!

Would you ever guess that this gorgeous spooky Halloween candy container used to hold tissues?! It is seriously easy to make although you might want to have a backup stash of candy to refill it. I must deprive my family because they are already flying through it (minus a few Kit Kats I nabbed). Luckily, even empty it’s still an awesome piece of Halloween decor for the table!
