Halloween is just around the corner and as any Halloween-lover will know, it's NOT just for the kids! To celebrate the spooky season, we've rounded up some things you can only really enjoy once a year - on the 31st October.

Check out some of the best things about Halloween season:

1) Elaborate pumpkin carving

Now we're old enough to be trusted with a knife, we can carve out some crazy-good designs!

2) An excuse for fancy dress

Weeks are spent trying to find the most elaborate fancy dress, even if we end up just throwing a sheet on.

3) Watching horror films

You can get in the Halloween spirit before the day by watching all the creepy films you weren't allowed to as a kid.

4) Eating all the treats without feeling guilty

It's Halloween, of course - we can eat all the treats!

5) Dressing up your pets

We aren't sure they love it as much as we do, but dressing up your dog in a Halloween fancy dress costume is quite popular these days. Find the best dog Halloween costumes right here.

6) We can make Halloween themed food

Love Halloween? Love tasty treats? Well why not combine the two and whip up some horrors that taste awfully good!
