October is here, and I’m diving headfirst into the cozy, spooky magic of the season. In this video, I’m sharing cozy Halloween decorating ideas, transforming our garage into a DIY Halloween party space (imagine a carnival tent ceiling and Harry Potter-inspired Great Hall), making ghost-shaped pizzas, and ending the night with a cozy Halloween movie marathon. This is how I get into an October state of mind.

🎃 In this Halloween decorating video you’ll see:
Cozy Halloween home decorating ideas around the house
A DIY garage makeover for our Halloween party decor
How to make a circus tent ceiling using tablecloths

Anyone else watching this in July because you can’t wait any longer?!

Cozy Halloween is a mood I didn't expect to blow up this big — it pulls in buyers who skip the gore and go straight for warm neutrals and pumpkins. The whole aesthetic here is really well done.

Your videos are just so fun to watch. I don’t really do Halloween anymore cause all my little grandchildren live far away now. But watching you and your thrill of it is still so fun for me. I am an October birthday also… but I am turning 72. Happy Birthday to you my young friend and keep enjoying our most favorite season…the magical season of FALL!! And all I can say is WOW to your party decorations….your guests are so lucky to have been invited!!!

My favorite October memory was my 11th birthday. It was October 7th, my mom allowed me to invite all the girls from my sixth grade class. We'd been playing games when an intense storm started up. We had candles all around as the primary source of lighting in our house, sleeping bags carpeted the floor of our living room. We decided to play Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board. It worked! We actually lifted my friend Holly off the ground! Crazy! It was like she was in a trance and then suddenly, she snapped out of it and collapsed out our hands. At that very moment, there was a flash of lighting and huge clap of thunder that shook the windows. A tremendous gust of wind blew the front door wide open, crashing it against the wall behind. What electrical lights we had on (tinted orange and purple) went out. All at once. Our neighbors down the street heard us all screaming.🤣😆🤣 Best night of my life. Later the power came back on and we finished the night with an Elvira marathon and popcorn.

We are a big Halloween decorating family and this year we are moving . My daughter is so sad that we aren’t decorating for the season and to be honest, I am too. I usually take a day and decorate while they are at school so when they get home it’s done. I always love to see their smiles when they get home that day. We have a full size skeleton that I pose everyday doing something different around the house. This was so fun to watch I loved the moon man! Your party is gonna be great, you guys nailed it!

I loved everything about this video. The narration, music, vibe. I also always wanted to be a witch instead of a princess, and have a fascination with ghosts. My college roommate and I had an encounter ( at the same time ). It didn’t help as our nursing school dorm room was attached to a hospital and was right down from the ER! I wish you the happiest of birthdays

Fun! 🎃👻😄
It has been many years since I have hosted a Halloween party. One year I even turned a small bedroom into a haunted house tour. The room was very dark.. bottom drawer of the armoire became a coffin with a skeleton laying there, a few other pop up scary accents, an eerie mist wafting through and my brother with a black, feathered bird, full head mask would step out from beside the armoire and really scare the guests.
Another time we set up a tiny haunted maze in the front yard, made out of a bunch of old political sinage, inside a big cauldron with my brother inside being stirred around in the stew by a witch mannequin. Around the corner was a stuffed clothing Frankenstein's monster lying on a chained table, all the teens touring the maze, laughing because it was just stuffed clothing and a mask.. until the arm came alive and grabbed them. Their screams were very loud. .... There was someone hidden under the table with his arm through a hole in the surface and into the sleeve of the dummy's suit.
😆🤣
It's fun what you can come up with even when working with a tiny space. It became the attraction of the neighborhood. 😆
HAPPY OCTOBER! and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
