The leaves have started to change color and fall to the ground. The air has a chill once again. Fall is here and things are about to get spooky. Halloween is right around the corner.
While the main focus on Halloween is the costume, and there’s certainly a lot that goes into a great Halloween fit, don’t discredit the need for some ghastly desserts and decor floating around your Halloween home. Whether you’re hosting the party this year or just want to spike the holiday with some extra eerieness, we’ve got you covered. Turn up the scare factor this Halloween with these DIY tricks and treats.
Trick? Or treat? It’s your choice. Or you can have both. Nobody’s stopping you!
