Whether you have a big Halloween party to go to, you want to impress at your own, or even if you're sitting in to answer the trick or treaters, these clever re-vamp hacks will make your costumer better than ever.
We all have these odd Halloween bits lying around the house, so why not make them into something new:
Devil's Pitchfork to Mermaid's Trident
1. Spray both sides of your pitchfork in a green or blue colour and let it sit for an hour to dry.
2. Next, glue on any embellishments you have. You can use anything like sea shells, pearls, sequins and ribbons.
3. To finish, use a glitter spray to add a bit of sparkle to your new mermaid trident and it's good to go!
Rabbit Ears to Mouse Ears
1. You can really make these into any animal of your choice but if you want to achieve cute mouse ears, first fold down the bunny ears to make a circular shape.
2. Cut pieces of felt to cover the headpiece. Make sure to measure how much you'll need before cutting.
3. Stick the pieces of felt to the ears with a strong glue (so you're able to party your socks off).
4. Cut off any loose ends and if you want, dazzle your ears with some sequins or jewels.
Cat Mask to Masquerade mask
1. Cut the ears off your mask.
2. Paint the mask in a colour of your choice.
3. Glue on any embellishments, like feathers, flowers, sequins or lace.
4. To finish. attach a stick or rod to the corner of your mask so you'll be able to hold it up at the party.
While it might be a bit of a morbid hobby, watching true crime documentaries is a pretty popular pastime – and there is no better way to pass the time on Halloween.
YouTube is full of some of the best murder films, from the old and grainy, to the most recent and cutting edge.
Here are a few to add to your true crime repertoire:
This documentary covers the notorious case of teenage killer Brenda Spencer, who was behind the tragic Cleveland Elementary School shooting in 1979.
The then 16-year-old was found guilty of the murder of two people in the shooting, and of the wounding of nine.
When asked why she committed the heinous crime, she simply replied "I don't like Mondays," which inspired the song I Don't Like Mondays by Irish band The Boomtown Rats.
This harrowing and eery documentary covers the crimes of uber-creep Joseph Fritzl, who kept his own daughter locked away in an underground cellar for 24 years.
During this time, he committed a range of horrendous crimes against her and ended up fathering seven children with her.
Jonestown was the nickname for a compound called the Peoples Temple Agricultural Project formed by the Peoples Temple, an American cult which was around in the 1970s.
The cult gained notoriety in 1978 when 918 members were mass murdered and committed mass suicide on the same day by cyanide poisoning.
The smiley face murder theory is a theory which connects a number of unsolved murders in the USA.
All of the victims bodies were found near the symbol of a smiley face, and this documentary explores the theory in full, and looks at the various murders.
Lili Reinhart is so DONE with online bullies right now.
She has always been vocal about the huge amount of attention that has come her way since she joined the Riverdale cast, and not all of it is positive.
Some of her fans seem to have trouble realising that both Lili and her co-star and real-life boyfriend Cole Sprouse, who plays Jughead Jones, are not actually their characters.
Since Shannon Purser shared an on-screen kiss with Jughead, all of the #Bughead army have been sending MASSIVE amounts of hate poor Shannon's way.
Shannon Purser has never been one to shy away from defending herself, like the true queen she is, and LIli Reinhart has her back.
Adding to that. Shannon is my friend, and it is embarrassing that people felt the need to attack her personally for something that happened on a SHOW. Written by WRITERS. You are not a fan of mine if you treat my friend like this. https://t.co/Yu7aEIGHyk
The former Stranger Things star plays the character of Ethel on the hit Netflix show Riverdale, Wednesday's episode had fans up in arms about a plot-line that was totally out of the actress' hands.
Ethel told Jughead that he had to kiss her in order to get the “scripture” for G&G, so Jughead gave her a quick smooch and they both moved on. Sounds simple, doesn't it? Nope.
Twitter trolls proceeded to attack Shannon, calling her "fat" and "ugly" simply because her FICTIONAL character kissed Jughead. *Sighs*
The Sierra Burgess is a Loser actress allegedly posted a Spongebob meme accompanying the phrase: "All the stans who finally feel comfortable calling me fat/ugly now that Ethel has interfered with their ship.”
She then went on to add, "I’m not stressed about it, trust me. I just wonder what these people will think in like 10 yrs when they remember their twitter and realize they insulted and attacked real human beings for their character on a tv show…"
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are one of our favourite celebrity couples. The parents have been married for six years and are more in love than ever.
However, like every couple, the duo had to endure those early days of awkward dates, cheesy flirting and confusion.
Justin opened up about the first time he met his now wife and there’s no doubt he was smitten from the get-go.
He shared the momentous moment in his book Hindsight.
“When I met Jess, it was undeniable how beautiful she is,” he gushed.
The Cry Me A River singer said Jessica’s sense of humour stole his heart when they first met at a Hollywood party: “I made some sort of sarcastic comment, really dry. Nobody got it except her. She laughed, and I noticed, all of a sudden, and in the way where you wonder if a person’s like you, if they have a very dry, dark sense of humour, too.”
That moment won the Can’t Stop The Feeling over: “There was just something about that girl. Kind of interested in that girl,” he confessed.
He may be an award-winning singer, but even Justin was nervous about asking The Sinner actress out: “I had to psych myself up. I had to remind myself that I was me — giving myself a pep talk, shadowboxing with myself, rubbing my own shoulders.”
The dad admitted they didn’t get together until the Golden Globes. Both Jessica and Justin were very wary of getting too attached to one another: “We were both still seeing other people, keeping ourselves safe from getting hurt, from really putting ourselves out there. It took a bit for both of us to admit to ourselves that we were really, really into each other.”
Let's not lie to ourselves, we are all GUSHING over the whirlwind romance that's sweeping Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra off their feet.
They are both stunning to look at, and no one can deny how in love they are. Since meeting at the Met Gala in 2017, it's been no secret that they enjoy each other's company, to say the least.
Now that they're engaged, and Priyanka has that WHOPPER of a Tiffany & Co. ring on her finger, we feel it's time to learn how their relationship really started.
So let's get the dirt, how did he go from being her Fashion Forward date to future hubby? Following Chopra's NYC bridal shower, she gave us a few deets on their romance and we are LAPPING it up.
"Just being in the whole situation of finding somebody who can be a partner to you in so many more ways than one is amazing, so yes I'm very excited," she mused. Ugh, they're too cute.
In a separate interview, when asked about her singer fiancé, Priyanka gushed that the key to their relationship is all about a dose of Aretha Franklin's fave thing: respect.
"By that, I don't mean makes coffee for you, not that," she clarified. "But someone who respects the hard work you put into your life."
The bride elaborates that, for her, a respectful person is someone "who respects that if his work is important, so is yours. Or if he makes choices that are important to him, so is your opinion. That's respect, and that's incredible to have."
Their relationship sounds hella healthy to us. We're so happy for them, but where's our formal text message and Met Gala 2019 date?
Welcome to Riverdale’s neighbouring Greendale, where “it always feels like Halloween.”
The new Netflix reboot based on the Archie Comics original has already received hugely positive reviews, and now it's our turn to investigate.
From the opening theme with it's rich, horror-soaked animation paired with eerie music, Sabrina adopts the alluring fantasy of the supernatural and brings it into 2018.
Kiernan Shipka of Mad Men fame steps into the role of a sweet-looking girl with a wicked secret. We’re hooked already, tbh.
The modern-day teen drama is perfect for the time. Sabrina Spellman is a seriously empowered, political gal who we can easily see protesting on the streets looking glam AF, with Harvey on her arm.
On her 16th birthday, Sabrina will have to choose “between two worlds: the witch world of her family and the human world of her friends.”
The main gal herself is ordered to choose between the mortal world and the world of Satan, but it is only a deceitful imposter of a choice, in reality she has no control over what is going on around her.
Forces around her are trying to pull her a million ways, and the secret is simmering throughout the opening episodes in regards to why exactly she is being lied to about her heritage.
Her ‘Dark Baptism’ (what even?) is the night where her life-changing decision must be made, and it’s quite a scene.
Sabrina, whose father was a powerful Satanic priest (the Salem equivalent of your dad being on the Supreme Court) and whose mother was a mortal, is expected to pledge allegiance to the Dark Lord, Lucifer himself, and renounce her human ties.
In return, she gets unfathomable power—but only in return for total and unquestionable loyalty.
Naturally, Sabrina doesn’t want to leave her friends and boyfriend behind, which is the consequence of choosing to serve the devil. So far, so relatable.
Harvey is adorbs to be fair; Disney Channel doesn’t seem suitable for child actor Ross Lynch in this context. He’s a slightly minor character in the initial few episodes, with the main draw obviously being Sabrina and her struggle surrounding her Sweet Sixteen.
The show paints a far more macabre, historically accurate picture of witchcraft, which has long been associated with sexual deviance and the corruptible power of women.
First of all – I LOVE that she refuses to be bullied into making a choice – women are often cornered into sacrificing parts of who they are, but this gal is having NONE of it.
Her character is also more complex than her initial impression conveys- there are undoubtedly dark parts to her light aura. She is far too casual when discussing hexing her principal, for example. The spider scene which accompanies this hex is traumatic as a total arachnophobe, but I'll forgive them for it. Eventually.
I wasn't expecting to be genuinely spooked by some of the content, but it made it even more enjoyable. Think of it like a dramatic teenage female Harry Potter: an orphan with a colossal weight on her shoulders, an animal sidekick and some MAD sorcery skills.
Plenty of freaky stuff starts happening from the get go: she takes a bite of a malum malus—an evil apple, and has a vision of witches hanging from a tree.
She is told she must sign the Book of the Beast in the woods with her own blood. She gets a blood curse. The list goes on, really. The darkness and absurdity create a kind of gruesome and macabre humour, which grows as the episodes progress.
The audience becomes pretty desensitised to the weirdness, after all we have seen some pretty ridiculous stories from other YA series (Pretty Little Liars, The Vampire Diaries, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Twilight etc).
I was part of the generation that watched the 1990's Sabrina until the BITTER END. The bitter end being, of course, her wedding to long-time on and off boyfriend, Harvey.
The show ran from 1996 until 2003, and was far more comedic and slapstick than the current endeavour. Screwball humour, a hilarious witty cat named Salem and a leading lady who was far more relatable than other female characters on TV.
Kiernan Shipka, who plays the protagonist, said, “It’s nothing like the ‘90s sassy, mean Salem at all. That’s its own thing that we’re not going to try to compete with or be in the slightest because you can’t live up to that in any way. This is more of a subtle sort of nod, I would say, to the old show.”
She's dead right, the new show is 100% not trying to imitate any of its predecessors, and this works in its favour. Loyalists of the Melissa Joan Hart edition will be fairly baffled at the lack of humour, and disappointed about Salem the wisecracking kitty being MUTE.
I'll be honest, this devastated me. Salem was hilarious, the original was voiced by Nick Bakay and he's still iconic for his sassiness. The modern day Salem might well speak in future, the show's creator hasn't ruled it out.
The main positive of creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacaso's take on the show is the relevance to modern day and age of Me Too.
At Baxter High School, Sabrina stands up to bullies and founds a women’s intersectional cultural and creative association (WICCA) to provide students with support.
Her BFF Susie is gender non-conforming and suffers for it, and her STUH-NING cousin Ambrose (Chance Perdomo) is pansexual. He is such an aesthetically pleasing man, here's his Instagram for you all to creep on if you don't believe me.
He could win Most Beautiful Mortician of All Time any day, but who can say if this is a hotly contested competition.
As a witch participating in various ceremonies, Sabrina publicly objects to the controlling behaviour of Satan himself. She's braver than us…
She’s of the social media generation, woke AF would be the phrase that immediately comes to mind. She's super savvy, and sniffs out injustices in her own world and in the supernatural.
We love a gal who questions authority. Witches historically have been used to fit the zeitgeist of the time, and the current political climate is part of the reason why the show could be taking off.
The notion of what would happen if women had supernatural power has terrified communities around the world since the 13th century.
The show has already been confirmed for a season two, before season one had even aired.
One down-side of Sabrina for me is the over-the-top theatricality in some parts, but we can’t deny it’s entertainment value.
The orgy scenes, for example, were a bit much considering Sabrina Spellman is sixteen and has an adorable boyfriend, but we get what they were going for.
Maybe they’re trying to embody the wilderness and confusion of adolescence, or maybe they’re just in the mood for some seriously sinister teenage drama. Who can tell?
What no one can deny about the Archie Comics reboots is that teenage angst is taken totally seriously; the adolescent frustrations, anxieties, passions and friendships are all explored and given a platform.
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa of Riverdale fame has his roots showing in this context. Riverdale had a plot in season one and has now just completely gone off in bizarre tangents, hopefully Sabrina doesn't end up going down this route.
Melissa Joan Hart herself has given the Netflix effort her stamp of approval.
One thing's for sure: you won’t be bored, and you’ll definitely appreciate the fun she has with her wicked skills.
It's highly-enjoyable television that made me want to join a coven and curse the entire patriarchy. Well, even more so than I did before…
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is currently streaming on Netflix.
“They’ve been at each other’s necks for a few weeks now.
“Dani has been offered so many opportunities since leaving the villa, from her hugely successful clothing range with In The Style to appearances with her dad.
“She has a very busy schedule and is doing incredibly well for herself following Love Island,” the source explained.
“But the more projects Dani takes on the less time she spends with Jack, so tensions between them are mounting.
“A lot is riding on them staying together as they continue to film their reality series – but Dani may not have the patience to stay in the relationship for much longer.”
However, the Love Island power couple quickly denied these claims.
The couple told OK! Magazine that they were “really happy”.
“We try not to pay too much attention to all the gossip,” they said.
“We’re just really happy at the moment and are enjoying spending so much time together filming our new show.”
