Once Halloween is over you can use the broom to clean up. Plus, brooms can be used for cleaning any time of year.
Books, books, books!
If you’re a big reader, scour your shelves for spooky reads and decorate your home with them. You can start a lending library during the month of Halloween with books sourced from home and the community.
Or explore secondhand bookshops for horror classics like Frankenstein, Dracula, The Haunting of Hill House, and Rosemary’s Baby, and modern reads like Bird Box and The Changeling.
And for the kids, you’re sure to find old copies of Goosebumps. This avoids waste completely as the books will just go back on your shelf or into the lending library. Or you can turn them into gifts for your guests or trick or treaters.
Set the mood with music
It’s not only lighting that sets the mood. Music plays a big part too. Compile a playlist packed with Halloween classics like Ghostbusters, Monster Mash, Season of the Witch, and I Want Candy.
And don’t forget Thriller so you can all dance like zombies. Playing sound effects like rattling chains and wailing ghosts is another fun effect. You’ll need electricity to play the music of course, but otherwise this idea is waste-free.
And now you’re ready to party, trick, and treat!
