This year, the calendar has handed us a treat: Halloween falls on a Saturday. No school-night scramble. No rushing home. Just more time to dress up, trick or treat and make a proper night of it.
Go pretty spooky with candy colour and cute ghosts. Turn up the glow. Dress as the character everyone will recognise at the door. Scare the neighbours, decorate the dog, pile the table with frighteningly good food or do the lot.
Whatever your flavour of spooky, Castle Towers has the costumes, treats, décor, beauty, party food and Halloween fun to bring it to life.
Spooky Halloween decorations.
Halloween 2026 can be sweet, silly and fun with pink pumpkins, cute ghosts and glow-in-the-dark details come alive once the sun goes down.
And the pumpkin? No knife required. Paint it. Bedazzle it. Cover it in bows. Add googly eyes. This year, no-carve pumpkins are giving everyone, especially little hands an easier way to get creative. Find Halloween décor at Target, and lights and glow at Adairs. BOO! The house is ready.
It’s Halloween costume time.
The year’s biggest characters are coming to a doorstep near you. The Odyssey is bringing ancient-world dressing back, think gods, warriors, draped tunics, armour and gold. Spider-Man is still a Halloween hero, while ghosts, witches, skeletons and vampires prove the classics never really die.
Find costumes and accessories at Red Dollar, and all the finishing touches at Kmart. Or pick one world and get everyone involved. Kids. Parents. Friends. Even the dog.
Don’t want a costume? Wear your spooky instead.
Not everyone wants a cape, wig and face paint. Halloween is creeping into everyday wardrobes too, with horror graphics, skulls, aliens, favourite characters and cult movie references appearing across tees, hoodies, caps and accessories.
Find Halloween wear at Best & Less, graphic tees at Cotton On and finishing touches at EB Games. A little Halloween. Zero costume commitment.
Pretty spooky party food
Halloween food has one job: make everyone look twice. Think eyeballs staring back from the platter. Ghosts hiding in the desserts. Neon sweets glowing on the table. Bloody sauces, creepy cakes and party food with just enough fright to get the kids squealing before they go back for seconds.
Or keep things ‘Pretty Spooky’ with colourful cakes, cute ghosts, sprinkles and treats that are much sweeter than they are scary. Pumpkin spice is creeping into more than coffee too, so keep an eye out for limited-edition drinks, bakery and confectionery.
Find Halloween treats at Coles, party food at Aldi and something frighteningly good from Haigh's Chocolates.
Need a Halloween beauty look? Get your BOO on.
The costume is only half the story. Go ‘Pretty Spooky’ with glitter, gems and colour. Add a Halloween mani. Let someone else tackle the hair. Or turn up the scare with smoky eyes, dramatic liner and makeup that makes everyone look twice.
Book nails at Everly Nails, hair at Just Cuts or get help with your Halloween makeup at Sephora.
You came for the costume. Stay for the transformation.
BOO! It’s glow time.
What Halloween movies are showing at Castle Towers?
The trick-or-treating may be over. The night doesn’t have to be. Grab the popcorn and settle in at Event Cinemas for something the whole family can enjoy. Or, once the little ghosts are tucked up, come back for something with a little more bite.
Check what’s showing at Event Cinemas this Halloween. You came for the treats. Stay for the fright.
