From evil-looking carved pumpkins to ghostly face masks, we all know what time of the year it is when October comes along, and shelves in stores get taken over by all things orange and black – Halloween is creeping up real fast!
Whether you’re out to spook or be spooked, PayPal has got you covered! Here are five ways to get your thrill on with PayPal this Halloween.
1. Put on your best (worst?) face
Why be yourself when you can be a…. faceless ghost? A creepy clown? Or even
Billy Butcherson from Hocus Pocus?
Join in the horror with one of the many creepy costumes, matching props and scary make-up kits from
ASOS,
Spirit Halloween and more, available exclusively for this spooky season. Just remember not to freak out when checking yourself out in a mirror!
2. Throw a themed party
It’s best for the weak-hearted to steer clear of ghostly figures and keep your door shut, but that doesn’t mean you can’t throw a party on your own! With your own decor, there's less chance of you getting the shock of your life!
3. Netflix ‘n’ Chills
Flixtapes by Netflix
For the homebodies, nothing beats cuddling up at home and binge-watching some Halloween classics. From Casper to The Addams Family, feel the chills down your spine in the comfort of your own home with ‘
flixtapes’, a short themed playlist of up to six Netflix titles, curated to your heart’s desire. Share it with your friends on social media, or invite them over for a sleepover!
Feeling adventurous? We dare you to hold your own outdoor screening session of your favorite horror movies at an abandoned space, or even a cemetery.
4. Ghostly Gifting
Let’s embrace the Harvest season and bring on the Christmas gifting spirit before October ends, because who wouldn’t love that? Halloween gives us an excuse to gift the most absurd presents – from creepy
baby head candles, to
eyeball lollipops you’d better think twice before putting it into your mouth, this is the best time for the mischievous to spring a not-so-pleasant yet very festive surprise on your loved ones.
5. The good ol' Trick or Treat
Still, nothing beats celebrating Halloween the very old school way! Simply grab a pumpkin bucket, dress up your little ones, and send them off to collect candies for a fun night out.
Contrary to popular belief, Trick-or-Treating as an adult is totally not creepy, if you do it right. For the young at heart with a sweet tooth, take the chance to reveal your inner kid and go “TRICK OR TREAT!” again!
Happy Halloween from the PayPal team!
