The Halloween in Malaysia Checklist You Need to Read

So Halloween is just around the corner and boy do we have loads of ideas just for you! Some of you may be organizing a party and some will be attending one instead. No matter which boat you’re on, you’ll surely need some ideas and inspiration to host the spookiest Halloween party of the year or turn up as best-dressed at the party of your choice – and you’ve come to the right place. Here we will be helping you out with costumes, make-up, props, venues, and post-party memories. Do watch out for out random did-you-knows along the way!

Costume

A Halloween party would not be a Halloween party if you don’t come dressed from top-to-toe in a horrifying costume. Then again, turning up at a party looking horrifying is just a bonus. These days, event-goers dress up as superheroes, anime characters and even kinky bar-maids. Here are two ideas for your get-up which would put even Freddy Krueger to shame.

Fallen Angel 

Angels are over-rated. We have seen our fair share of people dressing up as angels and it’s darn boring. They are God’s messengers and are symbol of love, hope and everything good. Fallen angels, on the other hand, were angels who rebelled against God and hence cast out of heaven. All the more suitable for Halloween as compared to their innocent counterpart!

Take a look at AliExpress for hundreds of costume selections to suit your fancy.

The Party Animal 

You have to admit that cartoon animal-themed onesies are simply irresistible! They’re easy to put on and would attract loads of attention regardless if you’re male or female. This is probably every lazy person’s dream-come-true!

On a side note, I think going in a zentai suit would totally make heads turn.

Did you know? The first Jack O’ Lanterns were actually made from turnips. Poor turnip is now overshadowed by the massive pumpkin!

Make-up

Now ladies, if you have zilch ideas on how to get started with your terrifying make-up do, Luxola has come up with three looks under RM150 (valid until 31st) to help you out. Would you like to be a glowing fairy, a leopard seductress or a vampy vixen? Make-up products are listed on the page along with an image of the look. Take your look up a notch by putting on colored contact lenses as well. GlassesOnline provides fast shipping on selected contact lens to enhance your look. Just make sure you place your order by 28^th October! On the other hand, if you’re a guy and planning to just smear some white or colored cream on your face for that exaggerated look, Rakuten’s Happy Halloween Sale provides you with just that under the make-up section.

Did you know? Children are more than twice as likely to be killed in a pedestrian/car accident on Halloween than on any other night.

Decorations & Props

In case you have a thing for everything horror or simply love organizing parties, the best e-commerce store to visit would be Bug’s Party as they provide party essentials not only for Halloween but for parties in general. They’ve got all the props you probably can’t get anywhere else such as arm stakes, hanging ghouls, severed body parts and other props sure to make your Halloween party the one spoken of for months to come.

Did you know? If you see a spider on Halloween, it is actually the spirit of a loved one watching you. Pretty creepy, don’t you think?

Venue

If there is insufficient space in your home, you can always opt to rent a home or space through Airbnb. They provide a wide range of selection to make it easier for you to select a venue suitable for your night of fright according to your needs. Those planning to throw a party for up to 20 pax could opt for this triple-storey 6-bedroom house in Penang which I personally think can surely accommodate more than 20 people (hehe). This leaves you with more space to decorate the house with awesome props too! Feel free to check out other listings too.

Did you know? Chocolate candy bars top the list as the most popular candy for trick-or-treaters with Snickers at #1.

Post-party

Halloween doesn’t have to be too much of a horrifying nor terrifying experience. It can be extremely fun if not memorable especially when your kids are involved. These memories with your beloved should be cherished and a way to bring these memories to life would be to create a customized photo books full to the brim of the night’s photos at Photobook Malaysia. Besides photo books, you can also customize your own Halloween-themed notebooks, wall-décor and more with their easy-to-use templates.

There you have it, everything you need for a fun and spooky Halloween experience this year. We hope that we’ve been of help and that you have a creepily awesome Halloween! 

Moonlight, Starlight,

Give us a candle, give us a light,
If you don't you'll get a fright!
It's punky night tonight!
