Okay, duvets at the ready, get out the candy and prepare to get your spook on!

What are the top 5 Halloween movies for Adults?

1. The Craft (1996)

Witchcraft, girl powers, weird spells, this has all the making of a Halloween classic. Best not watched alone, dive into the world of three friends navigating high school with a fondness for the extraordinary…

2. Hocus Pocus (1993)

You thought this would be on the Kid’s list? Not a chance (they can’t have all the fun). Join three 300-year-old witches tracking down their old spell book and prepare to laugh and scream. With a stellar cast of Sarah Jessica Parker, Bette Middler and Najimy, this one will give you all the Halloween feels.

3. BeetleJuice (1988)

It’s another oldie but goodie! Beetlejuice delivers an effortless blend of comedy and horror following a couple trying to get rid of a mischievous spirit (best avoided if you have just moved into a new house)

4. Scream, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7

Just because. It’s like selection boxes at Christmas, Halloween doesn’t seem right without it. Join the familiar cast for the deadly games that have made this movie franchise a cult classic.

5. The Blair Witch Project (1999)

Proof you don’t need a big budget to make a really scary movie. This flash-light documentary will have you hiding under your duvet – so make sure it’s a snuggly one.

Ok, it’s the Kid’s turn for a screen based ghost ride.

What are the best Halloween movies for Kids?

1. The nightmare before Christmas (1993)

Let’s kick things off with pumpkins, mischief and skeletons at the best time of year. Naughty Jack Skellington plots to kidnap Santa Claus. Will he be able to mess up Christmas? You will have to watch the movie to find out.

2. Casper (1995)

Proof not all ghost are scary, Casper is a family favourite. The gentle ghost helps a young girl get rid of nasty spirits and will likely be the most loved movie you watch this Halloween.

3. Coraline (2009)

Feisty and curious Coraline is the perfect Halloween heroine; following a big move, kids love following Coraline as she tries to make new friends and find excitement in her new world.

4. Ghostbusters (2016)

This modern take on the classic keeps all the best bits, spooky ghouls and monsters on the loose. It’s a bit of Halloween fun best enjoyed with candy and snuggles on the sofa.

5. Hotel Transylvania (2012)

Visit the hotel monsters go on holiday, a bit like Haribo – the big kids can’t help but enjoy it too. A little more fun than scary (thank you, Adam Sandler), this puts the cute into Halloween.

So there you go, you are all set to spend Halloween on the sofa with this movie marathon. And to make sure nobody is too scared to go to bed, explore our ghoul-proof range of super soft, snuggly, 100 % Bamboo Bedding to hide under when you are done.

Sweet Dreams

Spending more time at home and beginning to run out of things to do? Enjoy a scroll of these planet-friendly ideas to make the most of time indoors and keep you and your family entertained.

As the days get colder, shorter and it’s dark by dinner time there’s no better place to be than warm and cosy at home. Though spending more time indoors, especially when you have little ones, can begin to feel as dull as the weather. Looking for inspiration? You are in the right spot. Here are some easy, eco-friendly ways to have fun while keeping cosy at home, sweet home.

1. Get Crafting

Time to get creative! With a little imagination, you can do a bit of your own upcycling whether with tired furniture, clothes or even old bottles. Have a look around the house and see what you can find. All you need to spruce up tired furniture is some fresh paints and a bit of rearranging. Adding a vase of fresh flowers to that old chest of drawers for example? Speaking of vases- about those bottles. Painting old milk or wine bottles and popping one or two of your favourite blooms is a great eco-friendly way to bring a bright splash of nature into your favourite room. Roll up those sleeves and get crafting.

2. Did someone say ‘Duvet Day’?

Cold weather calls for marathon movie days… Whether it’s watching your favourite Disney flicks (hoping the little mermaid is on that list) or getting into the festive spirit with Christmas classics – a fluffy duvet is essential. Duvet days are one of the greatest joys of winter. Keep them eco-friendly with a thermoregulating, bamboo duvet like Panda’s dreamy Cloud. The natural, breathable fabric will keep everyone oh-so-cosy and is perfect for snuggling all year round. For extra brownie points whip up some delicious vegan snacks and enjoy a cosy day together of sofa-surfing all wrapped up and comfy.

4. Picture Perfect

While most of our snaps are stored in the cloud or on social media these days, cosy days at home are great for getting out the old photo albums! From laughing at baby photos, cringe haircuts to reminiscing about the good old days, reflecting on memories are the perfect way to enjoy spending the colder days indoors. Celebrating special moments and the wonderful people in our lives is not only a planet-friendly way to enjoy time at home, but it is also great for giving us a warm glow of gratitude for all we have.

5. The big clean

Keeping our planet as clean as possible is a big challenge that we all need to work together on. Though the home is a good place to start. Doing some research into easy eco-friendly switches on your favourite products can make a big difference. From eco-friendly bedding like bamboo pillows, mattresses, and toppers to cleaning products like washing liquid, there are lots of small swaps that can help keep your home and the environment healthy. Even making an effort to use less water, washing on a lower heat, or snuggling up with blankets instead of turning up the heating can help take better care of our world. Over tea and those baked cakes, make a list of ways to be more eco-friendly at home and enjoy spending time together while making our planet smile.

With the precious winter months we get to spend at home, these eco-friendly ideas will help make the world a better place while making the most of your time together. One cosy day at a time.
