Board Games are a great way of chilling out, both in and out the house. If you’re looking to go out and explore then Scaredy Cats is an excellent place to grab a coffee and go socialise with friends. With a large array of board games there are definitely some creepy ones in stock.

However, if you’re looking to stay inside, there are some great creepy board games. Both One Night Ultimate Werewolf and Villainous encapsulate the creepy atmosphere of Halloween. Turn the lights off and light some candles then you’re in for an eery but wonderful night.

Go searching for Costumes

If you still want to dress up then you’re in luck. Take a browse in the Cardiff Joke Shop where you’ll find an endless amount of costume ideas. Witches, cats, vampires. Cardiff’s joke shop is always busy this time of year but for good reason, with a huge range of costumes.

If you’d rather make your own outfits then Primark is a great place to go for cheap clothes to DIY. Grab a cheap white T-shirt and transform it into a mummy costume.

Watch a spooky Halloween Film

There is a huge range of brilliant Halloween-themed films to relax to during the season. Whether alone or with your flatmates putting one of these one is an excellent pastime.
