Halloween is a good excuse to get people together. A few costumes, something delicious to eat and an evening that feels a little more supernatural than usual.

But between the decorations, treats and entertainment, it’s easy to end up buying things that spend the next eleven months in a cupboard, or go straight in the bin.

Whether you’re entertaining the children, inviting friends over or settling in for a spooky film, hiring a few well-chosen additions can make for a special night.

Turn Your Living Room into a Halloween Cinema

Draw the curtains, gather the cushions and choose your level of scary.

For younger children, that might mean a Halloween cartoon. For grown-ups, perhaps something that makes everyone think twice about walking home.

Our Movie Night Bundle brings together a projector, screen, sound bar and popcorn machine for a proper cinema evening at home. Just add your favourite film - and someone brave enough to turn the lights off.

Make the Treats Part of the Fun

Trick-or-treating doesn’t have to be the whole evening.

Bring everyone back for a costume parade, a pumpkin competition or a few games around the kitchen table. A candy floss machine can turn the treats into an attraction of their own.

Give Your Party a Different Soundtrack

Once the pumpkins are carved and the costumes are on, it’s time for the music.

A karaoke machine gives everyone a chance to perform - whether they’ve prepared a Halloween classic or simply want to sing their favourite song dressed as a vampire.

Or try silent disco headphones for a dance floor that’s almost as entertaining to watch as it is to join.

Party More, Not Spend More

You don’t need to turn the whole house into a haunted mansion full of cobweb covered tat.

Choose the kind of evening you want, then hire around it. A film and fresh popcorn. Costumes and karaoke. A few friends, a good playlist and maybe some space to dance.

Renting means you can try something different without buying stuff you’ll only use occasionally - or finding somewhere to keep it afterwards.

WhyBuy delivers across London and collects when you’re finished, so you won't end up with more skeletons taking up your cupboards...or scary credit card bills waiting for you.
