Halloween is creeping up, and the spookiest season of the year is upon us!
Whether you’re a fan of tricks, treats, or terrifyingly terrific costumes, Camberwell Junction has you covered for all your Halloween needs.
Get ready to embark on a ghoulishly delightful adventure and explore the eerie offerings of this retail precinct that’s bubbling with Halloween spirit.
Creepy costumes
All you need for a funny and frightening Halloween costume is a few bits and pieces and a great backstory – and the gorier the story, the better! It could be the butcher who wasn’t paying attention, the French aristocrat whose blunt guillotine didn’t quite do the job, the childcare worker driven to insanity, the WW1 bride roaming the earth searching for her soldier who never showed up – you get the picture.
If you’re going historical, stop in at Salvos for the costume basics, then head to Kmart and Kidstuff for some red paint (blood) and crafting dough (warts, bones, you name it), and Aldi for their random assortment of Halloween accessories.
If your kids prefer their costumes more Marvel than misadventure, Kmart and Kidstuff also have a great range of princess, superhero, and movie villain costumes.
Devilishly delicious dinner party
Halloween is a great time to grab your cauldron, summon your inner chef, and brew up some devilishly good dishes for a Halloween dinner party that’ll make everyone scream… with delight!
From boo-zy beverages to fang-tastic finger foods, Camberwell Junction has everything you need to have your ghoulish guests howling for more.
Get all your fresh fruit and vegetables at Camberwell Fresh Food Market, and stock up on meat at Commercial Butchers and Golden Rooster.
Over at Camberwell Place, you can grab everything to fuel your guests with deli bites and snacks from Coltivare and the freshest fish and seafood from Fish Pier.
If you’re hosting a wonderfully wicked event at home, don’t forget the drinks. Liquorland and Dan Murphy’s will have you covered!
Boo-tiful baking
This Halloween, it’s time to turn up the heat and bake some boo-tiful treats that’ll send shivers down your spine – in the sweetest way possible!
Cake pops make terrific eyeballs, cookies can be cut to resemble body parts like severed fingers, marshmallows are really just ghosts in the making, chocolate pudding becomes dirt when you throw in a few gummy worms, and cupcakes with icing piped in a particular way and drizzled with red food dye is a dead ringer for brains.
Devilishly delicious creations that will leave your goblin guests saying, “that’s fang-tastic!” start with spooky ingredients from Woolworths, Coles and The Source Bulk Foods.
Chilling crafts
This Halloween let your creativity run wild with some hair-raisingly fun arts and crafts projects with the kids! Whether you’re drawing eerie-sistible haunted houses, sculpting creepy-crawly creatures, or painting petrifying pumpkins, Camberwell Junction has you covered.
Officeworks is a treasure trove of crafting supplies, with a bewitching selection of paper, markers, and all the ghoulish gadgets you’ll need to conjure your Halloween creations.
For the wow factor, point your broomstick in the direction of Smiggle, where spooky stickers, pens, and notebooks await, and The Gift Bargain Store, where you’re bound to unearth eerie treasures for your Halloween decor.
October 31 is no time to be a scaredy-cat, head down to Camberwell Junction for everything you need for a fang-tasticly happy Halloween!
