Halloween is the perfect excuse to turn your living room into a cozy, spooky spot for an epic movie night! Whether you're all about classic horror, light-hearted family flicks, or something in between, setting the right vibe can really take your movie marathon to the next level. Living at Versus gives you the ideal space to create the ultimate Halloween hangout—let's dive into how you can transform your living room with just a few easy touches.

Set the Mood with Chill Lighting

First things first—let's get that lighting right. Ditch the overhead lights and go for a more subtle, spooky glow. String up some fairy lights in orange or purple, or light a few candles (real or LED) for that classic eerie flicker. You can even drape some fake cobwebs around your lights for extra effect.

Want to make it even better? If you’ve got a projector, use it for that at-home cinema feel. It’ll really bring your movie night to life.

Add Some Fun Halloween Vibes

It’s Halloween, so let’s make your space feel like it! Throw in some easy decorations like mini pumpkins, skeletons, or black cats. You can hang up a few paper bats or scatter fake spiders on the coffee table. A Halloween-themed blanket tossed over the couch also goes a long way to set the tone.

If you’re on a budget, DIY is the way to go—cut out some jack-o-lanterns from paper or make a quick banner with Halloween phrases. It’s simple and effective!

Keep It Cozy and Comfy

Comfort is key for any movie marathon. Pile up the pillows, lay out the blankets, and make sure everyone’s got a comfy seat. Encourage your friends or family to rock their coziest pajamas or even Halloween onesies. If you’ve got extra people coming over, bring out the floor cushions or bean bags for added seating.

Build a Killer Snack Bar

Snacks are a must, right? Set up a snack station with Halloween-themed treats like candy corn popcorn, “monster” cookies, or caramel apples. You can also keep it simple with bowls of chips, chocolate, and candy. For drinks, a Halloween punch or some soda with fun straws can keep the theme going.

For an adult crowd, why not whip up a spooky cocktail? You could do a “witch’s brew” with dry ice for a foggy, mysterious vibe.

Choose Your Movie Lineup

Now, what’s Halloween without the movies? Line up a mix of crowd-pleasers based on your group’s vibe. If you’re into horror, classics like Halloween or The Exorcist are always a hit. For something lighter, Hocus Pocus, Beetlejuice, or The Addams Family are fun picks.

You can even make it interactive—have everyone vote on the movie lineup to keep things fair.

Keep the Fun Going Between Flicks

Don’t forget to keep the energy up between flicks! Have a mini costume contest, snap photos in a DIY spooky photo booth, or challenge each other to Halloween trivia. It’s a fun way to break up the night and keep the good times rolling.

With these fun and simple changes, you can turn your Versus Living apartment into the ultimate Halloween movie night spot. Whether you're in it for the scares or just a cozy night with friends, creating the right atmosphere will make it a night to remember. So grab your favourite movies, snacks, and friends, and get ready to enjoy a fun, spooky night in!
