Forget a sheet over your head and a lop-sided grimace on the pumpkin, Halloween has gone high-tech
ZOMBIE SLINGFIRE
DIGITAL DUDZ MASKS
With one of this new range of smartphone activated masks, you’re definitely set to win that ‘best party costume’ prize. Select your ghoulish character from a range of maggot-munching zombies and friends and, when you’ve downloaded the free app, simply open the mask up, pop your handset inside and marvel as it all comes to (sort of) life. Utterly brilliant. £30.99
MINI FOGGER MIST GENERATOR
Create the perfectly spooky atmosphere at your Halloween bash with this clever little box. Stick it inside any water feature, then stand back and marvel at its mystical mist-making abilities. You can even use the LEDs to light it up, for extra ghoulish points. Very effective piece of kit. £19.99
STAR WARS DARTH MOOD LIGHT
The best part about having one of these Darth-themed lamps is that they’re not just for Halloween (though they do come into their own on October 31). The brilliantly themed, battery-powered lamp also comes in two sizes, and – for non-Darth fans – also comes in Stormtrooper style. £17.95
MOVING EYEBALL T-SHIRT
Who knew getting ready for Halloween night was as simple as throwing on a t-shirt? Well, as long as it’s this brilliantly gruesome eye-ball rolling t-shirt. Stick your smartphone, with its eyeball moving app, into the secure pouch inside the garment, then tap the screen, and off you go. £20.99
FREAKY BODY ILLUSIONS
All you need to take off your fingers one by one, remove your hand completely and other such essential tricks. With an instructional DVD, it’s perfect for keeping the children happy once they’re bored of old-school apple bobbing. £34.99
