Advent and countdown calendars may have started as a Christmas tradition, but Halloween lovers have adopted the practice with their own versions and created countless fun ways to celebrate each day of October.
Like with their holiday counterparts, Halloween advent calendars can come pre-filled with a variety of miniature candies, toys, riddles and more, letting you skip to the fun part of ripping open each day to find a delightful surprise.
Others calendars are crafted to be filled by you so you can customize each day to contain your family's favorite candies or toys, then simply stash it away for next year to start a memorable autumn tradition.
Regular countdown calendars take a simpler approach, with most (like the precious Mickey Mouse option below) only requiring a simple reset for each October day. The Vermont Christmas Company Store Haunted House Countdown is slightly more interactive and offers a fun riddle or joke to brighten your day as you wait for Halloween.
