While you've probably retired from trick-or-treating by the time you hit college, there are still plenty of ways you can get into the Halloween spirit. And one of our favourites is by decking your dorm room out with spooky and cute October decor. Putting some witchy touches on your home away from home is the perfect thing to make it more your own, collaborate with you roommate, and make new friends (people are bound to pop in and say hello if you have a decorated door!).
The good news is that there are tons of affordable and compact home goods for your dorm, from ghoulish pieces on Amazon to signature collections from retailers such as Target and Pier 1. So, make room for some bat stickers and jack-o-lantern LED lights, because here are our favourite Halloween pieces that'll make your room the spookiest haunt in town — or, you know, on your floor.
