Mysti Ghost is the mastermind behind some of the most talked-about Jellycat soirées – her events need to be seen to be believed! Think luminous garlands, floating balloon formations, and the kind of entrance that makes guests gasp. Literally. Admittedly, her music taste leans paranormal (expect a lot of spooky synths), but once the lights dim, and the cobweb disco ball spins… Well, you’ll be glad you RSVP’d.
If you’re throwing a Halloween party, there’s only one DJ you want. Nay, one DJ you need! And that’s Ooky Jack O Lantern. All glow, all go, and absolutely no cobweb classics. With his infectious grin and a playlist that jumps from monster funk to ghostly disco, he’s a pumpkin of many talents. He works closely with Amuseables Cassette Tape – she handles the old-school mixes while he adds the spooky flair. And if you hear an unexpected beat drop in the middle of trick-or-treating? That’s probably Ooky, queuing up his pumpkin remix.
Halloween is Skeleton Bob’s time. He runs the most beloved haunted house in London – it’s the perfect blend of fun and frightening. Every cobweb is artfully placed, and every creaky floorboard is meticulously tuned. He’s not scary, exactly – more... invested. With polished bones, a booming voice, and an encyclopaedic knowledge of ghost stories, Bob believes in atmosphere over actual terror. (“Jump scares? Dreadfully uncouth.”) Visitors are gently spooked, thoroughly impressed, and often leave with a complimentary cobweb. Bob insists they’re authentic – don’t ask where he gets them!
Spookipaws Cat is terrifyingly lucky. Black fur, midnight tail, sharp little stare? She’s the good omen of all good omens! For Spookipaws, vending machines double-drop. Every flight she has a spare seat next to her. Her umbrella? Never lost. Her toast? Always lands butter-side up. At Halloween, her luck goes into overdrive. Full-size chocolate bars. Never a single raisin. Even Timmy Turtle agreed to wear a costume once. “A moment of madness,” he muttered. She just winked. Stick close. You might catch a little of the magic.
Bartholomew Bear Spider has no plans to stand against the wall all night – not when there are Halloween parties to attend, and certainly not in a costume this fabulous. With eight extra legs (plus two of his own), Bartholomew soon discovered a new world of dance possibilities. His current favorite? The “Spider-Strut”. In fact, he was so excited to show off his moves, he even forgot he was a bit afraid of the dark... for a while! Fancy dress, dancing, and sweet treats. Of course Bartholomew loves Halloween!
Brooke Otter is a mudlark by passion and profession (self-declared). While her pals perfect their backstroke, she’s scavenging the banks of the Thames, bright eyes gleaming at the prospect of finding new trinkets and treasures. Some say she’s an optimist. Brooke prefers “long-term investor” – those rusty bottle caps? Future fortune. (Just you wait!) Mudlarking is even better with friends. Brooke loves to share her finds with Nippit Beaver – although his enthusiasm for dented teaspoons is, at best, polite…
