If you or a family member has been champing at the bit to celebrate Halloween, we've discovered a novelty item that may bring you relief. It goes by the name of a Halloween Advent calendar, and yes, it's made for Halloween, not Christmas. The calendar counts down the days from Oct. 1 to Oct. 31 in creepy style, so while you may not be able to start the haunted party right away, you can begin the celebration 31 days in advance. Each Advent calendar has its own unique look that ranges from cardboard to wood to felt calendars and more, and is complete with hidden windows, drawers, and boxes throughout. Each day of the countdown will hold a creepy new surprise, making Halloween feel much longer than a single day. Ensure your whole October is as chilling as Halloween itself with the ghostly calendars that lie ahead.
