Christmas has advent calendars for everything, from toddler toys to wine or whiskey for adults to LEGOs for pop culture enthusiasts. Now, spooky season fans can get in on all the fun with advent calendars made just for Halloween!

All your favorite horror movies are represented, along with some more family-friendly classics like The Nightmare Before Christmas and Hocus Pocus. There are also some spooky staples like haunted houses, Ouija boards, and even a few so the furry friends in your family don’t feel left out!
