Halloween Resources and Books

As the nights grow longer and Halloween creeps closer, we’ve put together a collection of fun and spooky resources to help you celebrate with your pupils. Our range of Halloween-themed freebies includes word searches, crosswords, colouring sheets, and even masks. All these resources are completely free—simply add them to your cart, check out at no cost, and you’ll receive download links for as many copies as you need.

In addition to these festive activities, we have some wonderfully spooky stories perfect for Halloween or for those students who love a good scare on gloomy autumn days. First up is the Boo Books series—six short, thrilling stories designed just right for early readers. Titles in this pack include The Haunted Backpack, Night of the Digging Dog, Attack of the Cute, Campfire Vampire, Witch’s Stew, and Scare Ball. You can purchase all six books together at a discounted price of £25.00.

When it comes to spooky books for Halloween, it’s hard to beat Goosebumps—the horror classics by R.L. Stine that have thrilled generations of young readers. If you’re looking for the perfect Halloween read for horror-loving kids, the Goosebumps Horrorland Collection is a must-have. This collection features 10 of Stine's most gripping novels, all available for just £20 in our Clearance sale. But don’t wait too long—Goosebumps Horrorland is only available while stocks last!

We’d also like to highlight a standout title from our BookLife Publishing team: Something Wicked This Way Rolls, part of the BookLife Freedom Readers Collection 2. This chilling tale draws inspiration from children’s horror classics and is set at the seemingly ordinary Redmont High. But when Johnny starts playing his new board game, reality begins to shift in unsettling ways. Is it all just in his head, or is something darker at play? This story is perfect for brave readers aged 10-12 and is included in our Freedom Readers pack, which offers nine stories spanning various genres—from action and adventure to fantasy, comedy, and, of course, horror.

For independent readers ready for more complex tales, the Freedom Readers collection is a great choice.
