5.  Lay a dragon egg

Now, if you really wanted to add a touch of Game of Thrones to your Halloween party you’d slaughter all your guests – but that’s illegal.

Instead, channel your anger into pushing a bunch of pins into a styrofoam egg. Congratulations, you’re basically the Mother of Dragons.

6. Bake a Ned Stark cake pop

Too soon?

10. Carve a Pennywise pumpkin

Stephen King’s creepy clown is one of the most terrifying villains ever created. He should definitely be invited to your Halloween party.

11. Make (and then eat) some Frankenstein marshmallow pops

Bonus: if this recipe goes tits up then you’re just staying true to the spirit of Mary Shelley’s book.
