31 Days of Halloween: Bedding Looks for the Ultimate Scare-Season Movie-Marathon 🍂🍁🧡🎃☕
We’ve all been there — cuddled up in our blankets, TV turned on, ready to watch our favourite Netflix movie. But something just didn't feel right. You lit a candle, even ordered some food, but the vibes were not complete. You started scrolling on your phone and wondered — how can I get the vibes just right? Have you ever thought about changing up your atmosphere? Perhaps your bedding? This post will help elevate your room into the perfect, Halloween-ready, movie marathon escape!
Let’s get hyped for Halloween!
The Nightmare Before Christmas: Doom & Gloom
The Nightmare before Christmas follows the trials and tribulations of Jack Skellington, the pumpkin king, who grows tired of scaring people in the ‘real world’. It’s dark, gloomy and full of Halloween horror (well - sort of). It ’s dominated by colors of dark blue, black and pops of orange from scary pumpkins and a yellow-white hue from the glowing moon. If you love pumpkins, skeletons and all things gloom, turn your room into your own Halloween movie with these colors! Explore Ever Lasting's dark, cozy Halloween bedding to recreate this vibe for your horror movie marathon!
Dark colors bring all the Halloween vibes for many reasons.
- Lack of visual cues: When our atmosphere is darker, our sense of sight is reduced, which creates ambiguity, increasing your sense of mystery and Halloween vibes!
- Universal Symbolism: Darkness is a worldwide indicator for the unknown. Black, and even hues of dark blue, have always represented what is hidden.
- Setting a Tone: Dark colors have been strategically used in various designs and in media. Horror movies, gothic literature and much more. It sets a suspenseful tone!
And there you go. You’re all set to turn your room into a Tim Burton film! If you love horror, check out these moody Halloween bedding ideas!

Halloweentown: Pops of Orange
Halloweentown was the movie that made kids around the world believe that Halloween was cool! Imagine getting a surprise visit from your grandma and discovering you come from a long line of witches…and you’ve got powers. Who doesn’t love that?
Halloweentown is the only place where other-worldly beings can have a regular life just like you and me. Step into your own version of Halloweentown with pops of orange, yellows, and reds!
Here’s why it works so well:
- Emotional Response: The combination of orange, red and yellow, can inspire feelings of excitement, an internal sense of warmth, and cheerfulness for the Halloween season. Get into the Halloween mood with these hues.
- Symbolism: the fall & Halloween season is one we all anticipate all year round. The warmth of these colors, enhances the energy of the season, providing strong contrasts to the doom and gloom of dark colors. Light up a candle and order a pizza to help spice up the Halloween vibes.
- Connection: These friendly Halloween colors help us all feel more connected with each other and the world around us. They stimulate social interaction and encourage a welcoming ambience in our space.
