Bullet Journal Ideas for Halloween

Do you celebrate Halloween? While Halloween isn't celebrated widely in Australia, it's the perfect time of year to enjoy your favourite spooky movies, books, treats and also a perfect excuse to decorate your journal with Halloween themed washi tapes, stickers and page spreads! Whether you love the spooky season or just want to explore your dark side, these Halloween-inspired bullet journal ideas and prompts will help you get into the spooky spirit while staying productive.

Bullet Journal Ideas for Halloween

1. Halloween-Themed Cover Page

Start the month with a bold and spooky cover page! October is the perfect month to experiment with creepy designs like haunted houses, pumpkin carvings, vampires, bats, or witches. Experiment with different colour palettes, black paper with white and silver pens or create a theme based around your favourite scary movie or book! 

Tip: Try adding glow-in-the-dark stickers or metallic markers for an extra eerie vibe!

2. Halloween Countdown Tracker

Build up the excitement by creating a countdown tracker for Halloween. This could be as simple as a calendar grid with creepy icons like pumpkins, ghosts, or candy to represent each day. Colour them in as the days go by!

Tip: Why not make your countdown tracker a Halloween advent calendar with a little spooky treat for each day? 

3. Spooky Movie Marathon List

Halloween isn’t complete without a solid horror movie marathon. Create a spread to track and rate all of the Halloween movies you plan to watch—whether it’s old-school horror, family-friendly classics, or new releases. Add checkboxes to mark off each film as you complete your watch list.

Movie Ideas:

  • Hocus Pocus
  • The Addams Family
  • Beetlejuice
  • Halloween (of course!)

4. October Mood Tracker (Halloween Edition)

Why not give your mood tracker a seasonal spin? Create a spooky mood tracker shelf of potion bottles. Each design can represent a different mood—draw one for each day of the month, colouring them in based on how you felt. 

OR why not try a design of ghost or pumpkin outlines and draw a face each day to represent your mood.

5. Daily Gratitude with a Spooky Twist

Keep up with your gratitude practice but give it a Halloween makeover. For each day of October, list something creepy that you're grateful for! This activity is a fun way to get you thinking outside of the box and gain an appreciation for some of the spooky sides to life. 

Tip: Could this be a good way to get over your fear of spiders or snakes?

6. Halloween Habit Tracker

Want to keep track of your October goals and habits while getting into the Halloween spirit? Create a habit tracker shaped like a haunted house or a witch’s broomstick. Each habit could be tracked by adding windows to your haunted house or colouring a section of your broomstick. 

7. Candy Rating Page

Rate your favourite chocolate bars, lollies and sweet treats! It's fun to indulge in sweet treats around Halloween. Rate your spooky movie snacks and fave chocolates and lollies. This could be your opportunity to try new brands and treats or to rate and compare your faves! 

8. Spooky Reading List

If you're a book lover, create a Halloween-themed reading list filled with horror, mystery, or supernatural books. Track your progress through each book by colouring in a creepy themed bookshelf with your reading list. Include skulls, black cats and potions on your shelf. OR use tombstones for your book headings. 

Book Suggestions:

  • Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
  • The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
  • Dracula by Bram Stoker
  • The Shining by Stephen King

9. Pumpkin Carving Ideas

Dedicate a page to brainstorming pumpkin carving designs. You can sketch different ideas, from classic jack-o'-lantern faces to more intricate designs. This is a fun doodling activity to try out different pumpkin themed doodles in your bujo.

10. Halloween Doodle Page

Practice your drawing skills by dedicating a page to Halloween doodles. Sketch pumpkins, ghosts, black cats, witches’ hats, and more. It’s a fun way to get creative and relax while enhancing the overall spooky vibe of your journal.

11. Witchy Self-Care Rituals

Create a Halloween self-care bucket list inspired by witchy or mystical themes. Include soothing rituals like taking a lavender bath, journaling by candlelight, or sipping herbal tea. Decorate the page with crystals, moon phases, or tarot card doodles.

12. Tarot Card of the Day

This is your sign to try out tarot cards, if you haven't already! Learn the art of tarot reading by creating a daily or weekly spread where you draw a tarot card and record its meaning. Add notes about how it might apply to your life at the moment or decorate the page with tarot-inspired symbols.

13. Nightmare Tracker

If you’re into dream journaling, create a nightmare tracker for October. Jot down any spooky dreams or nightmares you have during the month and analyse any recurring themes or images that show up.

14. Full Moon Ritual Planner

Dedicate a page to a full moon ritual for October. Manifest your goals for the October full moon and read up on this months moon astrology meanings. 

Tip: The October full moon on the 17th of October is a super moon. The October full moon is in Aries, which brings us drive and confidence and inspires us to follow our life's purpose. You may feel an urge to act on your impulses, however it's important to take time before making decisions. This moon occurs opposite a sun in Libra, which could also cause some tension between being assertive (Aries energy) and creating compromise (Libra). Make decisions with care, but trust your gut.
