Get Your Spook On With 15 Halloween Accessories

After the hot muddiness of summer, the promise of autumnal activities is motivational music to my ears, and that includes shopping for Halloween accessories. The high jinks of the holiday, with its spooky soirees, Halloween-inspired jewelry, and gruesome yet scarily delicious cocktails, are fall's creepy creme de la creme, after all.

My love of Halloween probably stems from the knowledge that it's the perfect opportunity to release my inner child and reinvent myself as one of my favorite comic book characters. From Tim Burton's Corpse Bride to The Suicide Squad's Harley Quinn and even X-Men's Rogue, the chance to don a cartoon-themed costume and take on a whole new creepy personality to match makes my miniature self jump up and down with glee.

Unfortunately, back in the real world of suitable office attire and stuffy subway trains, there aren't quite as many opportunities to flaunt full-on ghoulish garb. Fear not, my fright-night favoring, horror film harboring, Halloween babes: There are plenty of ways to give a nod to your freakish favorite time of year. Welcome to my devilishly delectable collection of Halloween inspired accessories. These 15 pieces can be worn all year, of course, but will especially come in handy as you slip into character come October.
