Oct 26 2009 By Anuji Varma

THE ghouls and the zombies are about to descend on Birmingham – yep it’s Halloween on Saturday.

And if you’re thinking of throwing the ultimate horror bash then we’ve selected a few must have accessories which your party really shouldn’t be without.

Once again Matalan has come up with some super scary products including puppets and props that will have your guests shivering with fear.

* Pumpkin bag (£3.50) from Marks and Spencer.

Perfect for stashing all those treats that you get as you work your way around the neighbourhood.

* Talking hand puppet (£10) from Matalan.

The children will love this little monster. And it’s a real bargain, too.

* Batwings set (£5) from Marks and Spencer.

Any little one will look great with these batwings. Just add them on and they’re sure to scare a few people into handing over a few treats.

* Electric light-up pumpkin (£60) from Matalan.

It’s not just a pumpkin which lights up - the eyes actually rotate too. This would look great in the corner when the party’s in full swing. You could also stick in the window too.
