Halloween is coming! Despite having ignored it completely on the blog so far this year, I do know it’s creeping up on us! I thought I’d bring you a fun and super quick way to bring Halloween into your home… and your fridge. I hope you’ll find this as funny as me- I crack up at these things. A couple years ago, I gave our carton of eggs a little makeover and not only did it give me a good laugh, but my hubby and our then-roomate. But this isn’t just your eggs… this is your whole fridge. It’s a fun surprise for anyone that goes to grab a drink. Why? Well, other than it being crazy funny, if you’re having a Halloween get together, this will be an unexpected way to delight your guests. Yes, I said delight.
Are you the only person that uses your fridge? Spookify a friends as a surprise! Imagine coming home tho THIS when you reach for the ketchup. I’m just saying, it would bring a smile to my face.
Ok, so you’re sold (obviously). Here’s what you need to make it happen:
- Googly eyes in assorted sizes
- Card Stock/ Thick Paper
- Black Marker
- Scissors
- Double sided tape
This is pretty straight-forward. Write some clever phrases in some speech bubbles (feel free to use mine- I know, they’re clever). Then attach those and the eyes to your refrigerated items using double sided tape. BUT keep in mind condensation and sticky tape don’t mix. I did this right after grocery shopping so some of the containers weren’t cold yet. Some things that work good every time? Soda cans, egg cartons, and paper labels. Some things that don’t work good? Cold glass, or milk cartons. Ta-da! Spooky Fridge.
I might make this a yearly tradition… a week or two before Halloween, our fridge gets spooky. I think that would be a fun surprise for our kiddos as they grow! Would you try this out? Who’s fridge would you spook? Maybe your work lunchroom? I’d love to hear if you have any pre-Halloween traditions in your house!
PS. Did you totally creep out what was in my fridge? If you posted the contents of your fridge, I’d totally judge what was in there.

I love this idea! It reminds me of this website, http://vandaleyes.net/
I’d totally do it to a work lunchroom, if I had one, haha. ;)
WHAAT! That is SO cool! I may/maynot have wasted a bit much time looking through that.
I’m SO doing this. My husband and I write little love notes on things we put in the fridge and I can’t wait to see his face with these everywhere. Loving it, Colleen. Pinning
Haha thanks Sarah, I’d love to see it when you do! I love cheesy things like this so send any ideas my way :)
My version of this awesome idea will be up on Monday’s recap of Halloween. I am still in love with this idea, Colleen!
Ahh I love it Sarah!! I’m so glad you liked it :)
This just made me laugh so hard! I want to take some in my pocket next time I go to a friend’s house to sneak and do this.
Yay! I’m so glad you found it funny, I hope you do! That would be so funny to wait for them to discover it :)
Wow your fridge is clean!!
Haha, Shane cleaned it last week so I jumped on cluttering it up with googly eyes and such.
This is such a cute idea! I’m sharing this with my readers. :)

OMG, I’m totally doing this. I knew I needed something at Hobby Lobby. It must be googly eyes. I’m visiting from Take a Look Tuesday.
