10 terrifying Shakespeare-inspired Halloween gifts
From an evening of ghost stories to plague rat puppets – we’ve put together a selection of treats (or tricks!) to mark the spooky season

Shakespeare and Fear tickets
Settle down on your sofas and hide behind a cushion with tickets to our second digital festival, Shakespeare and Fear, opening on Halloween. If you dare, watch a selection of three spine-tingling ghost stories in Deep Night Dark Night on 31 October 2020. You can also catch our 2018 Macbeth company, including Michelle Terry and Paul Ready, perform a staged-reading of Shakespeare’s supernatural tragedy in the flickering candlelight of our Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.


Prop Skull
The perfect Halloween decoration, or even a great gift idea for Gothic fans. Our prop skulls are life-size and hand painted, and made from herculite plaster.

Plague Rat Hand Puppet
A plague o’ both your houses!
Create hours of fun with our cheeky rat hand puppet pals. Perfect for adults and children, they have movable mouths and paws, and come in black or grey.

The Witch by Ronald Hutton
There’s nothing better than settling down to a good book in autumn – wrap yourself in a blanket and cosy on up in an armchair for an evening exploring the fear of witchcraft. Ronald Hutton’s The Witch traces witchcraft from the ancient world to the early-modern stake.

Macbeth Pocket Notebad
Write your own spooky stories to terrify your family and friends in our Macbeth themed notepad. Will you be the next Edgar Allan Poe?

Macbeth Quill Brooch
Something wicked this way comes…
