Morrisons 2026

I popped into my local Morrisons yesterday evening, not expecting much, other than the usual inexpensive party decorations, confectionery and costumes. In the very small homeware section there were some candles and felt pumpkin decorations.

The wine aisle pleasingly is stocking the Universal Monsters design of the 18 Crimes brand of wines - although I only saw the Frankenstein design.

As for the main display, I'm not keen on any of the cute-sy designs, but the store did have a variety of  LED lights which seemed a better selection that the other main supermarkets.

Universal Monsters Wine

The 19 Crimes brand has put out 3 glow-in-the-dark designs for Halloween - 2 red wines and 1 white. The wines are available in the major UK supermarkets; although the Mummy design, I believe, is exclusive to Tesco. The bottles are priced about £10 although I have seen some loyalty card discounts bring the princing down to £7.50 per bottle. All are very drinkable!

Morrisons 2025

I visited the Folkestone store last Saturday to see what this year's offering is. Lots of the normal decorations which 20 or 30 years ago I would've wanted. However this year there was nothng that held my attention. There were some bowls at the end of the aisle and a pumpkin-shaped salt and pepper cruet set. But how many cruet sets does one need when one's been collecting for a few decades! There are some nice hanging decorations and this year I noticed some matching Nightmare Before Christmas pyjamas for men, women and kids. (Most of the major supermarkets seem to have been selling Nb4C nighties and pjs for a few years now.) It's just a shame Morrisons no longer has it's Halloween bottled beers and a themed Autumn/Halloween Beer section.

Morrisons leads the way

The local Morrisons store in Folkestone is the first of the local supermarkets to get their Halloween decorations on display. Ususal fare, nothing unusual for collectors though.

Morrisons Glass Tumblers

For only £1 each these are new in Morrisons and some designs seem to be flying off the shelves.

Morrisons Halloween 2023

The Folkestone store has its display out for this year. Nothing to buy for me. Recently there have been some interesting masks and also games for sale, but it was a noticably smaller display this year. The childrens' torches were quite well designed though, and the plastic goats skull was beter than most similar props that I have seen.

Morrisons Spooky & Spicy Cheese

A different variety than was sold last year, this year is a Scotch Bonnet & Red Leicester cheese, but still in a nice wax coating shaped as a pumpkin.

Morrisons 2022

The local Morrisons in Folkestone have put out their decorations for halloween. Again nothing special for the collector, and the adult masks were a bit disappointing this year compared to the last couple of years, but there's plenty of inexpensive decorations and partyware. It's a shame they haven't got any halloween themed beers on sale like in previous years... but here's hoping that might come over the next few weeks.

Morrisons Cheesy Halloween 2021

I'm looking forward to eating this, which I found in my local Morrisons store yesterday - Pumpkin Spice Wensleydale Cheese.

Morrisons Halloween 2021

Morrisons in Folkestone has now stocked up their half an aisle of halloween goodies - a few chldrens costumes and partyware beofre moving on to the sweets and treats. There were a few empty spaces, and I don't know whether that was for stock not yet arrived or stock that had already sold out. Either way there was nothing I was particularly after. Morrisons is some times different in that it produced halloween party games for children's parties, but this year all I could find was the 'Pin the Hat on the Witch' and they did not appear to have the Jenga style game with all the blocks made in the shape of bones. Disappointlingly though Morriosons has always been better than most supermarkets for their selection of ale and often has a selection of autumn ales that are themed around halloween with names incorpoarting e.g. the witch in their title. For the last 2-3 years though these beers have been notable in their absence sadly.

Morrisons 2020

Well the supermarkets are starting to get in a somewhat limited range for Halloween, which may or may not be such a big event this year due to COVID. The local Morrisons in Folkestone has made a bit more of an effort than other shops, but it is basically the usual fare. They do have the games like thay had last year, e.g. skeleton bone 'Jenga' and a skittles game. And the bird mask was probably the best mask on offer.

More from Morrisons 2019

Well my first visit to Morrisons yields little results apart from the selling of the white 'ghost' pumpkins, but my second trip was a bit more fruitful. Alas there were no themed beers in their Autumn beer festival display... however...

In the Christmas gifts aisle was a devil's head glass bottle of 'Hotter Than Hell' chilli sauce.

And in the normal Halloween aisle, at least Morrisons have tried something different by selling Halloween party games designed for children's parties. So one can play Jenga with skeleton bones, throw the hoop over witches hats, play a guess who game, knock down Halloween designed cans or throw pumpkin fuzzy balls to be caught by someone with a velcro hat!

A Tale of Two Supermarkets

The local Asda and Sainsburys supermarkets put out their Halloween fare this last week... but having got a somewhat sizeable collection of quality decorations I didn't feel tempted and there wasn't anything too exceptional that tempted me to make a purchase.

However, I did notice the difference in quality and presentation this year. I always had favoured Asda in their commitment to having a scary Halloween themed aisle and along with the kids costumes there was always some unusual yet reasonably priced bits and bobs, but I got the feeling this year that they weren't trying as much as in previous years.

Whereas the in-town, small Sainsburys had its aisle visible when you first walk in the store, and although having fairly similar costumes and sweets at least their designs and items had more of a seasonal feel and where more enticing than the sterility of Asda.

Morrisons hadn't put decorations out when I visited, however they did have the white pumpkins in stock again this year. But their 'beer festival' seemed sadly devoid of Halloween themed beers.

Butternut Squash pasta

It's worth heading to your nearest Morrisons and picking up some butternut squash and sage pasta from their chilled cabinets. A new addition this year for Morrisons, supermarkets such as Waitrose have sold something similar for a few years now... however the Morrisons product tastes better in my opinion and doesn't break open losing its filling when boiled like the Waitrose one often does.

Morrisons Halloween 2018 - update

Sadly still no Halloween beer... however if you want a white Ghost Pumpkin, this is the only supermarket so far where i have seen them.

Morrisons Halloween 2018

Well I don't expect too much from Morrisons; they stock much of the standard disposable stuff needed for parties - but in recent years Morrisons have excelled in having a beer festival with lots of Halloween themed beer with great designs on the bottles.

This year they have their beer festival, but not the themed Halloween beer, apart from a couple of the Wychwood brewery beers which are commonly available anyway.

Oh well, better luck next year...

Halloween Beer - Part 8

I was in a Morrisons in another town today and picked up a further 3 bottles of themed beer: Devil's Backbone, I've had on tap in Wetherspoons before, and Old Spooky Hen is just Old Speckled Hen with a plastic wrap design, however I don't believe I've tried Oakham Ales Green Devil before.

Halloween Beer - Part 7

Again Morrisons comes up trumps for Halloween themed beer and at discounted prices too. They have the usual Pumpking Ale and Black Witch from the Wychwood brewery, but this year they have 4 different beers I haven't seen before: Black Sheep Brewery's Reaper, Shipyard Brewery's Little Horror of Hops, Robinson Brewery's Iron Maiden themed Hallowed, and Greene King's Gangly Ghoul.

Haven't tried any of them yet but bought a couple of bootles of each and holding out until nearer Halloween.

Morrisons, where's the beer?

I've been holding off putting up pictures of Morrisons Halloween decorations and goodies this year until they got stock in of a Halloween beer they are advertising in-store and on their website. 'Pumpkin King' appears to be flavoured with actual pumpkin and I was looking forward to tasting some, however the Folkestone store doesn't seem to be selling it.

Other than that the decorations are much of a muchness with the other leading supermarket chains with nothing really outstanding for the collector, but plenty for kids parties.
