The Halloween Carnival Planner + Free October Bucket List

October is officially my excuse to make absolutely everything a little spookier. The planner? Spooky. The to-do list? Spooky. Tracking my sleep? Apparently also spooky. I created an entire Halloween Carnival Planner filled with ghosts, pumpkins, carnival tickets, games, creepy-cute details, and plenty of room for everything happening during the busiest and most fun month of fall.

If you love Halloween but still need your planner to actually be useful, this one is for you. Because everyone deserves a little Halloween fun, I also made a free printable October Bucket List you can download and use even if you don’t have the full planner.

Welcome to the Halloween Carnival

I didn’t want this planner to feel like a regular planner with a few pumpkins stuck in the corners. The whole thing was designed around a bright, playful Halloween Carnival, with vintage-inspired tickets, ghosts, pumpkins, stars, carnival signs, little games and plenty of spooky details. Think Halloween night meets an old-fashioned carnival, but cute instead of terrifying. It’s colorful, a little quirky and very much designed for those of us who need our planners to make us actually want to open them. Because plain beige productivity pages were never going to survive around here.

A Halloween Planner That’s Actually Useful

As much as I love making things cute, I still want my planner to help me keep track of real life. The Halloween Carnival Planner includes pages for planning your month, weeks and days along with some much more entertaining ways to track everything happening in October. Inside you’ll find pages like:

• Monthly planning and goals
• Weekly layouts
• Daily planning pages
• Habit and mood tracking
• Brain dump and notes pages
• October activities
• Puzzles and little Halloween surprises
• Printable planner stickers
• And my personal favorite, the Sleep Like the Dead Sleep Tracker

Yes, I created an entire Halloween themed sleep tracker because I loved the idea of Sleeping Like the Dead tracker. Instead of turning October into one giant list of things I should be doing, I wanted this planner to feel more like a place to collect the month. The plans. The traditions. The random ideas. The fun stuff. And yes, all those appointments and responsibilities that stubbornly refuse to disappear just because it’s spooky season.

Make October Feel Like October Again

One of the reasons I love seasonal planners is that months can go ridiculously fast. I want to celebrate any way I can and my planner is a perfect place to do that.

Suddenly it’s October 3rd. Then you blink. And somehow everyone is putting up Christmas trees. A seasonal planner gives me a place to notice the month while I’m actually living in it. Not just appointments and deadlines, but the things I wanted to watch, make, read, try and remember. That’s really what the Halloween Carnival Planner is about.

It’s still a planner. But it’s also permission to make October a little more fun.

Printable or Digital?

I created the Halloween Carnival Planner so you can choose the version that fits the way you actually plan. If you’re a paper planner person, grab the printable version, print your pages and put together your own Halloween planner. Prefer planning on your iPad? There’s a digital planner version so you can take the Halloween Carnival with you without using a drop of printer ink.

Just the Inserts

If you have been getting the PS Planner Zine you will get a chance to try out these great planner pages and may just want those to use again and again.

Planner Stickers for Planners & Calendars

I also have a full set of planner stickers that I created for your own planner or calendar in this fun theme. Because ghosts belong on calendars. I don’t make the rules. Ready to Enter the Halloween Carnival? If October is your favorite month, your planner should probably look like it. These stickers can be printed and cut out quick.
