Halloween · Friendly spooky stories
Create a personalised Halloween storybook for your child
Make your child the hero of a magical, illustrated Halloween adventure that is personalised by name, ready tonight, and just spooky enough for bedtime.
Their name. Their character. Their adventure.
A Halloween story with your child as the hero
Halloween in Australia is made for costumes, neighbourhood fun, school dress-ups and a little make-believe. StoryMate turns that excitement into a personalised Halloween storybook for kids, starring your child by name as the brave hero.
They can tiptoe past glowing pumpkins, meet a helpful black cat and discover that the mysterious sound near the cubby house is not scary after all.
“When [Name] put on their Halloween costume, the moon over the garden gave a silver wink, and a tiny pumpkin lantern rolled gently to their feet.”
