Even though Halloween (and Trick or Treat) is not a celebrated event in South Africa, the theme is famous worldwide and even has a movie dedicated to it.
Halloween is always celebrated on the last day of October and, according to Britannica, marks the day before the Western Christian feast of All Saints and initiates the season of Allhallowtide, which lasts three days and concludes with All Souls' Day.
From Jason Voorhees to Freddy Krueger and Michael Myers, some still dress up to (playfully) match the on-screen murderous characters. Watching the creepiest movies at night is also a theme some pursue. The price of pumpkins (or vegetables in general) is becoming expensive, so there won't be any carving into them.
Whether you celebrate Halloween or not, Gumtree has put together a list of some scary-looking gaming and smartphone holders to fit the spooky theme:

Whether you celebrate Halloween or not, Gumtree has put together a list of some scary-looking gaming and smartphone holders to fit the spooky theme:
Pennywise the Clown Cable Guy
There's nothing scarier than a killer clown. Perhaps the most infamous of them all is Pennywise the Clown and his signature red balloon, luring victims to their unfortunate fate. If you want a piece of the IT movie legacy and are into electronic gadgets, the IT 2 plastic figurine holds your smartphone or gaming controller.
Gremlins Cable Guy
Where the entire world loved their Furby dolls, the movie Gremlins showed what happened when water was poured over them. The result was scaly-looking creatures that caused the world of mischief and left destruction in its wake. The Cable Guy version has the potential to scare off small children - thankfully, this one is plastic and stays in one place.
Deadpool Zombie Cable Guy
Even though Deadpool is more of a comical action hero, there is a more sinister-looking zombie version that fits the bill for being scary. The Deadpool Zombie has its face looking all messed up compared to the normal-looking masked one.
The Cable Guys collection is available at popular (gaming) outlets like BT Games, Koodoo, and Takealot. Pricing starts from R380, depending on the size, and can accommodate most gaming controllers and smartphones.
