Unlike Christmas advent calendars, which run for 24 days, most Halloween advent calendars count down the last 13 days of October leading up to Halloween itself. So, there's still plenty of time to buy one for your child. Why 13? Well, that's because 13 is an unlucky number... well, unless its related to advent calendars.

So, if you're wondering how to keep track of how long's left until Halloween, here are our favourite Halloween advent calendar picks.
