October 2024 Bullet Journal Setup | Spooky Vibes & Autumn Intentions
October is here—and with it comes saturated color, spooky accents, and rich autumn inspiration in my latest bullet journal setup. In this month’s walkthrough, I’m sharing every page, from a bold Halloween cover to cozy, intention-filled spreads that help me slow down and enjoy the season.

What’s Inside the Page Reveal Video:
October Cover Page:
A moody, saturated cover that sets the Halloween tone for the month. It’s bold, colorful, and just spooky enough.
Table of Contents (TOC):
My signature intro spread includes:
- A magazine collage filled with fall scenery
- Space for my October bucket list
- A quote or seasonal phrase to set the mood
Monthly Calendar:
Simple and functional for keeping track of appointments—with a touch of Halloween flair thanks to a hand-drawn cobweb and spider in the margins.
Weekly Spreads:
This is where I spend most of my journaling time. I use “peek-a-boo” collage windows (magazine clippings attached with washi tape) that lift to reveal extra space underneath.
I also share a tip: layering a light sticker over a dark background works great—especially with ghost stickers!
Feature Spreads:
- Halloween Spread: A nod to my original 2020 Halloween layout—now recreated in a simplified version with hand-drawn icons and cobweb doodles.
- Autumn Vibes Spread: A warm, reflective layout to capture offline intentions, cozy goals, and the seasonal moments I want to photograph and remember.
Final Flip-Through:
I close with a full flip-through of all my pages and an invitation to Journal Along with Me—a behind-the-scenes journaling experience with exclusive content, page reveals, and monthly prompts.
Whether you’re here for Halloween fun, seasonal aesthetic, or journaling ideas to help you be more present this fall, I hope this October setup gives you something to try in your own journal.
