Customer Reviews

Great book

This book has wonderful ideas, someyou will see elsewhere but plenty of fresh new ideas. Recipes, crafts, ideas all in one book. I loved getting this book!

A FUN book that gets you in the mood for Hallowe'en!

I love this book! The craft projects are beautiful, functional, and diverse, presented beautifully with great photography and art production value. Notes and articles about various aspects of Hallowe'en are interspersed throughout, making this resource much more than just a how-to book. It's a joy to look at, whether you're in the mood to read, create, or just look at great seasonal photos and illustrations.

Nice easy projects for fall decorating.

Nicely written and illustrated with color photos of virually all projects. Projects are not too complicated, but more decorative than scary. More fall oriented than strictly Halloween. I prefer Martha Stewarts book; it was smilar but more original.

Great Ideas

Finally! A book that shows you how to make realistic-looking tombstones. (And not just a piece of grey-painted plywood either!) A lot of great ideas for the crafty, and not so crafty, person. Tasty party recipies are given, too. All projects have colored photgraphs included.

Very good resource for all aspects of Halloween entertaining

This book has lots of great craft ideas for decorating for Halloween, as well as fun recipes for party food. Costume ideas were lame. Section on Halloween collectibles was superfulous. Ghost stories and folklore were an added bonus. A good resource for Halloween revelers.
