This one has it all and what I especially like:
1. The suggestions are not "tacky" but look like you spent a lot of time and effort to pull off ideas which will definitely get "oohs" and "aahs" from friends and neighbors as well as CHILDREN, who will find the ideas magical and just spooky enough to add excitment.
2. The carving tips are among the best I've ever read and will help you produce detailed looks without requiring professional artistic skills. EASY TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS.
3. A Costume section with very original ideas.
4. And, of course, what would Halloween be without the usual
party ideas? Follow the guidelines and ideas in this book and I guarantee your guests won't have a moment of boredom - They'll be delighted by the decorations, the Jack-o-lantern Pinata and the treats (which, again, are a bit on the eerie side, but not too terrifying)From invitations to such refreshments as Snake pizzas, easy Witch, cat and bat cookies and special hot chocolate with floating "ghosts', your party is sure to be a delight! And very, very EASY to pull together, a plus for those with limited time!
By the way, there is a special section for CHILDREN'S PARTIES and another section for ADULT PARTIES, with more grown-up fare but plenty of holiday atmosphere. Hey, who says Halloween is JUST for kids?
5. Life size (or nearly life size) patterns, making crafts extremely easy to follow.
I psrticularly liked the way the author of this book found ways to use household materials, from old bikes to rakes, tin cans, old greeting cards, etc. to come up with creative Halloween decor.
