All Hallows Eve - Halloween!by rms

All Hallows Eve 

Spooks and goblins and ghosts! The term Halloween, and its older spelling Hallowe'en, is shortened from All-hallow-even, as it is the evening before "All Hallows Day". In Ireland, the name was All Hallows Eve. The night disembodied spirits of all those who had died throughout the preceding year would come back in search of living bodies to possess for the next year. It was believed to be their only hope for the afterlife. The Celts believed all laws of space and time were suspended during this time, allowing the spirit world to intermingle with the living.

All Hallows' Eve: 13 Stories

by Vivian Vande Velde

From School Library Journal
Grade 6 Up-A collection of 13 stories that will thrill and chill readers. Each tale takes place on Halloween, and some stories are variations on familiar tales. Many are set in upstate New York, which lends a nice Ichabod Crane feel to the book. Well crafted, these spine-tingling selections rely on gotcha moments and old-fashioned suspense rather than gross-out horror. While all of them are enjoyable and worth mulling over, several stand out: in the creepy Morgan Roehmar's Boys, a girl acting the part of a knifing victim during a haunted hayride comes face to face with a long-dead child murderer. Pretending describes a first date gone horribly wrong. MARIAN features a teen driver who finds himself at the mercy of his car, and the horrifying My Real Mother describes an adopted teen who searches for her blood (and, as it turns out, blood-sucking) mother, while leaving behind a gruesome mess at her adoptive parents' home. The writing is crisp and concise and truly packs a punch. Fans of horror fiction and suspense will not be disappointed.-Elaine Baran Black, Gwinnett County Public Library, Lawrenceville, GA

American Hauntings
Your home for things that go bump in the night. With Halloween on the way, there is always the thirst for stories that keep you looking behind you. Did those footsteps you heard belong to a member of the living? Sit Back, turn off your lights and read on as I send you to some of the most haunted place in America.

Make Your Own Fairy Wings
The most essential thing to any fairy outfit, costume or persona is a pair of wings. They can be large, small, simple, elaborate, plain, glittery, sheer, feathers, scales or skin. Fairy wings are good for costume parties, conventions, gatherings, festivals, Halloween, stage plays, happenings and rainy days.

Mask Making
I love masks. I don't know why but I didn't get started with mask-making until I was in college at UCSC, where I took a class. I'm going to talk about ways you can make masks and I'll show examples of my own creations. I'll talk about what techniques I used and how well I thought they worked.

Sexy Halloween Costumes
That exciting dress up time called Halloween is upon us. What will you be for Halloween this year? Sexy or scary? Forget ugly monsters and scary witches, this year women are celebrating Halloween by showing more skin than scare.

Spookiest Halloween
Halloween... A magical night with flying witches, monsters, bad fairies, skeletons, mummies, bats, and most of all, SWEETS... so spooky and tasty, at the same time. It's the most expected holiday of the year. Therefore, everyone tries to celebrate it in the most scary way. Halloween parties everywhere, people strangely dressed, haunting for candies, carved pumpkins with a terrifying smile on their face.

Spooky Spectacular
Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year! I love to decorate, make things, and of course, dress up.

Kids Love Halloween
Halloween is so great - I have always loved it, ever since I was a kid!
