How Giant Squids Do Halloween
A Halloween Contest ~~ Giant Squid Style
So, How Do I Enter?
Second, the lens (or lenses) you enter must be in the SquidBOO! format.
Third, the lens needs to be about a costume idea, a favorite story or piece of Halloween lore, a Jack-O'-lantern you made, or a great party idea or Halloween treat.
So that's it: three easy steps to the coolest Halloween contest ever.
Once you have your lens, add it to one of the link lists below (any voting may not necessarily indicate the winner, just so you know) no later than ten o'clock pm (eastern) the night of Saturday, October 18th, 2008. (If you want confirmation of your entry, send me a note through the "Contact me" button, and I'll e-mail you back.)

Do you have a favorite Halloween treat or tradition in your family?

For A Halloween Costume, Which Is Better?
Store Bought or Home Made
Which do you prefer for your Halloween costume -- store bought, or home made? Can you tell me why?
Fetching blurbs now... please stand byStore Bought All The Way!
awelldressedbullet says:
Definitely store bought, cuz unless I can fit into a pumpkin, I can't sew! And I must admit, they do actually have so many really nice ones. Besides who has time to make a costume when we are busy making lenses?

EclecticWAHM says:
It's a time thing...the store. Or something literally thrown together from what's in the closet.
Posted October 05, 2008
JaguarJulie says:
Well, at the moment, what with all this Squidoo-dilling, I don't have time to devote to a homemade costume so I'm going for the store bought! Just can't decide which witch. ;)
Posted October 04, 2008
Christene says:
Store bought.
I'm not talented enough to make my own. And...my extra time goes to Squidoo! I wouldn't have time to make one. ;)

I Much Prefer Home Made
CCGAL says:
Home made because it's more fun and makes Halloween last all month, and because that's the only way we can be SURE nobody else will have the same one.

A homemade witch... while I would like to have more sewing skills and wear a Berverly Hillbillies' costume ;-)

janices7 says:
I like to sew and I've made lots of fun Halloween costumes like Mr. Potato Head and a Giant Pumpkin in the past. It is great fun to get those creative juices flowing. That said, this year, I'll probably have to do a store bought costume because I'm running out of time - seems I've become a Squidaholic so the time just keeps ticking away much faster than I realize.
Posted October 10, 2008
Eclectic_Muse says:
I've done both...I really wish there was a response for the fence straddlers--me! Lately I've been doing a combination. It seems to work well when store bought doesn't quite hit the mark.

Own The "Monster Mash"
Original Monster Mash
Amazon Price: $79.95 (as of 02/16/2012)![]()
List Price: $11.98
You really should own the original "Monster Mash" This is the the one and only complete album (from the 60's)sung by Bobby Boris Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers. Much of the songs are re-mixed and re-mastered, yet it retains it's lighthearted fun. It's a must have for your Halloween party - for the song "Monster Mash" alone, but is invaluable for it's nostalgia factor too. I wore out my vinyl album of this, did you?
Usually ships in 1-2 business days
