Do You Haunt Your House for Halloween?

Loading poll. Please Wait...

Are You Ready to Create a Haunted House?

This is the book for you . . .

This book is filled with 98 pages of spooky projects and tips. Some are simple, other projects are more advanced. With plenty to choose from, there is something in this book to make your next Halloween home haunt or party even spookier.

** Please note: This book was written for adults and as such, the projects are not intended for children. It is for creative adults who want to create their own haunted Halloween home and graveyard.

I like to hear from people who used the book. The following is an excerpt from the comment by Nancy Marquez on Amazon.com:
"I've got movie set people in my family who know how to do this sort of thing, (grown women have fainted at their haunted house) but if you don't, this is the book for you."

From another happy user:
"Let me just say that the tips and props in this book are not meant for the blood-and-gore-type of "decorating", but more like for a run-down abandoned creepy feel. The tips and instructions are completely laid out and beautifully photographed, AND are even wallet-friendly. . . No matter your crafting skill-level, the instructions are easy to follow and can be modified or built upon."

If You Don't Have a Real Coffin, This Halloween Poster Will Do

It's a stand up from AllPosters

At 193cm tall, this Elvira in Coffin stand up is sure to raise some eyebrows. Imagine walking into a room and finding her taller than you! (she is most definitely taller than me)

A Few Scary Halloween Posters

But not too scary

These have an almost child like cartoon aspect to them. Fun, but a bit scary. Probably not the ones to pick if you are going for the total haunted "scary" house this year. But I liked them, so I included them here.

The Right Movie Characters Can Make Scary Halloween Posters

(or are they the "wrong" characters?)

And these stand-ups are perfect for frightening your unsuspecting guests. Gotta love Halloween. But the beauty of these three stand-ups is that they are from classic movies, so not limited to a Halloween theme.
