A Pumpkin Video To Set The Mood...
Hallows' Eve and the Pumpkin Dream
Adam C. Sager
Adam C. Sager and his daughter set out to make a Halloween film for family and friends and this short but extremely well done video, Hallows' Eve and the Pumpkin Dream, was the result.
Their video was so well done that it actually earned a page for itself on IMDb, where they describe the film as "Hallows' Eve and the Pumpkin Dream awakens the childlike fascination and terror surrounding the creepiest day of the year--Halloween--as a young girl ventures into the night."
I know you will enjoy this short but eerie Halloween film...

A pumpkin pie so easy that you and your children could make it together!
If you are looking for a simple and easy pumpkin pie recipe, you have found it. This is actually a cheater recipe of sorts because it starts with a frozen pie shell. However, sometimes cheating is okay and we think that this is one time where taking a short cut is okay. To reach my recipe, just click right here,
It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown Jigsaw Puzzle
This jigsaw puzzle is recommended for children aged 6 years old and up.
Spookley the Square Pumpkin (2004)
Rated G, Spookley is a story about a pumpkin who is teased about his unusual shape. He is befriended by three funny spiders who manage to convince Spookley that regardless of his shape, he could be Pick of the Patch on Halloween. Of course, there are a couple of bullies who tease him because of his squareness but Spookley eventually discovers that "it's fine to be round while the weather is fair, but there are times it's better to be a square!"

Recordable Storybook For Halloween
Record your voice reading the book 10 Little Pumpkins.
A recordable storybook would be a special treat for Halloween. Record your voice reading the story 10 Little Pumpkins and your children or grandchildren will listen over and over again. The book could be given to children to read, however, I have seen the reading level rated for children 9 to 12 years of age.

Five Of The Best Pumpkin Story Books
These children's pumpkin picture books are recommended for children who are preschoolers to approximately Grade 2.
The Haunted Clock Tower Board Game
Prolong the Halloween fun with a great Halloween board game.
Unfortunately, I could not find an excellent choice in board game that featured pumpkins. I do think that playing a Halloween game is a great way to extend the Halloween fun in your home. We played this game all year long. The Haunted Clock Tower is a quality Ravensburger game, which is recommended for children aged five years old and up.
The box reads, "At midnight, the clock in the haunted tower rings out twelve times. At this signal the young ghosts take over the tower. Once in the tower, the ghosts begin their party. They sneak up and down the spiraling staircase and through the many rooms, using the trapdoors and hidden entrances to secret passages. They hide in old closets and dark corners. If you enter the tower after midnight you can get quite a scare -- but the ghosts are really friendly creatures who are just having fun! When playing The Haunted Clock Tower, players do not compete to win, but work together to help the ghosts reach the clock tower by midnight. If all the ghosts get there in time, the party can begin and the game is won."
The Haunted Clock Tower is not available from Amazon. It is, however, sometimes available from sellers on eBay by following these links:

Halloween Jack O Lantern Mugs
Perfect for serving your witches brew (or your hot chocolate!)
What fun to have a Halloween mug to bring out and use each and every year during the month of October (or even all year long!)
