"The moon is full, the sky is darkening and there is a chill in the air. It's October 31--time for the ghoulish ghosts, wicked witches and grim goblins to descend upon your haunted house for the most macabre Halloween party ever."

If you like Halloween or are a teacher or party planner, this book is for you.

The book is divided into:

-- History of Halloween
-- Outdoor decorations
-- Indoor Decorations
-- Jack-o-Lanterns
-- Devilishly Delectable Treats
-- Party Favors & Crafts
-- Ghoulish Games
-- Creepy Costumes and Menacing Makeup

Each section has a nice photo by Alan Bibby and Tamara Eder, list of needed supplies, and easy how-to instructions. Instead of heading to the store for ready-made stuff, you can make many of the things from items around your house.

My favorite was the recipes of Halloween-theme food. Imagine the end results of Crispy Roasted Bones, Wicked Weiner Fingers, Eerie Eyeballs. You get the idea.

A creative collection that will get your own creative juices flowing to have the best Halloween party ever.

Armchair Interviews says: Very, very spooky ideas for decorating, costumes, games and food.
