Customer Reviews

Throw a great Halloween party with the help of this book.
Lots of wonderful spooky ideas for food, drink and crafts. We threw the best Halloween party ever with the help of this book. The shrunken heads were a great success. Also, the tissue paper ghosts which we hung from trees with fishing line - really ghoulish! All the children loved the eyeball ice cubes floating in their witche's brew. Highly recommended.

Great Book!
This is one of my favourite halloween books! It has great stylish ideas for halloween decor and fantastic costumes & makeup/masks. Mostly for grown ups - which is nice for a change!

Spooky Wooky Chic!
I am so pleased with this book, I kind of thought the Queen of Home Entertainment from the Land of Uber Halloween Celebration it's gotta have some good ideas. I was not disappointed!!! Some of the ideas are grown up, in so far as health and safety is concerned - lots of candle and glass! For the 'captured chiffon ghosts' in glass jars I'm using large plastic sweet jars. And the tea lights in decorated glasses I'm using battery operated tea lights in decorated plastic tumblers. It just takes a bit of sense! Most of the designs/decorations are based on shadows and silhouettes so the templates at the back are great because they are already blacked out (not just an outline) so they can be copied to whatever size and cut out ready for use! As for the pumpkin designs - fairy lights at the ready - I'm not sure whether I have the room for the amount of gourds Martha uses!!! Can't wait for our party, some really good spooky ideas, more ghosts and subtle hints of haunting rather than obvious 'blood and guts" - my children are 2, 4 and 6 so maybe older children would prefer something a bit more shocking.
