I'd hoped for something more suitable for a teenagers or adults party. The decorations in this book are rather old fashioned - cute countrystyle pumpkins etc. - and more suited to children, lacking the 'Gothic' element I'd hoped for. I've found www.instructables.com to be the best source of ideas for Halloween so far.

Cutsie cutsie cutsie
30 Jun 2001
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm a serious Halloweenie. When I heard the title "Haunt Your House For Halloween: Decorating Tricks & Party Treats" the last thing I expected were cutsie country painted wood cutouts of pumkpin men (stacked 3 hight like snowmen), pigeon-looking blue crows, and BUNNIES with harlequin diamond painted ears. There were even oversided EGGS painted in yellow, orange, and white as if to be candy corn.
If you're a serious country crafter who wants to spend a lot of time cutting shapes out of pine with your jigsaw and then painting them, this book has great ideas for you. Personally, I found that a lot of the instructions were quite lengthy and involved, and required a lot of money spent on materials and tools.
I bought two Halloween books online this year in preparation for my 2nd annual haunted costume party. This one was a big disapointment for me. If you're looking for some really fantastic, easy, original and genuinely SPOOKY decorating and party ideas, try "Scary Scenes For Halloween" by Jill Williams Grover. I've left rave reviews for the wealth of amazing ideas I've gathered from her book.

Haunt your house with cute stuff!
4 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
This book has a lot of ideas for decorating your house. The majority of the items are "country" style wood cutouts. They are cute but not what I thought would be in a book that is called "Haunt you house for Halloween"! The directions are thorough and easy to follow. The book has a lot of photographs of the actual finishes projects as well. The ideas are probably good for houses with little children who may scare easy or for people who like the painted wood decorations.

Cute book, but would have called it "How to Decorate Your Home for a Country Autumn"
26 July 2005
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Being a Halloween aficionado, I find this book cute, and full of good for ideas for a mild Halloween, but "haunted" is not what I would call the decorations. I still can't understand why some of the pumpkins have jester hats. Personally, I would call this more fall country decor than anything, but very cute and good ideas all around.
