Although Matthew Mead's "Monster Book of Halloween" is itself a great book on Halloween entertaining, it was a disappointment for me having already purchased Matthew's "Halloween Tricks and Treats". In fact, I felt totally ripped off to see the same recipes, pictures, and designs in his second book.
If you are buying one book for Halloween I recommend either of his books, but if you are like me and crave a constant parade of new ideas and creative crafts , buy only one as the second is basically a repeat.

Don't bother to get this book. I ordered this book based on the reviews others had given it, and what I received was very disappointing. Splashed across the cover is the claim "Hundreds of spooky treats and clever crafts for the best holiday ever!" What there is are a lot of glossy photos. Directions are minimal, and most of the ideas, from craft to cooking involves sticking eyes onto bought objects. Recipes are ordinary, and can be found for free (and with more detail) by doing a simple web search. There are 9-10 pages of simple black templates at the back of the book, but again, very ordinary, and freely available all across the web. What really makes me cranky is that the few interesting designs all need to be downloaded from the author's website - but they are not easy to find. It seemed as though you couldn't access anything without paying a subscription, and I had given up when I tried a google to see if anyone had an image of the one project I love (eggs in disguise) to link to here -- didn't find the pic, but suddenly I had the templates referred to in the book! You can get the templates here ([...] ). I have no idea how to access that from the website given in the book. I upgraded my review from 1 star to 2 when I found the templates. But really, if I wanted to comb the web for templates, why would I buy a book that claimed to have it all??

When i first saw this book i was hesitant to purchase it because the cover didn't really catch my eye or hint at anythng really interesting inside. When i first opened it i was very suprised to see that it was completely full of awesome ideas. Some of which i've never seen before (and i own several Hallowen decorating books). I fell in love with this book when i flipped through all the ideas and recipes and i promise you that you'll love it if you really love Halloween!

Monster Halloween-Matthew Mead
Disappointing book - same material as in previous Matthew Mead books that I already have. He puts a new cover on the books and uses the same contents. I'd love some new ideas!
