This book will not help you create a Haunted House that people will pay 10 bucks or more to get into so they can wet their pants from fright. But it will help you create the most amazing Trick-Or-Treat front porch for miles, as well as a festive interior of your house for your anual Halloween Party.

If that's what you want, BUY THIS BOOK NOW.

I throw a Haunted Costume Party every year, and I was overwhelmed by the wealth of ideas in this book. Halloween is still almost 4 months away and I'm already anxiously plotting for the big event. I was captivated from page one with the amazing and inspiring photographs. Creepy witches hats, brooms, and shoes on your front porch, masked illuminating pumpkins, bats and spiders, an old wooden chair with the Invisible man, and a lighted skeleton head made from a milk carton.......genius creativity at it's best here.

There were awesome ideas on how to set your table for a spooky feast starting with the invitations, place settings and name cards, decorated and dripping candles, bat folded napkins, and a feeew ideas of what to eat...Frankenstein Cake Cones, Dracula Bow Tie Pasta and Sauce, Creamy Chicken Baked in a Pumpkin, and Candy Corn Chowder..don't worry, it has no candy in it. (she had good ideas here, but I always serve black bean soup in a big cauldron...I'll be happy to give you the recipe, it's a big hit).

Great ideas for a younger crowd of party-goers too. Everything was made with readily available materials and easy to follow instructions and pictures. Buy lots of black spray paint, it can turn anything into a useful Halloween prop.

A very impressive home Halloween decorating book, I'll be referring to it for years to come.

I'm a die hard Halloween nut and I love crafts. This book is so clear and easy to follow with big clear pictures. This book will make you LOVE Halloween. Grover gives all different ideas for every aspect of spooking you home. The matrials aren't expensive, most you probably have in your own home. With the ideas that she gives, you find yourself saying "Oh, and I can do this and do that..." and you end up going above and beyond. It really inspires the Halloween haunter in you.

This ghoulrific new Halloween decorating book is a must have for any Halloweenite! It's filled with creative new ideas with easy to follow directions that don't require an entire craft store to complete. Photos, especially of "Frightful Feast" & "Goblin Gathering," are inspiring!

Great ideas that can be used to add a little or a lot of halloween fun to this holiday. Some of these ideas are so good that you could adapt them to use for other holidays also.

I loved Jills fresh new ideas for Halloween. The ideas are easy and inexpensive to make. I own a store and have used many of the ideas in this book

It is very well illistrated, and colorful. Children of all ages will have fun with this book.

I think this book was a little "too cute" to have "Scary" in the title. While there were a couple of "scary" ideas it was overall kiddie focused.

Not a bad book for the price. A close look at the cover reveals what most projects are like--cute for preschool children but not scary. Good color photos but annoying that they are not on the page oposite the directions.

we just love halloween and we like this book cause it has some very cool things to make and we like to add different things each year. plus it is a very fun way to get the whole family involved and have some fun and grow stronger. thanks

Having scary in the title is misleading. The book is fine for children's parties and has a few of nice ideas, but it is far from scary. However, some of the projects are too "artsie" and cute for me. If you're buying for young children's party ideas, it's a good book.

Like most Halloween craft books, this one is definitely family-friendly -- so if you want to know how to build a realistic heart that pumps blood, look elsewhere. That said, the projects in this book are definitely a cut above the average "cutesy" Halloween projects you see every year. The designs are clever, visually appealing, and easy to do. For the price, this is an excellent book.
