5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Guide for all Things Halloween, October 9, 2008

I picked this up with Matthew Mead's, "Halloween Tricks & Treats" and I'm glad I did!

Both books are completely unique so together you have a multitude of ideas and projects for an Awesome Halloween. While the focus of Mead's book centers largely on recipes, "A Ghostly Good Time" leans more towards costumes and decorating the home and yard.

The idea's are colorful and light on the creepy factor, this is, after all a book geared towards families and children. Both books are written and/or compiled by special interest magazines so the collection is fresh while throwing an easy nod to tradition.

Another must for all of you Halloween addicts out there, and we know who we are!

5.0 out of 5 stars great book!!, June 16, 2009

By	Magpie80 - See all my reviews

I absolutely love this book because the ideas in it are easy to copy and also inspire your own great ideas. The food in this book looks wonderful and I would love to try it even though I know it won't come out as perfect as the pictures, it still looks like a lot of fun. The instructions seem really easy to understand as well.

Another book with some good ideas for Halloween! I won't use all the ideas but have plans to do some other things as take offs of these things! Worth having on your shelf for Holiday ideas!
