The Halloween Decor To Frighten Guests
By Patricia Gorginas
The Halloween themes naturally lend themselves to a host of amazing
decorations. You can turn your home into a terrifying haunted
house, go large on the outside with big props or dazzle the inside
with accents of creepiness and Halloween horror.
Remember, you don’t have to purchase everything all at once,
as you can add year by year. If you’re planning a Halloween party,
then ask everyone to bring something creepy to add to the ambiance.
Perhaps you and a few others can pool resources to really go wild
and make this October 31st the best.
At www.thehorrordome.com
you will find that it is arguably one of the best sites for the
Halloween decor that will freak people out. These professional,
Hollywood-caliber Halloween decorations may cost you but they’ll
last you throughout the years and will really impress friends
and family.
Screaming Monsters Bound To Shock And Horrify Your Guests
Some pieces are so cool, that the gothic in you may even want
to review your options and keep them up all year round. The site
offers loads of items to include in haunted houses, such as an
entire house of horror facade structure for $11,000, 7-8 foot
tall Predator and Alien props for $4,100-$4,700, fortune teller
machines and screaming monsters that are bound to shock and horrify
your guests.
For the more budget-conscious party host, you can buy body parts
for as low as $10, possessed changing old-fashioned portraits
for $35, a 65-inch hanging ghoul for $70, fog machines for $80,
the "It’s Alive" baby puppet for $80, a fortune telling
machine for $150 and a zombie popping out of the ground for $270.
Creating Your Own Halloween Decorations
Are you looking to make some of the Halloween themed decorations
yourself this year? So many times we see items and think "Hey
I could make that," so why not try your hand at craftsmanship
this year? At www.creepyfx.com
you will find DVDs and workshops on creating your own Halloween
decorations.
At www.goregalore.com,
you can purchase a "corpsification kit" for $45, which
will enable you to make your own nasty-looking corpse. At www.anniescostumes.com
you can build your own spider web for $30 with the webcaster gun.
At www.brandsonsale.com
you will find a make-your-own-tombstone kit for $20. At www.monstermakers.com
you can find a number of kits and resources for making latex monsters,
with kit prices ranging from $30 - $375 and monster teeth kits
for $40.
Homemade Animatronics
This could be great Halloween fun to do with older children.
www.monsterguts.com
offers a number of kits for making homemade animatronics, from
$2.49 for the LED eyes kit to $149 for the thrashing box monster
kit. If you’ve got an engineer in the family or you’re
feeling really tech-savvy, then you can try your hand at making
your own skeleton animatronics via the directions found on www.wildrice.com/Halloween/Construction/Skeleton/.
It’s easy to get carried away while looking at awesome Halloween
decorations websites; therefore, it’s best to start with a detailed
budget for the Halloween party. Break down each area, such as
food, yard decorations, indoor ambiance and party favors. Try
prioritizing which things mean the most.
Some parents choose to collaborate with other parents and pool
resources. Whether you’re planning a kid’s party or an adult costume
party, these sites will help you begin your planning. Just be
sure to start several months in advance or you’ll wind up at Party
City paying triple the price.

Did You Know This About Halloween?
Coming up with the right outfit for a Halloween party can sometimes
be difficult. You go to specialty stores but they are outrageous
on their costumes. Most do not even have books that can tell you
how to do great spooky holiday crafts.
If you are having a ghostly costume party you are going to need
crafts, outfits and plenty of great ghoulish snacks to keep all
the little witches and goblins fed and happy. It can be frustrating
trying to find the right website or book to help you out. You
are in luck though.
