Editorial Review

Amazon.com
As a regular on TV's Bewitched, Kasey Rogers (Louise Tate) has the right pedigree to produce Halloween Crafts: Eerily Elegant Decor. She and coauthor Mark Wood have dreamed up some pretty innovative approaches to such timeworn Halloween delights as pumpkin carving, table decorating, and party giving. Rather than limit carving to traditional orange pumpkins, they offer devilish red imps made of bumpy gourds and green glow-stick eyes, or a jaunty goblin king carved of green hubbard squash. A decrepit old butler figure presides over the "graveyard tea," and the "harvest of skulls" centerpiece features a tower of grinning plastic skulls topped with drippy black (electric) candles. A quartet of simple recipes makes up the "Boo-fey," along with two versions of punch contributed by another Bewitched alumnus, Bernard Fox (Dr. Bombay). The home-snapshot quality of the photographs is the one weak spot in this otherwise commendable book. Still, enough details are generally visible to help clarify the occasionally confusing directions, and the step-by-steps are mostly adequately explained. A source list provides contact information for the harder-to-find items. --Amy Handy ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A Welcome Addition to My Library
I went through a phase where I ordered a ton of Halloween books. It's my favorite holiday, after all, and I enjoy flipping through books on the topic year 'round. However, I've been disappointed in many of the books I've ordered. Some are too childish (fine if you're looking for projects to do w/ your kids -- I don't have any), some are too lame. This is not one of the disappointments -- it's a favorite.

The book's title is pretty accurate. It offers several themes for grown-up, but not gory, parties. I was actually pleasantly surprised by how many projects appealed to me: not entire themes, but several individual projects.

It's rare to find a book like this that isn't a digest of previously-published magazine articles. (The Martha Stewart book is the only one of this style that I like (I own several).) One of the most annoying things about Halloween books is buying one, then finding out that you've seen every suggestion in a magazine (and weren't all that impressed the first time). As far as I know, this is a "from scratch" book, meaning that the book is the only place you'll find these projects. I like it, because the projects are different from what I've seen in other Halloween Craft/Decorating books.

4-0 out of 5 stars Finally--some "adult" Halloween Decor Ideas!
I agree with some other reviews that the plastic honey bear & "Aunt Jemima" lights are bit ... uhhhh, cheesey; however, there is tons of other stuff that is very classy and it has great photos and interesting tidbits. Despite a few cheesetastiks, it's still WELL WORTH the price and a must-have for any fan of HALLOWEEN!!!

1-0 out of 5 stars Not as expected
Although this book has one or two interesting projects, overall, it wasn't as wonderful as the other reviews cracked it up to be.I was unexpectedly dissapointed!

3-0 out of 5 stars Crafty, but not elegant
I just got this book and there are some good ideas in it (which is why I gave it three stars), but I do not find the majority of their decor to be elegant.
What's elegant about using a cookie cutter to shape your sandwich like an owl or using the plastic honey bear to make a nightlight?

If you're looking for some adult craft ideas, then this book may be worth looking into, just keep in mind that different people have varying opinions of what constitutes "elegant decor."

5-0 out of 5 stars Halloween is for adults again!
As other reviewers have written, this Halloween decorating book is meant for adults with taste. So often Halloween is reduced (doubtless by the presence of chain retailers that rely for profit on the kitschy) to the garish and silly--think of those stupid "witch-flew-into-a-tree" decorations. Kasey Rogers saves the day with this book, in which you can turn pumpkins into macabre "stone" settings, set up a Goblin King with his loyal subjects, light flickering Gothic candles, and enjoy a "harvest" of skulls. My favorite, though, is definitely the extremely easy to make New England-style tombstones. And next to the elegant nature of these projects, the best part is that nothing here is prefab silliness. Halloween is for adults again! ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Simple Ideas
This book has some creative ideas, but also some things that are pretty cheesy.For the most part, I will use this book to get some ideas to use as jumping-off points for Halloween projects.Most of the book is filled up with recipes.Many of the recipes are pretty creative, but it also includes recipes for decorating cookies to look like spiders or ghosts.

4-0 out of 5 stars Fun!
This book is a ton of fun. The craft projects range from the simple to the complicated, with clear directions and adorable results.The "Spooky Skeleton" made with chenille stems is cute and definitely kid friendly."Henrietta Witch" is sweet, but requires a sewing machine and a lot of supplies.The recipes are the best part of the book.My favorites are the "Mini Mummy Dogs". They are super easy to make, but look awesome. They would make great finger food for a Halloween party. The "Cocoa with Floating Eyeballs" is hilarious - perfect for a bonfire.There are several cute cakes - from "Jack-'o-Lantern" (using two bundt cakes) to "Halloween Haunted House" (the Halloween version of a gingerbread house). If you are into Halloween, this book is a must have!You will start wishing for October to hurry up and get here so you can try out these spooky crafts and snacks. ... Read more

Create a charming country-style Halloween setting through your whole house, from the front yard and the entryway to the windows, mantelpiece, and table, with a little help from Haunt Your House for Halloween. More sweetly spooky than scary, the decorations feature lots of simple, painted wood cutouts (ghosties, pumpkiny characters, rabbits, cats, crows), easy wreaths (such as a circle of ghost-wrapped lollipops), and clever edibles (sloppy joes whose buns masquerade as pumpkins; ghoul-aid; chocolate scaredy-snacks). Full directions and patterns are given for each project, although the book's format occasionally makes finding the instructions for a particular project challenging: a series of photos illustrates a number of project tableaus, followed by the step-by-step instructions for those projects compressed together, then another series of photos, and so on. Everything is clearly pictured, though, and the directions do refer back to the illustration page, so this minor drawback shouldn't keep Halloween crafters from finding their way. --Amy HandyBook Description

Here are 80 eerie projects—scary decorations, ghosts by the window, ghouls in your yard and on fences and porches.Creative ideas for every room and area will make your home the area’s Halloween masterpiece. Bonus: Party recipes, favors, and costumes.“The decorating ideas and party tips in this colorful book can make your Halloween a treat.”—Country Almanac.

4-0 out of 5 stars WELL-DONE CRAFT IDEAS FOR HALLOWEEN
"Haunt Your House for Halloween", despite its ominous title, isn't really geared towards the scary side of Halloween.The book presents mainly tame Halloween décor and on that level it works very well.You just have to know what you're getting.Author Cindy Fuller wastes no time with lengthy histories of Halloween myths and traditions...we've all read those time and time again.She jumps right into the many projects found in this 96 page book.

One of the semi-scary projects to be found is the Floating Phantom, made with just a handful of items that you may have at home or can be picked up at the local craft store.Made from primarily a piece of old white bed sheet (I prefer an off white or gray to make it seem no so "pure") and some line for hanging, you can achieve more of a terrifying look by drawing a more evil face on your phantom before hanging from a tree or perhaps an awning.

Halloween wreaths are becoming quite common place today and allow a decorator to really use their own imagination in coming up with unique designs.There's a wonderful Halloween wreath, decorated with tiny ghosts that serves a dual function.It not only looks good, but you can stick suckers all around the wreath for a distinctive way of passing out candy to trick-or-treaters.

A very simple, yet effective way to make scary décor for Halloween is to cut various shapes of ghosts, or bats, or other traditional Halloween characters out of Acetate and stick them to your windows, using light to create some very spooky silhouettes.

Fuller also has many projects for décor inside the home including a neat little pumpkin patch village that can go on top of your mantle or on a table.There are also a number of items that can be made out of pine if you have the right tools to cut the wood.The book contains patterns for all of these wood projects.

There are also things like recipes and décor for Halloween parties.The book features a full color photograph of each completed project and each is detailed in clear, concise instructions, and is accompanied by a full materials list.While it's more crafty than scary, "Haunt Your House for Halloween" presents some great-looking and simple projects to accent your home's holiday look.

3-0 out of 5 stars Cute book, but would have called it "How to Decorate Your Home for a Country Autumn"
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.

2-0 out of 5 stars Cutsie cutsie cutsie
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.

3-0 out of 5 stars Haunt your house with cute stuff!
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. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Already a Halloween Favorite
My two year old loves reading this book all through the year.He just loves halloween and loves saying "ooooh..." when he sees a spider or bat, or "Boo" when he sees a ghost.This delightful little lift-the-flap book follows Dora on her quest to find Boot's bag of Halloween candy that has been stolen by Swiper.

As in the show, she needs to consult with the map to find the way.Through the woods with Owls and Bats, into the pumpkin patch where you lift the flaps on the pumpkins to find Halloween treats, to finally the spooky haunted house witha ghost waiting at the door.Once inside, the little ones explore the haunted house by lifting up flaps and searching for the stolen bag of candy.

As delightful as the TV show, kids will just love following Dora on this spooky adventure and encountering all sorts of Halloween creatures along the way.Very enjoyable and already getting worn out in our household.

Swiper has done it again!Where did that sneaky fox hide Boots' bag of Halloween candy? This board book of the immensely popular Latina explorer is filled with surprises for young readers.Lift 19 flaps to find a trick or a treat. Match the faces in a pumpkin patch.Guess who are the mystery guests waiting at the Haunted House, including the ghost with the orange tail.

4-0 out of 5 stars Good photos, okay crafts, good food
Full color, lots of huge photos. Unfortunately, bad binding: first time it's ever been opened and dozens of pages are dropping out. Crafts for families who are aiming to please the kids. Not crafts for kids to make all by theemselves. Mood is cute, non-historical, silly, hokey, occasionally country.

The jack o' lantern designs seemed pretty original until I realised that the theory behind them was just to glue anything you can find onto the pumpkin-shell. Bits of wire, leaves, beads, glitter, whatever- just make it thematic. That seems to be the idea behind it. Still, that's pretty fun.

The costumes were disappointing. Almost all for children, no-sew, quick and simple. The multi-wearer caterpillar was a pretty good idea, for example, but none of them looked very snazzy in execution. Not as artistic as the jack o' lanterns at all.

The other decorative crafts were more artistic again. I think I may actually try those. There were a lot of lanterns, though they could have been better. I think I'll try making the crepe paper decoupage jack o' lantern basket.

The party ideas were well-worn. For example, one of those beanbag toss games. Not as innovative as the rest.

The food was the best part. They vary from long and complex, to no cooking required. Some look like they'd be very good to eat, and others seem to be mostly for looks (such as the scowling goblin head food sculpture.) I'm most likely to try the witch hat cookies, which have a cookie for the brim, a candy-filled ice cream cone for the peaked part of the hat, and icing for the hatband. The witch hat cake (made of precariously stacked cakes, then iced over) would actually be edible, too, and would look great. Like a lot of things in this book, that could be for a Harry Potter themed party, too!

2-0 out of 5 stars Rehashed and repackaged - Been there, done that!
If you own BH&G's Halloween, Halloween Fun or (especially) Halloween Pumpkins & Parties, you've already seen everything this book has to offer. The material is mostly rehashed from Pumpkins & Parties. If you don't already own the above, this is a great savings on buying three books. The only new material I could find was a section at the back that had some cute invitation ideas, but that doesn't make this worth the price tag. Since the other books had some clever ideas, I was looking forward to this one. What a disappointment! ... Read more

Cocoa Cobweb Cupcakes, Black Cat Cookies, and Stained-Glass Spooks are just a few of the spirited tastes you'll encounter in Donata Maggipinto's delightful Halloween Treats. But it's not just recipes--you and your favorite little goblin will love creating spooky craft projects such as Candy Cauldrons, Leaf Lanterns, and Paper Bag Pumpkins together in anticipation of All Hallows' Eve. Maggipinto includes craft ideas for "Pixies" (children 4-8 years old) as well as older children, and nearly every recipe includes a safe task for younger helpers. (For example, while mom or dad should heat the milk for hot cocoa, kids can roll and stamp out marshmallow ghosts as accompaniment.) A few of the craft ideas will require a trip to the art supply store (such as lampshade paper for the very nifty flashlight lanterns), but Maggipinto leaves plenty of room for the magical combination of imagination and found objects. Her great "fanciful masks" are dime-store masks decorated with autumn leaves, candy wrappers, feathers, or anything else you might have at hand.

Maggipinto believes that Halloween festivities should last for at least a week; you'll find enough project instructions and recipes here for a month of Halloween fun. Grownups will love her Halloween dinner party menu (with Pumpkin Crackle Custard for dessert!) and kids can help by making corn kernel napkin rings and three-tiered pumpkin centerpieces. If you're looking for costume ideas, you won't find them here--the book is focused firmly on kitchen and decoration fun--but the beautifully illustrated Halloween Treats is a wonderful treasure trove of tricks and treats that every family will enjoy working on together. --Rebecca A.

Some of the ideas were cute and worth trying.But, for the most part, it is not worth the money.I loved the pictures, which were the best part of the book.I plan on trying some of the ideas, but depending on the age ofyour children, it's not really a family oriented book.I lost interestvery rapidly, as did my 4 and 7 year olds.

It was so hot here in AZ this fall, I needed a jumpstart to get into the Halloween spirit. This was just the book. Great photos and seasonal recipes made me run out to buy sweet potatoes for making the baked chips! Ienvisioned keeping them on hand for lunches and snacks, but they were gonein a day. The black cats were cute, too, but we all suffered with blacktongues after the fact. Plenty of other cute ideas for little ones.

Ifyou want Julia Child, don't buy this book; but if you want a holiday read,with great pictures and some nice recipes, find a notch on your bookshelffor this one.

Book Description
A boring Halloween party? The horror! Millions of Americans live to be scared silly, and for them October 31 marks the beginning of the holiday season: a reason to dress and act outrageously. This hip, photograph-filled paperback, packed with recipes and crafts, makes entertaining on Allhallows' Eve terrifyingly easy. From a frightful dinner for four to a full-out, monster-mashing Haunted Mansion, Lori Hellander concocts six parties guaranteed to make guests scream in delight. The Hocus Pocus Potion Party highlights eerie elegance, while Tricks and Treats taps into Halloween nostalgia.

Like a skilled carver attacking a pumpkin, Hellander chops up each themed party into manageable chunks: invitations; shopping and scheduling; decor and costumes; food and drink; games for all ages. But aspiring fete-ishists need not have tons of time or an armory of glue guns to get the parties going: there are plenty of quick and simple-to-execute ideas, plus useful tips for impromptu entertaining. AUTHOR BIO: LORI HELLANDER lives in New York City, but her work as a photo stylist takes her to many places on the map. She is a regular contributor to Country Living, Bon Appétit, and Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion, among other national publications, and has made several guest appearances on HGTV's Country Style and the Discovery Channel's Surprise by Design.

3-0 out of 5 stars Sophisticated Halloween suppers for grownups
This book is perhaps not well named. It is NOT about spooky spectacular Halloween parties. You won't find creative decorating and innovative costume ideas. Rather it is a nice recipe book for adult dinners, fun cocktails, and elegant place settings for a seasonal supper party. It isn't a one-shop top for your Halloween party ideas, but I really like some of their magical spell ideas, and their fun dinner and drink recipes.

3-0 out of 5 stars Too Retro
I'm a huge Halloween fanatic and own quite a few books on the subject and I'm always looking for more with new and fresh ideas.This would be a good book for someone who is into the retro theme as the book seemed like it focused soley on that, but because that's not for me, I was sadly disappointed in this book.But if retro is your thing, it had some nice ideas. Nothing new in the recipe section either.

1-0 out of 5 stars Boring, ideas, not worth it!
I rarely write reviews, but after I received this Halloween book, if you would even like to put it in that catagory, I felt I needed to save anyone from buying it!
An avid celebrater of Halloween, I thought that I had to have this boook for my collection--the title itself was SO catchy. After looking at it, the book was returned.
Words cannot even describe the dissappointment I felt after glancing through it.Boring, old, uninviting, crafty suggestions.If you are looking for a good Halloween book for the not too crafty or the not too gory, games, treats, decorations, try 101 Halloween Ideas. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars The best party in 30 years!
I suddenly found myself being the "room mother" two weeks before the Halloween Party.Desparately, I searched for a source to plan an excellent, low cost, fun party for 28 5th graders on short notice!This book was perfect.Although the crafts seemed a bit involved, the game ideas were perfect.The book was divided into themes such as witch, bat, pumpkin etc. and each theme had associated foods, games, crafts and decorations.The game ideas were easy to put together and I improvised a bit.The teacher said it was the most organized and fun party she had seen in 30 years of teaching!

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Helper!
I've used this book to help in the classroom and for a neighborhood party. It is practical and helpful. A good way to start the planning session.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great helper for the clueless!
I am a first year teacher and this book helped me by leaps and bounds. Almost all of the activities are listed to be for grades K-6, but I was able to modify (if at all) many of them for my pre-K classroom. Every section - games, crafts, food, etc - is broken up into subcategories such as cats, frankenstein, bats, etc so the Halloween Party can have its own theme as well, if you'd like. I can't even begin to explain how useful the entire book has been to me! It took all the stress out of putting on a huge party with students, siblings, and parents galore.

5-0 out of 5 stars What Do I Do?Buy This Book!!!
This Book it exactly what I have been looking for.A complete party how to book, from Bat Volleyball to Witch's Bubbling Brew.
I run a Day Care and to find activities for each age group is "pricless".

1-0 out of 5 stars Lame from start to finish!
I just received this book, which I pre-ordered last August. What a disappointment! Boring recipes for things like pumpkin soup and pumpkin muffins, boring costumes (cat, skeleton, vampire) and boring decorations. This book was previously published as Trick or Treat, and now has new photos, but isn't worth the price of shipping, much less the cost of the book. ... Read more
