Where is a good site to get scary halloween pumpkin carving patterns and stencils?
Last year my boyfriend carved our pumpkin with the evil monkey from family guy. it took him a few hours but was very unique and scary. we are looking for something equally as interesting and scary. however we are having trouble finding sites with free patterns that aren’t just silly faces. Any ideas??

Halloween Party for tweenagers?! :P?
I am having a costume party on Halloween night, and I am inviting exactly 50 people, boys and girls. They are all going into 6th grade, so its an age group of 11-13 year olds. We are going to have it at my aunts house, who lives out in the country with a VERY big yard, and she lives by the woods. (not in, but her house is surrounded by the woods from the sides and the back, not the front.) We are going to have an LCD projector and bedsheets as a screen, so that we can watch a PG-13 horror type movie outside, like in a drive-in. I don’t know what movie to get. (Maybe The Priest, or Insidious? Movie reviews if you have seen either of them.)
We are going to have a contest for Best Costume Overall, Creepiest Costume, Greatest Group Costumes, Best Identity Hiding Costume, and Most Creative Costume. What should I give out as prizes?
We decided on having 4 or 5 different snacks out, about a hundred of each. What snacks are quick and easy, but still filling and delicious? We are also going to have big bowls of punch out. Where can I find a recipe for that punch with dry ice so that it has a smokey fog kind of thing that goes around it? (links for snacks and punch. snacks do NOT have to be Halloween themed, as I find that they are all pretty much the same.)
Me and my friends are going to try and raise a bunch of money for decorations. We are going to go to Party City when we have a lot of money raised. We are going to get some pretty awesome decorations, but they will cost a lot. What can I do to raise money? (I get allowance and I can babysit for people. Maybe do odd-jobs around neighborhood?)
I have a few CD’s with Halloween music on them, but I want to have just regular music too. Any good dance songs and artists that have CD’s out right now, or have their songs on iTunes?
I am going to be a zombie, like from the seventies, which is when they say "Punk Died." so I am going to be a punk zombie, with "Punk Is Dead" written in bloody writing on the back of my shirt. Any other ideas for the rest of my costume?
We are going to play games in the dark, like a creepy version of Hide and Seek, the Seekers try to find and scare the Hiders before the Hiders see them and scare the Seekers, if that makes any sense. (it’s easier to explain while doing actions and actually being there to SAY it.)
We are going to try and get a DJ, but if we can’t, we are just going to get a boom-box and strobe lights and all that. I also will need to get a microphone for my karaoke system, so that I can talk and everyone will hear me (my friends can get REALLY loud!) and so that we can have singing and rapping free-style at my party too. (links on eBay or Amazon for microphones?)
And finally: After reading this, what do you think my party is going to be on a scale from 1-10?
Does it sound like a party you would want to go to? It will be from 7:00 p.m. till after midnight.
What time should I have people go home? (it really sucks, because school is the next day, but we will ALL be tired anyways, so who cares? Also, we will be wearing bits of our costumes to school the next day, and acting like our "characters" all day. THAT will be pretty funny!)
10 pts to best answer! (and sorry for making this so long!!!

Halloween – Any Ideas For Skeletons?
I’ve got 30+ skeletons for Halloween decorations for the yard this year. I would like to have a theme of some sort. Leaning towards "While We Sleep." A few ideas I have are: One swimming in a pool, one laying in lawn chair, a couple dancing, three climbing up to the roof, one in a wagon, … any suggestions?

How do I make a skeleton stand up?
I’m trying to get together ideas for Halloween decorations in the yard. I want a skeleton bride and groom, but all the ones I see to buy cost hundreds of dollars. How can I make a skeleton sturdy enough to be able to stand up in the yard? I thought of putting a pole in the yard and putting the skeleton on that, then dressing it, but how do I actually do that and make his head where it won’t flop over. Any other ideas?

Would these halloween decorations scare you even abit?
So im a halloween FREAK ! im all for making the house super scary every year. This year i had a great idea, A YARD CEMETERY. In my front yard, i want to put 6 scary tombstones with scary hands & head coming from the ground beside the tombstones. A mini fence, a sign that says ‘My street name Cemetery’. Scary props, skeletons & zombies hanging from trees. & fog running though it all. On my porch i wanted to do something like a slaughter house. Like huge knives hanging on the walls, brains, hands, body parts, feet, head, anything everywhere on my porch, all fake blood splattered on the floor. Then i have a huge spider web that has a huge purple & black spider on it in the corner of my porch, strobe lights & scary music playing lightly. Would this stuff freak you out, even a bit ? imagine your self as a kid. This is what decor im having in my yard for HALLOWEEN ! ![]()

What are some good SCARY Halloween yard decoration ideas?
So in celebration of my favorite holiday, I want to have a cool yard display.
For the past few years, the most decor we have had was a plastic pumpkin. But I managed to convince my dad to let me make it a whole lot spookier ![]()
So what are some cool spooky ideas? I want it to be SCARY, but not so scary that no kid would dare to approach it or anything, lol.
Thanks for your ideas!!!!!!!
Oh also, my yard is fairly large and it has a small tree. We have a big garage but it’s got a lot of junk and an old rusty car that doesn’t move lol, but I suppose we could just shield that off. Just thought you might wanna know ![]()
Oh, or we could use the rusty car , it is pretty scary LOL

Can I display a noose in my yard as a part of my halloween decorations?
I’ve tied it realistically. It will be attached to a tree branch with only a rubber band so it cannot possibly be used for real.
It will add to my other halloween art: an electric chair and a guillotine

Do Haunted Houses Really Exist – Are There Any Real Life Haunted Houses Or Are They Just A Myth?
The night before “All Souls Day” is the night we know as Halloween. This is when souls are supposedly in the nether regions, when spirits in the heavens, converge with human souls to celebrate their ghostliness. On October 31st, whatever you do, don’t go into haunted houses looking for ghosts!
There’s a reason people carve and light Jack lanterns on Halloween - the hideous pumpkins with their flaming eyes and contorted mouths are supposed to frighten away evil spirits who are trying to target your house to set up home. At Halloween, the ghostly spirits are supposed to reveal themselves. In haunted houses, on October 31st, the spirits deliberately come out to cause you fright, for they are supposed to hate Halloween, hate the crowds of adults and kids dressed up in horror Halloween costumes, and hate that other spirits besides themselves are walking around on the earth. Ghosts of haunted houses are, to put it simply, unsociable!
In California,in 1989, in a town called Van Nuys, a paranormal investigation team “photographed” a ghost hanging a man in the attic. It was supposedly hanging him with a rope from a nail stuck in the roof rafters.
In Hollywood, California, George Reeves, the original person who played the part of Superman, is seen often in his old home. People are supposed to have seen him in his Superman uniform, holding a gun. Some say George killed himself, others say he was killed, it’s all quite a mystery.
In Benedict Canyon, California, the famous actress Jean Harlow’s house is thought to have 2 ghosts. One is Paul Burn, Harlow’s husband, who shot himself, and the other is a dead woman no one knows. Sharon Tate saw Paul’s ghost, and also saw, more chillingly, at the bottom of the stairs, a woman lying in her own blood, her throat slit, just as, years later, Sharon Tate herself would be found.
Further north, again in California, this time in San Jose, people have reported seeing figures in the windows of Winchester house, a house that the widow of the inventor or the Winchester rifle built according to the designs spirits were said to give to her. These spirits were benevolent spirits intent on keeping the ghosts of the thousands who have died by the Winchester rifle from haunting her.
Although California haunted houses are to be found widespread along its coast, all of the 50 states have haunted houses.
In New Mexico, just north of Santa Fe, at the foot of Black Mesa, is an old hacienda that once housed the government of the Spanish governor, who was a merciless man who readily hanged criminals on the hacienda grounds. Ghosts have been seen there during Halloween including the ghost of the governor’s wife, who was found dead on the staircase. Some have seen ghosts walking on the grounds s well, more than likely the ghosts of men hanged on the hacienda’s gallows in the 1840s, when the cruel governor ruled over the land.
There is a naval station in Kansas that is well known to house the ghost of a pilot who crashed on an airfield there. People reported having seem the pilot actually get out of the crashed airplane, walk to a hanger nearby, yet when they arrived at the plane, they were amazed and stunned to find his body there, dead. Since then, many times people have seen this pilot walking the hangar, others hear
voices, and still others find things moved and changed. Doors open completely on their own. Cups flip over all by themselves. On Halloween, you’re sure to hear voices in corners, and see twisted shadows scampering close to the walls.
While many of these ghosts are benign and have no intention of harming anyone, many others in these haunted houses resent visitors on Halloween night. Some might throw things at you, while others might try to hang you.
So the bottom line is, unless you’re prepared to actually encounter a ghost, stay away from any known haunted houses on Halloween night, when the spirits celebrate their ghostliness.
You should be afraid! Halloween is a truly spooky occasion!
