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?

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?

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

So you’ve been invited to a Halloween event, and there’s a great first prize for the best Halloween costume and you want to win it! Problem is, you don’t know what to dress up as. What exactly would be the best costume?

Halloween is meant to be a fun holiday but quite often it is hard to have a good time when there are so many little things and errands to take care of – for example the decorations, party favors, and the candy to hand out to trick-or-treaters. But the main problem is that you are drawing a blank on finding a good Halloween costume, not just for yourself, but possibly for your kid too.

Finding a great kid’s Halloween costume can be tricky, because depending on the age of the child, he or she will have quite a say on the decision. Children often have the most creative imagination when it comes to thinking up the best Halloween costume ideas. They usually want to wear what is “cool” at the present time and it is very important to them what their peers think of the costume they will be wearing. That being said it is best to let them guide you as to what they would be thrilled to wear out with their friends. Movie heroes, Disney characters are usually the most popular for the younger kids, whereas the teenagers are probably going to be much more comfortable wearing something frightening or a way-out weird Halloween costume, just to get the added attention. There are lots of stores online that you can visit to buy kids Halloween costumes.

Finding the best adult Halloween costume, is less restricting than kids ones, but then you have the added problem of being totally overwhelmed simply by the vast variety of costumes available!

Just remember that the best Halloween costumes do not have to be the sexiest ones. Some adults go the sexy route hoping that will win them first prize for the best costume at a party or event. But that’s not the way it works. What matters more is how original and well thought out your costume might be.

Some of the best ever costumes have been the ones where you can’t tell who is inside because so much of the body is covered or hidden. Remember that showing skin will probably get some attention, but that too has, quite frankly, been done to death. Instead, why not rely on your wit and sense of humor to come up with your own ideas for the best costume ever.

For inspiration and ideas I suggest that you visit some of the big online Halloween costume stores and browse through their many pages of costumes and see if any of them catch your attention. Each year these sites come up with new and original outfits, it’s fun to see how creative some of them really are!

No matter what age you are, you can find some very neat items that are going to literally blow people away. All you have to do is to find the time to shop around, and just remember to keep an open mind. If you stick to just one idea, you are going to have a hard time finding the items you want. It’s better if you have a few ideas or a vague idea, you can then just go and see what is out there and then choose the best of what you find!

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!

So you have decided that this year the theme for Halloween is “spooky”, and you’ve probably already decided on a your kids scary Halloween costume, now all you need to do to set the whole mood for a spooky Halloween night is  to decorate your home and yard accordingly.

If you want to go all out when decorating for your kid’s spooky Halloween party, you will find that the quite honestly, the sky is the limit.

There are so many more ideas out there than ever before, in fact you are actually spoilt for choice!. One great idea are Halloween tombstones, they can look really authentic and if you have some placed in your front yard up to the door, to make it look like a small cemetery, they can look quite freaky and scary.

That’s not all you can do with tombstones, there are many different things you can do with them. You can even make them funny if you want to (if you make them yourself, that is).  You can easily make you own and add your own sayings, names, or dates. Do whatever it is you want.

To make your own homemade Halloween tombstones, you need something that is easy to work with and also easy to store away for another year. One of the very best materials that you can use is Styrofoam. This is what many of the store-bought tombstones are made of and you can do the same. Styrofoam is easy to shape and cut, though make sure you dispose of any extra pieces carefully, as this material will not be good for your yard or the environment if left lying around. When you are buying the sheets of Styrofoam the only thing you need to pay particular attention to, is to make sure the pieces are thick enough to stay sturdy and upright when used outdoors for Halloween tombstones.  Inside ones you can prop up against a wall, if needs be, so they don’t have to be quite so thick.

Once you have cut-out the basic shape that you want your Halloween tombstones to be, you can then use black or dark grey paint to paint them. Actually, you can do whatever you want. If you want red, go with red; if you want orange, go with orange (both these 2 would show up better in the dark anyway!). Try to use a waterproof paint if you can, though you may find that spray paint is the fastest and easiest type of paint to use. Once you have painted them, you can then take a knife
to carve out the words you want to appear on your Halloween tombstones. Once you’ve done that, the all you have left to do is to paint in the grooves with a different color to make the words stand out.

I told you it was easy to make them!

These Halloween tombstones, however, are going to be light weight. What you are going to have to be concerned about is that when you place them in your yard, you don’t want the wind blowing them away. Styrofoam could definitely blow away very easily.

One of the best ways to keep them in place would be to use tent stakes that you can put into the bottom of your tombstones and then down into the ground. The stakes should hold them upright and also hold them in place when the wind blow starts blowing.

Your Halloween tombstones could also be vulnerable to rain or snow, but you can’t do much about that – just watch for storm forecasts and take them in when you feel it’s needed.

If you don’t want to make your own tombstone props and you can’t find any in your local stores, you can usually find it by searching on the internet at one of the big  Halloween online stores.

Below you will see a video of how a guy uses power tools to attain the shape of the tombstone, which if you own one of these tools, it would make it a much faster project.  The bottom video shows how to paint the tombstone and make an epitaph on it …
