Let's take a closer look at PartyHalloween:

 

Halloween Party Invitations

No doubt about it, a good invitation is the best way to kick-off any Halloween party. No need to go to the store and buy expensive invitations. Simply personalize, print and send any of the ready-to-go invitations and you've got the party started! In PartyHalloween you'll find wonderful options to lure guests to your festivities, set the tone for what a great party they can expect, and create a sense of excitement. Be sure to give guests plenty of notice about your party, ideally two weeks. If costumes are expected, be sure to write that on the invitation.

Halloween Party Decorations

Not Martha Stewart? No problem! With PartyHalloween we'll show you how to transform your home into a spooky, creepy fun house in just an hour or two. On a budget? No problem! Use our decorating ideas and save $$. Decorating for a party can be frustrating. The easy way is to just hang orange and black common crepe paper and call it a day. But why settle? Or… If you believe some Halloween books, you should take countless days to create elaborate decorations that are only going to last a few hours. Who has time for that??

Halloween Party Costumes

Notice how the store-bought costumes are starting to all look alike? On Halloween you want to stand out in the crowd and be an original. Try any one of our dozens of unique costume ideas by Suzanne Singleton and Sarah Briggs and you'll get rave reviews!

Halloween Party Games

How many times have you gone to what promises to be a great Halloween party only to stand around and find after 15 minutes of checking out everyone's costumes. . . you're bored!

What's needed are games to get guests up and moving and involved with each other! Do expect a certain level of protests when you bring up the idea of playing games. Somewhere along the way to adulthood, many folks lost their sense of play. But do not be discouraged! Persevere. Persuade a couple of folks to play one of the simple games and soon others will want to join in. Before you know it, your guests will be laughing and having more fun then they've had at ANY party they've ever attended!

Rediscover old favorites updated with a Halloween twist!

Take bingo for an example. Boring? Predictable? No way! Try Willie Ripple's Halloween Bingo and you'll discover a new love for the game. Just print and play with the five card templates in PartyHalloween and you've got the beginning of fun!

Halloween Party Food

One thing everyone loves to do at a party is eat! In this chapter we offer some ... well, unusual items to serve at your Halloween party.

A simple way to enhance your food display is to use table cards printed with the name of the item. If you have a spooky font to use on the card, all the better. Be sure to use some of Sarah Briggs' "Quick Decorations" on your table (see p. 13 in PartyHalloween) and you're well on your way to a terror-ific party!

Everybody has candy corn and popcorn balls at their party...big deal! Use the ideas in this book and they'll talk about your party for years to come. Imagine the reaction you'll get when your guests are cheerfully invited to feast on "Eyeballs" or on Normal and Abnormal "Brains."

If they're true Halloween fans, they'll devour their first helping and beg for more!

I love the costume ideas, lol! I choose "Catnap", a very easy and funny costume with stuff from around the house. PJ's, a pillow, blanket, alarm clock, cat ears, makeup, and done. I even bought some cat's eyes contact lenses for added feline effect! Thanks for the wonderful ideas!

Thanks to PartyHalloween this years' party will be the best ever! Printing the invitations in the eBook saved me enough money to PAY for my purchase...and they're just perfect. I can't wait to use the rest of the great ideas in this book.

The food ideas are outrageous! My husband and I are hooked on the Buck-eyeballs:-) And the Leatherface's Menu spread is incredible. Our guests will remember our Halloween party for years to come!

Xtreme Halloween Party Ideas	Tired of cute, happy smiling jack-o-lanterns? Ready for a party with an edge? Try our Gory Party theme and your guests will be horrified and delighted all at the same time! We found the ultimate extreme theme in John L. Burton's "Creating Gory Party Displays." Known in the haunted attraction industry as OSG (One Scary Guy), John presents seminars on this topic.
In Xtreme Halloween Party you'll find everything you need to throw a gory party including party themes, foods and food displays, practical party jokes, and games. For example . . . As the world goes topsy-turvy on Halloween, it's time to break out of the old routine and go a little wild, or as author Lesley Pratt Bannatyne calls it, "Extreme Halloween." We found the ultimate extreme theme in John L. Burton's "Creating Gory Party Displays."
Delicious!	Gory Food Displays Inexpensive body parts can be reshaped to create serving bowls, trays, drink cups, etc. Slicing the top off a cut-off 'head' will make a great place to display the cauliflower for 'Cauliflower Brain.' A gelatin brain sitting on a cut-off head looks great, too. Bloody onion dip, ranch blood dip or blood 'n guts gelatin could be displayed in a carved out arm or leg. Narrow tall cups inserted into the stump of a cut-off arm and hand makes it look like you're drinking blood from a body part. Plus much more . . .
If you like your Halloween on the "extreme" side, give this a try. Your fiends...er, friends will just die when you invite them to play Gory Games such as "Suck Your Brains" or "Pin the Heart on the Dead Guy." We'll tell you how to transform gelatin into an entire cateGORY . . . great for foods, decorations and games! Go wild with an Xtreme Halloween Party!

 

Beautifully illustrated, this menu is a collector's item for any self-respecting Halloween fan!

With tongue-in-cheek humor, Horror Hotel owner and proprietor David R. Lady offers his "guests" a full service menu. Breakfast finds such favorites as Fresh-squeezed organs juice, 2 eyes & bacon, and Scream of Wheat. Deadly Dinners offered include Fright Chicken, Flesh and Chips, and Blobster Newburg. If you prefer something less filling, try one of their "unappetizers" such as Horror D'oervres or Snails from the Crypt!
