<div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>"Illuminated Eyes"</b></div><br />
You may be familiar with our “<a href="http://www.lightformproductions.com/siteterroreyes1and2.html">TerrorEyes</a>” I & II DVDs which allow you to put animated, moving eyes with soundtracks into your windows. If you want to add many windows with stagnant yet scary eyes, we’ve provided high resolution images of all of our TerrorEyes for a free download at: <a href="http://booityourself.com/HalloweenEyes/">http://booityourself.com/HalloweenEyes/</a><br />
At this page, you will see nine different eyes that you can download:<br />
<br />
Each of the eyes is in an 8.5x11 inch (standard letter size) pdf file. Note that some images are vertical and others horizontal, but they ALL will print out in standard profile mode. You do NOT need to change the print to landscape mode. Following this project’s instructions, we’ve placed two eye prints for your immediate convenience.<br />
<br />
You can make your very own creepy illuminated eyes to peep out of your windows<br />
for Halloween...or any time of the year if you really want to keep your neighbors<br />
up all night throughout the year!<br />
<br />
Basically, you're going to print out 2 copies of any of the nine Halloween EYE images provided at <a href="http://booityourself.com/HalloweenEyes/">http://booityourself.com/HalloweenEyes/</a><br />
<br />
You'll then either allow your ambient room lighting to illuminate the peepers or make a simple light-box for each.<br />
<br />
STEP 0) PRINT<br />
Use a color ink-jet or laser printer to print out one or two or however many you wish to have in your various windows. If your printer allows you to print boarder-less, then go boarder-less!! <br />
<br />
There's two ways to use your Eyes. If you simply want to use a nearby room lamp to illuminate those babies, then you will merely need to surround the eyes with opaque blackness to seal the window off so that nothing other than the eye can be seen from outside<br />
<br />
METHOD A – Using Ambient room lighting:<br />
<br />
METHOD A STEP 1) Get Material<br />
You can either get some black poster board or, my favorite and least expensive, just get a large black trash bag. Unless you have a really thick bag, most bags are not completely opaque, so leave the bag in-tact (doubled-up). <br />
<br />
METHOD A STEPs 2 & 3) Trace and Cut <br />
Lay out either the poster board or plastic. Cut the piece so that it fits your window. Then<br />
locate where in the frame of the window you want your eyes. Then cut out holes to tape your eyes into. The holes can either fit the eye perfectly, or you can cut out approximately a 7.5 inch by 9.5 inch square to accommodate the 8.5 x 11 inch eye print. Make sure the black poster board or plastic bag covers any white boarder on the print if your printer left one on the image.<br />
<br />
METHOD A STEP 4) TAPE Simply tape the eye prints onto the plastic or poster board.<br />
<br />
METHOD A STEP 5) Hang the whole thing in your window. Be sure to cover up any other windows nearby. <br />
<br />
METHOD A STEP 6) Finally, make sure you have a room light or nearby lamp on to illuminate your Eyes. Always play it safe and NEVER put a hot lamp too close to the plastic or poster board or paper images. Keep at least two feet away.<br />
<br />
METHOD B: Using home-made Light Boxes:<br />
<br />
METHOD B STEP 1) Now, if you want to make your own light boxes for the eyes, you'll need a small cardboard box for each eye. Shirt-boxes or shipping boxes work great. If you have a used United States Postal Shipping Box or FedEx Box, these are ideal!<br />
<br />
METHOD B STEP 2) CUT out the square or round hole for the eye prints.<br />
<br />
METHOD B STEP 3) PAINT You may want to spray paint the outside of the box black.<br />
<br />
METHOD B STEP 4) Hole for plug<br />
Cut a small hole on the side to pull the plug and cord through the box.<br />
<br />
METHOD B STEP 5) Light it up <br />
Once you have the image taped to the box, get some of your white Christmas lights out of storage. If they’re all tangled up like mine are every year, that's perfect. Just shove 'em into the box and make sure they're spread out somewhat evenly. Get an extension cord to plug them in.<br />
<br />
METHOD B STEP 6) TAPE the print to the box.<br />
<br />
METHOD B STEP 7) TAPE the contraption to the window using packing tape.<br />
<br />
If you want an EXTRA BIG effect, separate the eyes across two nearby windows.<br />
<br />
Remember, you can do this trick with different pairs of eyes in many different windows or doors or any location throughout your house or yard!<br />

Those cheapskates out there in home-improvement have unintentionally created some great things to re-purpose for Halloween. One of the cheapest and my favorite is clear plastic drop cloth. They keep making it thinner and thinner and thinner. Which makes it perfect for super inexpensive Halloween fluff. (Never ever use this to put over people's heads for Halloween ghost costumes or anything at all. Don't be a dead dummy this Halloween...instead...use it on dummies!) You can use it for curtains or on props. It's whispy and perfect for blowing....use a couple fans to blow it about. Shred it for hanging curtains. Drape it over the props to add an eerie ectoplasmic layer. Make sure you have a nearby fan to make the dead tissue come alive! Look for the thinnest cloth available. Anything over 1 millimeter is too thick and too heavy to blow and flutter. I found three giant sheets of .7 mil plastic drop-cloth for a dollar 30 at Wal-mart. This is the most bang per Halloween buck you can have outside of the totally free stuff like tree limbs. Cheap plastic sheets for Halloween. That's a wrap!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">We don't want to bore you with news that's just not new...in fact..it's pretty old...but we found these fun-facts too interesting to let slip by....<br />
<br />
Ever wonder why costumes are worn on Halloween?<br />
The ancient Celts thought that spirits and ghosts roamed the countryside on Halloween night. They began wearing masks and costumes to avoid being recognized as human.<br />
<br />
Tootsie Rolls were the first wrapped penny candy in America.<br />
<br />
Jack O’ Lanterns originated in Ireland where people placed candles in hollowed-out turnips to keep away spirits and ghosts on the Samhain holiday.<br />
<br />
More than 35 million pounds of candy corn will be produced this year. That equates to nearly 9 billion pieces – enough to circle the moon nearly 4 times if laid end-to-end. <br />
And for my taste...they can go ahead and send that candy corn into space.<br />

We're gonna get ritzy tonight! And we're straying a little into Martha's territory, but she needs a good scare. Here's how to create The BEST, most elegant Halloween table cloth:<br />
Go to the fabric store and get the cheapest RED or GREEN or PURPLE cloth you can find...enough to cover your table. Then, purchase some black lace fabric to drape over the top of it.<br />

Voila....it's the ghoulest!<br />

Forget the candy poisoning on Halloween...if you seen our previous story, you know that it's an urban myth. What is NOT a myth is the spreading<br />
of a lot of germs on Halloween...that can easily get your kids or<br />
you down with a cold. Bring along a small bottle of that germ killer gel...<br />
you can apply it maybe every 2 or three blocks if necessary.<br />
Remember....it keeps working while on the hands,,,so there's no need to get carried away. Just remember....a lot of kids pick up candy and throw it back into the bowl. Now that's a Halloween Horror!<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.bigscreamtv.com/">Ultimate Revolutionary Halloween Multi-Media </a></div><div style="text-align: left;">One of my favorite haunts before Halloween hits is the dollar store or the thrift store. Aside from getting you costume at the thrift store, there's so many great things you can get. From the thrift store, get a bunch of clear glass-wear and set up you own mad scientist scene by filling them with colred water and perhaps<br />
running a fish-tank air hose into a couple. </div><div style="text-align: left;">The dollar or 99 cent store is a goldmine for candles and cheap Halloween decorations. I always thought it was a good place to haunt....but I went in the other day and found out that they have really gone ALL OUT. I saw decorations in there that i've never seen in the pricey Halloween stores. Many were perfect as-is. Some were great to use in other projects. And the best part is, you never have to flip over that scary price-tag and get sticker shock. Everything is a buck!

If you really want to go the extra yard this Halloween, discriminate with your treats! Parents can't wait to drag...I mean bring...their infants and toddlers trick or treating....but who on earth would give a 1 year old a hard candy or chocolate bar? Oh sure...the parents' secret plan is to eat it...nice try....you can thwart their efforts by having a few infant-friendly<br />
treats like animal crackers or teddy grahams or other soft cookies or crackers. Most companies now make these in single serving packs for taking to school...why not take 'em to Ghoul!?Halloween News Networkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17104610467654003251noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025480381711764766.post-52028930015880667062010-10-11T21:41:00.000-07:002010-10-11T21:41:27.276-07:00SCARbucks Coffee to Treat the Parents of the Tricksters This Halloween<div align="center"><iframe frameborder="0" height="480" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/15759605" width="640"></iframe><br />

If you're a real neighbor pleaser....you can get in good with everybody and be the talk of the graveyard if you have a little folding table outside on the lawn with your own little coffee station for the neighbors. Maybe even hot chocolate for the kids. People will be just dying for a drink at about this time! Perhaps also keep a tub of those tiny party-sized waters handy.<br />
You will be the toast of the town. Just keep your little adult lemonade stand away from the doorway...I set mine up at the end of the walk where all of the parents usually congregate while there little monsters head for the door!

<div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.booityourself.com/">Boo-It-Yourself! </a></div><div style="text-align: left;">I can't tell you how many people's yards scare me these days....and NOT in a good way. They have cool decorations, but then they use big old white flood lights and wash the whole place out! REAL SCARY folks. The christmas crowd is usually the worst!<br />
Here's a few simple tips:<br />
1) USE Color spot or flood lights. GREEN is a perfect color for Halloween<br />
2) If you can find 'em, choose a SPOT LIGHT rather than a FLOOD<br />
light. The box will say what it is. Believe ir or not, they are different.<br />
Flood lights will FLOOD the area with light whereas spot lights will direct the beam towards whatever you want to be illuminated. That way you can still keep other areas dark...and the contrast in the yard<br />
will be spooktacular! </div></div>Halloween News Networkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17104610467654003251noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025480381711764766.post-25280142863366598472010-10-11T21:19:00.000-07:002010-10-11T21:19:28.256-07:00The Most Crowd Pleasing, Stunning Halloween Illusion EVER! --Floating Hologram-like Ghost Head!<div align="center"><iframe frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/15759722" width="640"></iframe><br />

<a href="http://www.lightformproductions.com/sitebstvvol1-3.html">Floating Ghost Heads</a><br />
Up until now...One of the most Fangtastic ghostly illusions could be seen almost exclusively<br />
in professional haunted houses like the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland...the illusion<br />
is seeing ghosts transparently floating about. Did you know that this trick...also known as "Pepper's Ghost" from a stage play in the 1800s, is also where the term "smoke and mirrors" came from?<br />
Well..hold tight...because now you can do this crowd stopping blow-em-away trick at home without Smoke OR mirrors...and you will not need actors like the old days. Now...all you need is<br />
just a piece of inexpensive plastic and a TV set for the image! The trick is done by reflecting the image from the TV in the plastic. The viewers can see right through the image. It's a knock out every time! You can video tape yourself in scary make-up for playback<br />
on Halloween...or you can use the awesome effects images from BigScreamTV.com.<br />

For older kids and teens, use grapejuice or non-alcoholic wine bottles. These labels are bloody terrific!

Print the labels on either inkjet paper that has the adhesive on the back (for making labels) or you can use spray glue or spray mount to attach regular paper. If you do not use the adhesive label paper, you will have many types of paper to choose from. You can choose different colors or fancy paper with textures. Most copy shops will even sell these to you in individual sheets and they will have a little binder full of selections to choose from. Once you’ve chosen your paper and the labels, simply print the labels, cut them out, and paste them on. What a marvelous display and surprise they will make to top off the party! This is an extra “bite” of entertainment that will be a real scream at your “you’ve thought of everything” Halloween party! BLOODY Amazing, mate!</span></div><div style="font: normal normal normal 23px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br />

It's true! I've watched people run from room to room all over the house indoors and out bending over and plugging their illuminated decorations into wall sockets. You won't have to stoop that low if you want to invest in a set of X-10 Control Units. They're not dirt cheap, but you can use them for Halloween, Christmas, parties, or all the year long.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">You can get started for around 50 to 75 bucks...and these devices will serve you for years to come! You'll need at least one PLUG-IN RF UNIT. This is the "Base" module. You can plug one set of lights into it. This is usually ($20). You'll also need the a remote control which may be 12 to 20 dollars. You can usually buy the base with 1 remote as a package deal. for around 30 dollars. For each area that you would normally plug lights into, you will need another different type of module. We recommend an X10 Appliance Module 3-Pin . These are typically ($10).</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Nowadays for all you super geeks... You can even get an Iphone or I-pad apps to control these babies...and you can get really fancy controlling different rooms and adding other modules like dimmer modules and timers. But let's get back to our story for us simple boys and ghouls.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">When you have your base, remote control, and appliance modules, Just follow the instructions that come with each device. It should be as simple as</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">1) put batteries in the remote.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">2) Plug in the base module into a wall socket. You may also plug in the lights in that room that you want to control INTO the base module.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">3) Go to another room or location. Plug the appliance module into the wall socket. Plug the lights that are nearby into that module.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">4) Make sure that the control dials on every device are at the same settings so that your remote will control these devices.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Now...with the press of the on or off button, you can control all of your lights!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">A tip on where to get these:</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Locally at Radio Shack, Fry's electronics, or most electronics centers.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">or, search on-line for the best deal. X10.com and Smarthome.com are two popular sellers.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I love these things! I never have to leave the couch or my candy bowl!</span></div><div><br />

It's the most boo-per-buck out there! You can get stuff for Halloween Illusions, Halloween Parties, Halloween Effects, Halloween Lights, Halloween multi-media! Need I go on? Most of the dollar stores (or 99 cent stores) will have those cheap jack-o-lantern treat buckets. (This application is probably far safer than using those things to hold edible candy!) They're usually close to a foot in diameter with the usual orange plastic container, black eyes and a black carrying strap. We can covert a pile of these into a great walkway illuminator! Get maybe ten or so. Take one of your strings of clear C7 Christmas lights. You're going to use these to make a string of illuminated pumpkins. Get the tool wielder of the house to drill some 1/2 inch holes in the bottom center of each plastic jack-o-lantern. Then unscrew every second or thrid c7 bulb from the string, put the jack-o-lantern on the string, and rescrew the bulb back in. With the light sockets in between, either insert orange c7 bulbs, or unscrew the lights so they do not light up.</span></div></div><div style="font: 23.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />

<br />
</div>Tonight we shed some light on a cool trick. <br />
Have you ever wondered how you can inexpensively and eerily flicker and flutter the lights in your castle ...or home? Sure, there's super expensive light flicker devices out there, but if you want to cheaply flicker your lights to create either a faltering electrical power look with indoor or outdoor lights... or you want to create a flickering fire effect, then listen up.<br />
You're gonna need:<br />
1) A flame flickering C7 bulb (typically for faux candelabras)<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg2gVxJ_72pn2HzjjcUWmwJcjFKP3tXYliCgZjBNySuXATFyUMHKld4qrJofm-rJcmYpbxxBQk042vuPVsbFKiRNjkxkyVSMZNuO2ON44nvJXvATH7U_h73iiTRTl7Kkyu3T72Bs_huVDw/s1600/FlickerLamp.jpg" imageanchor="1" linkindex="21" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg2gVxJ_72pn2HzjjcUWmwJcjFKP3tXYliCgZjBNySuXATFyUMHKld4qrJofm-rJcmYpbxxBQk042vuPVsbFKiRNjkxkyVSMZNuO2ON44nvJXvATH7U_h73iiTRTl7Kkyu3T72Bs_huVDw/s200/FlickerLamp.jpg" width="142" /></a></div><br />
2) A C7 nightlight socket<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX7AawvBs8tDWzxGkCdhdaCqDGgMT_zUWuM__Wqz5emZjwU2ONgl6SGE5kIaABofkGzOLzGbP0C3BoJAoxvexlPBT9bDoiEV_nG4_JsK0gHOwOpJGw6lShiTJgbAS5i-36jo3ybppSzkhi/s1600/C7socket.jpg" imageanchor="1" linkindex="22" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX7AawvBs8tDWzxGkCdhdaCqDGgMT_zUWuM__Wqz5emZjwU2ONgl6SGE5kIaABofkGzOLzGbP0C3BoJAoxvexlPBT9bDoiEV_nG4_JsK0gHOwOpJGw6lShiTJgbAS5i-36jo3ybppSzkhi/s200/C7socket.jpg" width="176" /></a></div><br />
3) A photocell power socket<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRtyWdixQivhpDsdBgrUOTs3mijgnQKYxdmgme5IX6aDEXXaW3_b592fehLuMYu69Yc9kqeGy4cNFRPBVbxRNt46wIP2JE3vfB3DHhGNaGr2PNpPhBQnRHr5roMMPm9poz5M1sXkxN3ZMc/s1600/photosensor.jpg" imageanchor="1" linkindex="23" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRtyWdixQivhpDsdBgrUOTs3mijgnQKYxdmgme5IX6aDEXXaW3_b592fehLuMYu69Yc9kqeGy4cNFRPBVbxRNt46wIP2JE3vfB3DHhGNaGr2PNpPhBQnRHr5roMMPm9poz5M1sXkxN3ZMc/s320/photosensor.jpg" /></a></div><br />
4) two extension cords<br />
5) An enclosure like a shoebox.<br />
<br />
<br />
When Light hits the photocell, it switches off.<br />
When flickering light hits it...it flickers the power that it is allowing through it.<br />
<br />
a) Plug your photocell into the extension cord.<br />
b) Plug the extension cord into a power supply<br />
c) Put the flickering bulb into the nightlight.<br />
d) Plug the nightlight into another extension cord plugged into a power supply.<br />
e) Place the flickering bulb near the photosensor....close enough to cause<br />
it to flicker. You must experiment for like 3 seconds here. You will clearly<br />
be able to see when it's working. Do this in a dimly lit room.<br />
f) Plug the lamps that you want to flicker into the photocell socket.<br />
g) tape down your gadget inside a box to keep ambient light from messing with your masterpiece. <br />
<br />
Shut the lid...and voila. Remember, if this gizmo is going outside, use a plastic weather proof enclosure and a ground fault interrupter at your power source.<br />
<br />
Now you can run up to 300 watts of firepower through this baby....making<br />
your house windows flicker all the live long night.Halloween News Networkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17104610467654003251noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025480381711764766.post-17072879768421049882010-09-07T13:30:00.000-07:002010-09-07T13:31:45.955-07:00Make an Eeri Disorienting Glowing Walkway for Halloween<div align="center"><br />

<br />
In dizzying news tonight---<br />
If you are using black-light for cool glowing stuff…this is a MUST!<br />
Make a glowing walkway!!! What’s particularly wild about this effect is that we are used to walking on dark (non-illuminated) surfaces, so when we introduce a glowing, luminescent walkway, it’s almost like you feel like you’re “hovering” as you walk. You don’t feel “secure” or “grounded!” It’s a little disorienting. It’s a GREAT feeling to give to your Halloween guests! Keep ‘em a little “off balance."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRzQEjvV_VOb_ZMsnHvaptabKuYfkD9RTCbeFbqTIHA43KJFUZAYvC5pT02BNWaYTKtGk6Z5JVqkpDusUrEZZKNa5cAhg2pB_0eKgjYg-h5QXwmH7kF1Oh2NlCr4ZlELeltRbnJf1Rt94z/s1600/GlowingWalkPix.jpg" imageanchor="1" linkindex="27" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRzQEjvV_VOb_ZMsnHvaptabKuYfkD9RTCbeFbqTIHA43KJFUZAYvC5pT02BNWaYTKtGk6Z5JVqkpDusUrEZZKNa5cAhg2pB_0eKgjYg-h5QXwmH7kF1Oh2NlCr4ZlELeltRbnJf1Rt94z/s320/GlowingWalkPix.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Get a roll of brown paper from the home center---you'll probably find some in the paint or drop cloth section. This paper is the same kind used to make brown paper bags. We got a thirty foot roll for our long walkway.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfz4cPF8dQ_JnCic87_d9HCmy3IjR3ABA0XX7igJ1pU-0GmK2Kb7RaJX9yCUEXwFtwFXiqKnhGLyKsL27lA_5xGC-m9nqvaqET6lNqasad6ONQS-dC8JdoDYIjbtEYeO8n5NrtWl7w4OY7/s1600/Proll.jpg" imageanchor="1" linkindex="28" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfz4cPF8dQ_JnCic87_d9HCmy3IjR3ABA0XX7igJ1pU-0GmK2Kb7RaJX9yCUEXwFtwFXiqKnhGLyKsL27lA_5xGC-m9nqvaqET6lNqasad6ONQS-dC8JdoDYIjbtEYeO8n5NrtWl7w4OY7/s320/Proll.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Next, get a stack of fluorescent 8.5x11 sheets of paper from the office supply center. You should be able to find a pack with multiple colors if you want many colors. While you're at the office store, also get a can of spray glue---also known as spray mount. Cut the fluorescent sheets in half to make "bricks."<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvKdm7fLzp_WRbbM4WWkHo4htic0gbWOliWCwqEV4GI4GOhRn_MvIzgZTNxyvuo-SBjvZbP9IRzmDKM_e9ndNmnTsGJsqk8I26TUzfzWjskadtehNfXEx8oFi9jRgiZTvc8IOnoDfVN4A4/s1600/CutAndSpray.jpg" imageanchor="1" linkindex="29" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvKdm7fLzp_WRbbM4WWkHo4htic0gbWOliWCwqEV4GI4GOhRn_MvIzgZTNxyvuo-SBjvZbP9IRzmDKM_e9ndNmnTsGJsqk8I26TUzfzWjskadtehNfXEx8oFi9jRgiZTvc8IOnoDfVN4A4/s320/CutAndSpray.jpg" /></a></div><br />

Next lay the bricks...I mean glue each brick in alternating rows on your roll of paper. Just spray the back of each half sheet thoroughly and press it down. Secure the finished walkway to your sidewalk using duct tape along the sides.

In not so sweet news tonight:<br />
Hey, I love candy on Halloween, but who said that treats must be candy? There are some cool alternatives...and NO I am not talking about handing out cards or pamphlets or even crayons. That's as bad as socks on Christmas morning. Here's some better ideas:<br />
Play-Doh ---they now have treat sized containers. Now that's Ghoul!<br />
Also hand out your piles of loose change...you know...the coins. I have drawers full of coins.<br />
You can also hand out party favors like poppers and small toys from the party stores. The parents are going to love you....at least until they step on those jacks.Halloween News Networkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17104610467654003251noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025480381711764766.post-74041048248802833972010-09-06T09:27:00.000-07:002010-09-06T09:27:43.237-07:00Random Halloween Candy Poisoning is Urban Legend, Myth<div align="center"><object height="385" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/J3IYj6HK_6o?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/J3IYj6HK_6o?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object></div><br />

In breaking the widespread myth news tonight: We're going to call this story comfort food.<br />
Did you know that most of the scares, and stories about Halloween poisoning are mostly myth--urban legend, modern folklore, urban myth? Only a few have ever happened, and we're terrified to report that they were inside cases done by relatives! Thanks to the main stream media--everyone is running scared on Halloween--many don't trick or treat anymore. It's your choice, but I encourage you to check this out at Snopes.com That site is Boorific! Whenever you have a question about a hoax, urban myth, or want to find out if something is hogwash--particularly those creepy emails my friends like to send around that scare me to death...then check it out at SNOPES.COM More people die of food poisoning from reputable restaurants every year than Halloween candy...well..that's not accurate...because typically NO ONE falls victim to poisoned Halloween candy. It's an urban myth.

Welcome to the Frightly Evening News--I'm Justin Grave, and I'm thrilled to report that there's one totally free no-cost, stupendous Halloween decoration that everyone should have, and very few do.<br />
Dead Tree branches! Use small ones inside to add to centerpieces and arrangements, but also get some larger branches to tie up outside around your entry ways. The size is only limited by your strength and the size of your car. Scout out the streets...you'll suddenly be amazed at how many are lying around dead out there! Here' a tip...bring along a portable battery saw or hacksaw. You can do some on-the-scene chopping and hacking to make sure your limbs fit in the car or truck...the tree limbs too!..ha..I kill me! Anyways... Once at home in arrangements or fastened to outdoor fixtures,' you can add spider webbing for even more Halloween Decoration Fun. decorating trees does not have to be just for Christmas!<br />

Ghoul evening everyone! Use TUL for Halloween...no not t o o l...t u l l e ...it's that white netting used mostly for bridal veils and gowns. It's that whispy white stuff. It typically is reactive to black light....so it's great to use for glowing tricks. Get a bolt of it. Shred it, tear it, rip it. Hang it across windows for curtains, put it in doorways. If it's in the windows or archways....tuck a fan away near-by to make it BLOW in the wind. TULLE--it's not just for weddings anymore!Halloween News Networkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17104610467654003251noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025480381711764766.post-54057639398664404032010-09-06T09:15:00.000-07:002010-09-07T13:52:51.532-07:00Huge Cheap Spider Web for Halloween Decoration<div align="center"><br />

Most white masking tape is reactive to black light so it will glow. If you're not using blacklight...it's still a super cheap and BIG decoration. Just make the<br />
web across windows or archways...wherever people will not be crossing! It's a Halloween mask of a whole different dimension!</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">We can't stress safety enough on Halloween. Most everyone is aware of safety with your trick-or-treaters, but very few take safety precautions with their outside decorating to make sure their visitors are safe. Invest in a few GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTERS! Wherever the main power outlets are that you plug your outdoor decorations into, make sure you place one of these GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTERS at the outlet. It pretty much looks like a plug with a socket in it.<br />
This will make sure that if there's any short in any line the power will be cut dead...better that than your guests. The electrical short may be because of water.... may be because a little kid is sticking his finger into a light socket... no matter. The device acts like a circuit breaker and ...uh umm...breaks the circuit. It can easily be reset. More easily than resetting one of your trick or treaters.<br />
Practice Safety in your electrical decorations and effects this Halloween!</div></div>Halloween News Networkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17104610467654003251noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025480381711764766.post-69343729597364887122010-09-02T16:25:00.000-07:002010-09-02T16:25:02.663-07:00Making Edible Fake Dirt For Halloween Decorations and Games<div align="center"><div style="text-align: left;"><object height="385" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/e1Iqsx_hsgk?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/e1Iqsx_hsgk?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

We seldom get all oooey gooey here and we leave the food stuff up to the home-maker types...but...we want to mention how to make edible dirt! We've done fake blood...so let's dig into some<br />
fake dirt! If you want a base for some cool centerpiece graveyards on the table, or on a cake...or you want to make DIRT CUPS for the kiddies, just get either OREOS or hard chocolate cookies or chocolate graham crackers...and CRUSH THEM...I mean really lay into them..get a roller. smash them! ...Now that's edible dirt. If you do the cup thing...get clear plastic cups and be sure to bury some gummy worms or other assorted treats in there. Better yet...for a great party game....provide 0the kids with the sutff and let them dig their own grave...i mean fill their own party treat cups! It's a dirty trick, but someone's got to do it!</div></div>Halloween News Networkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17104610467654003251noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025480381711764766.post-86828448726743836392010-09-01T21:07:00.000-07:002010-09-02T16:27:20.059-07:00Edible Fake Blood for Halloween Decorating, Make-Up, Oozing<div align="center"><br />

We're pretty sure the Party and holiday shops already hate us because we've blown their cover and have shown people how to do cool Halloween tricks for very low cost. Well...here's another cheap trick. Don't pay an arm and a claw for fake blood at the Halloween shops ....my gord...you'll need to donate blood to pay for that fake stuff! Instead---Just get some black cherry gelatin. Add corn syrup and only a little water for thick blood, and more water for thinner, runnier blood. It's bloody fantastic! And it's edible & non-toxic...well..that's if you consider gelatin to be either edible or non-toxic!<br />
I'm getting all wiggly inside.</div><div style="text-align: left;">If you want to make washable NON-EDIBLE fake blood, then just mix in some dish soap or laundry detergent into the concoction. That's an age-old theater trick!</div>Halloween News Networkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17104610467654003251noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025480381711764766.post-58136067227770638212010-09-01T09:53:00.000-07:002010-09-02T16:28:13.361-07:00Dress Up or Pimp Out Your Pumpkin<div align="center"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Costumes aren't just for people anymore....they're for pumpkins too! Why not use them as props in your pumpkin decorating? Add an eye patch, an earing, or a witch hat! Also "pimp out" the pumpkin with "bling." We've pretty much seen it all in carvings, so this will give new life to this age-old tradition. </div><div style="text-align: left;">And another thing! TRY THIS!---Turn your pumpkin on its side and use the stem for a nose!!!</div><br />
