FABULOUS WRITER!

This book is hysterical! This author is so talented...not only does he write the book (and the ideas are tremendous), but he also illustrated the whole thing (and the pictures are little black and white cartoons that make you laugh out loud!). I would recommend this book to not only Halloween fans like myself (and such great ideas inside this book if you love to have fun with scaring the wits out of the older kids...no small ones, could be a father waiting in the wings), but to people who want a good laugh and some great ideas. Wonderful book - A+!

If you buy only one book this Halloween, this is it.

I looked at several books on this subject and found this to be the one. Great price! It has everything that expensive books have. The book contains all the great Haunted House Tricks(Pepper's Ghost). Great illustrations! It explains how it is done and shows you how to do it. I found the book very easy to follow. In a land, where everyone from Knott's Berry Farm, Universal Studios, The Queen Mary, Non-Profit Organizations, back and front yard amateurs that have some kind of haunted house attraction; this is the book to help you compete.

Lots of Fun!

I loved this book! It had a lot of great ideas for haunted houses, scenes, decorations and costumes. I especially liked the step-by-step directions to building your own corpse! If you want to inject some real fun into your Halloween and jump-start your activities, then this is the book for you!

A "Must Have" For Any Home Halloween Decorator

This book doesn't have beautiful color pictures; it doesn't have a lot of pages (only 128); and it doesn't even have the greatest ideas. But it does have 3 things that make it worth buying: 1) Lots and lots of ideas (simple, yes, but some are worth noting). 2) Fantastic and silly sketches. 3) A cheap price. This alone makes it 5 stars in my book. Lots of ideas covering props, effects, costumes, scenes, tricks, and more. Use it as an aid toward developing your own, better ideas.
