Massive list of DIY Halloween props. Was just looking at this and daydreaming the other day (and cursing the fact that I live in an apt on the 18th floor).

This year for some reason I have been thinking about Halloween quite a bit. Maybe because I wrote a bit on it for the magazine. Dunno.

I do enjoy the holiday (widely-celebrated pagan holiday? Hell yeah!), but I hate the actual day because, like most holidays, it seems to boil down to an excuse for stupid people to drive drunk. Maybe I'll dress up this year, though.

Maybe.

That is a great website Ryan!!! I've picked out a couple of projects that I will be doing.

Both of you are welcome to come and help me play in my yard!! :)

I started getting ready about a month ago, but Halloween has always been a big day for me. Check out my photos for this year's preparations so-far.

Also you can see some of my previous halloween deco, I'm particularly proud of the Pirate themed one (2003). http://www.myclownfish.com/ampherion/gallery/Holidays/

Mike - your ghost ship is pretty cool!!

One of the big differences in what we are doing is we are taking one theme and slowly building it bigger and bigger each year. That and its really only for trick or treaters - its set up like a haunted house where you walk through and get scared with treats at the end!! We have really cool treats this year too. No candy just glow in the dark bouncy balls as well as the glowing braclets or maybe necklaces like everyone loves!

We figured out most of our order last night and also what we need to be building. Kevin and I each have an important project!
