Product Description

From Amazon

As a regular on TV's Bewitched, Kasey Rogers (Louise Tate) has the right pedigree to produce Halloween Crafts: Eerily Elegant Decor. She and coauthor Mark Wood have dreamed up some pretty innovative approaches to such timeworn Halloween delights as pumpkin carving, table decorating, and party giving. Rather than limit carving to traditional orange pumpkins, they offer devilish red imps made of bumpy gourds and green glow-stick eyes, or a jaunty goblin king carved of green hubbard squash. A decrepit old butler figure presides over the "graveyard tea," and the "harvest of skulls" centerpiece features a tower of grinning plastic skulls topped with drippy black (electric) candles. A quartet of simple recipes makes up the "Boo-fey," along with two versions of punch contributed by another Bewitched alumnus, Bernard Fox (Dr. Bombay). The home-snapshot quality of the photographs is the one weak spot in this otherwise commendable book. Still, enough details are generally visible to help clarify the occasionally confusing directions, and the step-by-steps are mostly adequately explained. A source list provides contact information for the harder-to-find items. --Amy Handy

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Ideas that are different from the rest July 16 2004
By J P Snipes
Format:Paperback
I really liked this book. Instead of the too cute stuff you find in so many Halloween idea books, this one has some "bones" to it!Great ideas for using life size skulls to create dramatic light fixtures, the directions are straight forward and easy to follow. I've done several of the skull candle holders and am currently working on the wax dripped candle on the stack of books. It is definitely worth the price for this great book!

2.0 out of 5 stars It's exactly what it says Oct 26 2003
By Bonnie
Format:Paperback
It is exactly as the title reads both"eerie and elegant" but not scary or anything I would like. I guess I was just disappointed that there was "just" elegant decorations for Halloween. Most were decorations that would be great if you had a love for old fashioned almost antique type decorating. Not a book for someone looking to "scare up" any modern ideas for decorating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely one for the Halloween junkie July 12 2003
By Tracy Hoffmann
Format:Paperback
If you love Halloween and are looking for something different, this book is one for your shelf. There are clever ideas that can be taken to the next level. Try the gourd goblins! I made about 30 of these (after finally finding the right gourds) and people were begging to buy them from me. Can't imagine what the reviewer who was singing Marth Stewart's praises could be on about. The ideas in her book are really tired compared to some of these. Also check out Hocus Pocus: Halloween Crafts for a Spooktacular Holiday by Martingale and Company.
