Product Description
Here in one extra-large, idea-packed, fun-filled book is everything anybody will ever want to know about autumn's favorite holiday. Mixing a delightful text with highly atmospheric color illustrations, The Big Book of Halloween Fun presents ideas for games to play at Halloween parties, recounts tidbits of Halloween history and spooky Halloween jokes, gives directions for making original costumes, offers recipes for party foods and treats, features songs and poems with Halloween themes, tells scary ghost stories, and suggests party ideas. A fascinating collection of Halloween-related folklore includes legends, love spells, and traditional ways to find out whether one's love will be true and lasting or chaotic and strife-torn. Here too are directions for making great Halloween party invitation cards with pop-up ghosts, as well as pumpkin-and-chocolate truffles to serve at that party. Kids, grownups, and everybody who enjoys celebrating Halloween will find great ideas for hours of supernatural fun and eerie entertainment. Full-color illustrations throughout.

This review is from: The Big Book of Halloween Fun (Paperback)
I expected much more. Most of the content is common and trite geared more toward children rather than adult entertaining. Costume suggestions are ridiculously dull (a witch, bad fairy, zombie, etc.). The only part somewhat interesting is the recipe segment with colorful photos. However, I have seen most of these recipes published on the net. I would not buy this book again and I certainly would not recommend it.
Listmania!
