About this title

Synopsis

This “entertaining” guide features “Halloween trends past and present...costumes, recipes, movies, parties, myths and expeditions” (Publishers Weekly).
 
What is the difference between a goblin and a ghoul? What's the recipe for pumpkin soup? Where can you see the oldest Halloween parade in the United States? Have you ever wondered how to keep your carved pumpkin from decaying too quickly? If you're looking for information and instructions about every aspect of Halloween, you've come to the right place. A Halloween How-To is packed with ideas for October 31. There are fifty great costumes you can make yourself, recipes for everything from fake blood to pumpkin soup, and lists of great movies, CDs, and spooky books. Author Lesley Bannatyne has even assembled a number of games drawn from early twentieth-century Halloween celebrations and includes sample text for party invitations.
 
“This how-to offers everything anyone would ever want to know about All Hallows Eve. . . . A useful reference for both the growing population of adults who revel in Halloween and folks who seek to make the trick-or-treat experience a little more harrowing for unsuspecting children in costume.” ―Booklist
