It's almost here, the big night!! Unlike a lot of people, we are having our party on Halloween even though it falls on a week night. Next year it will be on Friday so the whole week-end can be party! But for now, we'll deal with this year.

The house is more or less decorated. Still some things to make. A couple of Halloween wreaths will be nice. I found the instructions here. I also did their idea for a black Halloween tree that I found at Halloween Online's Decorations section. They had a bunch of new stuff on their website this year and it really helped give me ideas for the party!

I'll be trying the idea for a lighted punch bowl that they have in the Recipes section, too. It's going to be a great Halloween party this year!

It's finally here!! October 1st!! I love this time of year!! Autumn is beautiful, leaves start to change colors, the night air is crisp and cool. Best of all, Halloween is right around the corner!! We've started unboxing our Halloween decorations and are really going to go to town. I could leave this stuff up all year long!

We've been planning our annual Halloween party for months and it's all starting to take shape. This will be THE BEST year ever for our Halloween party!! I was looking around Halloween Online's party section and found the theme for this years Halloween party. I'm not going to say what it is in case anyone tht's been invited reads this. You'll just have to wait like everyone else!

We are even going to have a pre-Halloween party for our friends that will be helping us out with the party and haunt this year. We're going to host Halloween Film-Fest with a night of scary movies and snacks. It will be on Friday, October 26th. starting at 6:00pm.

I went to FearfulFilms.com for some movie suggestions and decided to stick with modern classics and will show two of the John Carpenter "Halloween" movies, Halloween 1 and 2. We may stick "Halloween 3: Season of the Witch" in there if the party keeps going. While costumes for the film fest will be optional, we are suggesting dressing up like characters from the Halloween movies. I'm going as Laurie and my hubby is going to be Michael Myers. I think I'll see if I can get a couple of my girlfriends to go as Annie and Linda, after Michael's hacked them up.
