The author, born on All Hallows Eve, tells of her childhood and how Halloween used to be, safely going door to door with goody bags. She weaves in charming anecdotes of her dad's and uncle's versions of how Halloween came to be, and with humor and wit relates the real lowdown, including the legend of the Jack O'Lantern.A born party planner, she gives endless ideas for kid's and adult parties, emphasizing safety and creativity into parties that range from the simple to the complex, including advice on how to delegate tasks among friends and relatives for some big Halloween blowouts.An entire chapter is devoted to online links, from a YouTube Monster Mash video, to sites for makeup and supplies, to templates for carving pumpkins.Planning a Halloween party? This is a must read! And if you weren't thinking in that direction, you will be after reading this book. Highly recommended.
