Mummy wrap: 2 teams. One person gets a toilet paper roll and you have to wrap the other person fast until you are out of paper. First team done wins. Start with the first 2 on the team, the next team cant start until they first roll is done.

Get 3 cheap pointed top witch hats at the dollar store. Use something as rings -3 of them. I just used heavy paper plates and cut out the center leaving a ring. Put the hats vertical in front of each other. Have guests stand behind a line and they have 3 chances to toss the rings on the tops of the hats.

Halloween toss game
Get 3 or 4 halloween pails or witch cauldron containers, or better yet mix them up. Put the vertical in line. Put small prize toys in the pails, the toys getter better the further away. Have guests stand behind a line and they have to throw a bean bag or a halloween item into the pails. They get to pick a gift out of each bucket they toss the item into. Give them 4 tries.

Halloween pong:
Use halloween plastic cups. Line them up in front of guests on a table. Give the guests candy corn. Have a timed game seeing how many they can get into the cuts throwing them across the table.

Guessing game:
Have a jar full of candy corn or halloween candies and have papers outside the jar for guests to put their name and guess the amount. Whoever comes closest wins the jar full of candy.

THE MISERLY MAN
A Tale of Halloween Woe

Once upon a time in this very town
Lived a miserly man whose name was Brown
Alack and alas, on a Halloween night
He was terribly murdered because of spite
And ever since then he has roamed the earth
To warn and to haunt the place of his birth
Tonight we have some of his restless remains
So we’ll make you acquainted at once with his .. BRAINS
(Begin passing wet sponge)

And now your shuddering touch will know
The victim’s HAIR has continued to grow
(Pass corn silk, yarn or old wig)

He heard too well the tinkle of gold
It’s powerful EAR that now you hold
(Pass dried apple or dried peach)

His HAND is clammy, cold and still
No longer can it shoot to kill
(Pass rubber glove filled with cold oatmeal)

His EYES were small, but very keen
Though the kind deed of earth they’ve never seen
(Pass peeled grape)

He talked a lot when he was young
Now your feeling the remains of his TONGUE
(Pass a raw oyster)

He was sly and cruel from the start
So now you’ll feel his bleeding HEART
(Pass a raw piece of liver)

The TENDONS which helped his strong right arm
We pass to you, keep them from harm
(Pass some cooked spaghetti)

The meals he ate were coarse and dry
So his TEETH were strong, they never die
(Pass some dried kernels of corn)

But wait! He comes and stands within
He’s hunting for some friends or kin
Listen closely and above his moans
You’ll hear the rattle of his BONES!
(A ghost moves slowly through the darkness rattling a bunch of clothespins tied together loosely.
Exits with a moan. Lights on!)

Worm pie:
You’ll need some pie tins (1 for each person playing), gummy worms, and cool whip. Put the same amount of worms in each pie tin, (the more the better!) and cover with cool whip. Blindfold each player. Don’t tell what’s in the pie, let them be surprised to find a worm dangling from their mouths (have a camera ready).

At the word of “Go!” all players dip into the pie with their mouths, trying to pull out as many worms as they can. The person to get all the worms out of their pie wins.

This game is messy, but it’s fun for the people playing as well as for those watching! Go eat some worms. Worms are good for you, lots of protein, low in fat, and eating worms will make you popular. Bon appetite’

Other games:
Bobbing for eyeballs: Use gummy eyeballs.

Seeking a Pagan / Celtic song…please help!?

I’m looking for a specific song…I heard it many years ago…I’d say around 10-12, and don’t know the artist or the song title, or even the full set of lyrics. I’ll share what lyrics I DO remember, they are the ones that start it off. The song is about a woman whom invites a stranger into her home on Halloween, and they make love. He leaves in the morning, and it turns out it’s a ghost. Here’s the lyrics that start it off:

Maybe this?

Spooky Hollow Haunted Doll House tour part 2

dis anyone see some priest on the tv last week (in britain) warning that kids should be careful at this?

halloween because of all of the ‘evil spirits’ and ‘demons’ that will be about. apparently dressing up is an invitation to evil and good christian children should stay inside. does anyone seriously believe this?

The Priest just is jealous of the spirits and wants all the children for himself.

Vinyl Lettering as a Growing Home Decor Trend

If you’ve been following interior design lately, or watched any of the home improvement shows on television, chances are you’ve seen vinyl lettering being used to decorate. Traditionally vinyl lettering was used only in sign making, such as banners, vehicle lettering, etc. However, with newly available, less tacky vinyl material available on the market, vinyl lettering for home decor is a fast growing trend. Even well known designer Candice Olsen used it in one of her recent episodes to add a little bit of charm to a room. So why vinyl lettering, why now, and how can you utilize this fast growing trend to add decor to any room in your home? Here are four reasons that vinyl lettering for home decor is a fast growing trend:

Vinyl Lettering is Inexpensive

When compared to hand-painted stencils to put words on walls, vinyl lettering is a lot less expensive for several reasons. First of all, time. You’ve heard the saying “time is money.” Well, if that’s truly the case, then vinyl lettering offers significant savings just in the time you save over having to hand paint your walls. If you were to paint your walls, you’d have to first create the stencils, or freehand it, which is very time consuming. With vinyl wall lettering most applications can be applied in less than 10 minutes, whereas painting the same saying on your walls could take you a day or more. Secondly, the cost of the materials is FAR less expensive when using vinyl lettering over paint. Think about this. You’ll need paint, thinner, brushes, a drop cloth, along with more paint to correct mistakes you may make along the way. Total that all up and you’re in it the very least $50, plus the hassle, time, etc. You can get a LOT of custom made vinyl letters for $50, and save your self some time to boot.

Vinyl Lettering Isn’t Messy

Another reason that vinyl lettering is quickly replacing hand stenciling is that it’s not messy….no cleanup involved. And best of all, you still acheive a hand painted look. I remember when a friend came to visit that I hadn’t seen in a long time, I showed her my daughter’s room. She loved the little poem I had going along the top of the wall in soft pink. She commented, “wow…that must have taken you forever…did you freehand that?” I should have told her “Yes, it was painstaking.” She would have thought I was amazing. But, I simply told her the truth. It took me about 30 minutes using some pre-cut vinyl lettering.

Vinyl Lettering Isn’t Permanent

Unlike paint, vinyl lettering can be removed anytime you’d like without damaging your painted walls. This offers the perfect solution for those who are in temporary living spaces such as apartments, rental homes, etc. You get the permanant hand-stenciled look, but with vinyl lettering, you have the option to remove it whenever you’d like. If you want to keep it forever, go ahead. If properly installed it won’t come off until you remove it.

Vinyl Lettering Can Be Changed Frequently

Many people love to decorate their homes for the holidays. Whether it’s Valentines Day, Halloween, Christmas, or otherwise, you can get vinyl letteirng inexpensively enough to allow you to change your decor often, allowing you to cusotmize your decor for any season. The time, mess, and expense involved with paint gives vinyl lettering an obvious upper hand when it comes to versatility.
