Back in the "olden" days, Halloween was one of the most exciting times
of the year. Kids dressed up in costumes and paraded down the street
holding flashlights and paper bags heavy with candy.
Join me on a trip of Halloween sites, where kids are allowed to be
kids, and potential cavities are forgotten for one night.
Let's begin at Haunted America, where we'll find a listing of haunted
attractions nationwide. Click on a state to see what spooky events it
offers. Learn tips and tricks for makeup and props, or peruse the
Killer Cookbook for tantalizing recipes such as the Spider Web or
Ghouls in the Graveyard. Be sure to try The Nightscape, a shockwave
Halloween experience.

Here's a site with something for everyone: The Fun Room's Halloween
Area. Read Halloween Safety Tips, or discover how to make Gauze Ghosts
or a Paperbag Scarecrow. Play exciting Halloween games such as Muffin
Ramp Game or Bobbing for Donuts. You'll also find recipes such as
Pumpkin Cookies and Mulled Apple Cider.

Haunts, Boo Books, and Trick Net Treat. Got a spell you'd like to

How would you like to participate in an Internet seance? No? What if I
told you that we're trying to conjure up Houdini, who died on
Halloween day, 1926? Visit Halloween Seance on the Internet to see if
the famous escape artist escapes death in '97. The site also features
historical information about Houdini from the Houdini Museum.

We'll stop by the Ghost Web Photo Gallery, where we'll see the largest gallery of ghost pictures on the Net. We'll learn of local ghost clubs, or read true ghost stories. Need a ghost detector?
