How To Haunt Your House

I'm going to go out on a limb here and make a very grand statement... This is the single greatest book about home haunting I have ever seen. Every project is genius and the photography is gorgeous. And what's even more impressive is the Mitchell's self-published this, so what you're getting was created entirely by them! No publishing powerhouse with an army of editors and designers. Just two people who really know there stuff. (For video tutorials, photo galleries and a free preview of the entire book, click here.)

Build a lifesize Jabba the Hut puppet

If you've ever wanted to do a Star Wars-themed yard haunt, this site is for you! They feature instructions on how to build a huge assortment of Star Wars crafts. My favorite is this lifesize Jabba the Hut puppet. I might build one and stick it on the front lawn at Thanksgiving wearing a pilgrim hat.

Haunted Christmas ornaments

It's not too late to haunt your Christmas tree this year. Scott at Stolloween has posted full instructions on how to create your very own inexpensive skull ornaments. He even includes templates so artistic skills are not required to produce these eye-popping bi-holiday decorations. Stolloween is definitely becoming one of my favorite Halloween-themed websites!

Skull & crossbones toaster

This is a great idea! A toaster that burns a skull & crossbones into your toast? Why didn't I think of that?

For everyone out there who doesn't feel like paying $44 for a novelty toaster, here's a simple and inexpensive way to get the same effect. Using an X-acto knife, cut your desired image out of aluminum foil. Then, wrap a piece of bread in the foil (with the exposed image facing up). Next, toast as usual - this should "toast" the chosen image onto the bread while leaving the rest of the bread untoasted. Once it has cooled, remove the foil and toast the bread once again. The already toasted section will continue to get darker while the rest of the bread ends up appropriately toasted.
