Ghostly Frights for Halloween Nights

Which do children love most - to scare others or be scared themselves?

Either way, turn your home, indoors and out, into the Halloween neighbourhood fright-night centre.

Fast and simple craft projects are easy to put up, take down, and store.

Make them yourself or invite the kids to help. The windows of your front door become a goblin's glowing, glaring eyes, then add a malevolent toothy grin dripping with blood.

A porch is the perfect place to hang a Grim Reaper with papier-mache skull and gold-foil scythe, where the breeze will blow him to and fro.

You can even make jack-o'-lanterns out of painted stones that no vandal can smash.

Indoors, party projects abound to create a truly haunted house!
