Summary: Save your money
Review: I looked at several books on this subject and found this to be the one. Great price! It has everything that expensive books have. The book contains all the great Haunted House Tricks(Pepper's Ghost). Great illustrations! It explains how it is done and shows you how to do it. I found the book very easy to follow. In a land, where everyone from Knott's Berry Farm, Universal Studios, The Queen Mary, Non-Profit Organizations, back and front yard amateurs that have some kind of haunted house attraction; this is the book to help you compete.

Summary: Good Book, But Not What I Expected
Review: I was looking for ideas for scary decorations, which is not really what this book is about, although it is well written and the cartoon drawings are great.
If you're looking for scary tricks to perform, this book has Halloween gags which would be good for a family or group to do together, to scare Trick Or Treaters or haunted house guests.
But if you're planning a Halloween party, and you want to socialize and actually be part of the party, this is probably not the book for you. Most of the ideas in this book must be repeated every time someone new arrives. They require you to play an active role in the scare, either in costume or behind the scenes, and many require two people.

Summary: A Great Halloween Guide to Haunting
Review: Like anything else in life, you often get what you pay for, and for the small amount of money you will have to shell out for this book, it is well worth the price. No, it will not provide hands-on diagrams on how to professionally and elaborately design your entire yard or house but that was obviously not the intent of this book. Pfeiffer's book is aimed at those who are into Hallowe'en decorating for the fun and enjoyment of it. There are some great suggestions here that can make Hallowe'en time, quality family time. The reader will find some very catchy ideas to stir up the spirits of all the little ghosts and goblins on Hallowe'en.The book contains everything from magic tricks and costumes to building a Hallowe'en attraction and suggestions for your spooky party. The illustrations are quite good considering the cost of the book and there all kinds of tips and techniques among the pages to make your Hallowe'en a night to remember. Most children do not care how if your home or party is professionally designed; children are in it for the sheer fun (as Hallow'en was intended) and you are bound to find something here to please all your little creepy critters and fairy princesses (and Moms and Dads, too!)

Summary: Funny, out of this world ideas for Halloween!
Review: This book is fun to read and the illustrations are amazing! For practical purposes though, this is not the book you want if you need step-by-step instructions to decorate. This book merely gives examples and ideas and lets you use your imagination to do the rest. Also, some of the ideas are so crazy and involved that you would have to start the day after Halloween to get them done by next Halloween! This book is great for a laugh and is meant to be taken lightly. I recommend for anyone who loves Halloween and a good laugh; but, not to anyone who is looking for detailed instructions on decorating for Halloween.

Summary: A Great Halloween Guide to Haunting
Review: This book is ideal for home haunters or those producing a haunted fund raiser to collect ideas for developing the haunt. Written for the armature there are dozens of creative ideas to perform scares, decorate a room, party or front yard and ways to create special effects. The hundreds of humorous illustrations walk you through each idea. This book is an inexpensive way for any Halloween enthusiast to get started. It's worth the price of the book just to read for laughs.

Summary: A disappointment overall.
Review: This book outlines some yard ideas, but they apppear uncreative and need special equipment. If you're looking for halloween party ideas tho this may give you some ideas. Some pranks for trick-or-treaters are one time pranks. If you're looking for simple, practical ideas on creating dummies, haunts, and spooks this is probably not the one you want.

Summary: Not for the busy mom
Review: This Halloween guide had plenty of neat projects for making your house scary for Halloween. I found that the instructions were pretty thorough, but it wasn't quite what I was looking for. I'm a busy working mom. There's no way that I would be able to invest the time or the money in many of these projects. If you are a person who's really into Halloween, this book is for you. However, if you're like me, a very busy person who needs to put together a party for her kids but only has limited time, I'd recommend something like "101 Spooktacular Party Ideas" by Linda Sadler.
