This was shared with me by ‘phunhaus’ as her favorite decoration for Halloween. Can you imagine the reaction of the neighborhood kids plus spider-phobes? :0)
While we’re at it, I found a couple more images to get you in the mood for the critters tonight –

Source Unknown – Sorry. These costumes would be particularly good on rainy, cold Halloweens, except you’d need a way to free your hands to gather candy and other goodies.
Pinterest – I think I would stay clear of this guy. Isn’t he wonderful? Not clear if this is a costume or a yard decoration. Whichever, I love it.
Pinterest – I think this is SOOOO creative. Might even give you nightmares if you met him on the street…
YouTube.com – I would definitely think twice about trick-or-treating at this house.

Each year I look to see what’s new in pumpkin carving, costumes, and decorations. I found these cute children’s costumes –
All of these children’s Halloween costumes were provided in an article on BoredPanda.com by authors Inga Korolkovaite and Janus Caunt

Back in the Dark Ages, when I was trick-or-treating, we came up with our own costumes. We might buy an accessory or two, but mainly we decided who or what we would ‘go as,’ and then start trying to put the look together. It was fun, and part of the joy was the figuring out who your friends ‘came as,’ and if they would ‘get’ your costume goal.
Then there was a period it seemed like kids and their parents just wanted to buy their favorite characters off the shelf at a store. Homemade things were just sad at that point, and stores charged more and more for you to buy the ‘in’ costumes.
Now it seems that anything goes, and I love that. Each year I scour the Internet to find out what is new this year, and the creativity of people thrills me. The costumes just get cuter and cuter and the decorations and pumpkins improve exponentially each year, although I would have sworn they couldn’t.
Even though the world has essentially ruined Halloween for me, I still love seeing Ray Villaphane’s pumpkin carving, wonderfully creative handmade children’s costumes, and terrific displays with skeletons. I have wonderful memories of Halloweens as a child, and that will have to suffice.
We don’t have trick-or-treaters at our house because we live on the top of a ridge line up a steep gravelly driveway. The few kids that DO trick or treat nowadays are smart enough to go to the wonderful neighborhoods where the houses are closer together and most people have their porch lights on in welcome, enabling them to quickly gather goodies.

The ‘goody’ I wanted when I was a kid was a chocolate bar. When I got home from the gathering, I quickly went though everything to see if I had been lucky enough to get one.

The only thing we were warned about was the possibility of a razor blade being imbedded in the middle of an apple. I didn’t worry, even if I DID get an apple, because to be honest, fruit was the furthest thing from my mind on Halloween.

We just put this jack-o-lantern mailbox decoration up. This is the back of the piece.
And this is the front. I wish he glowed in the dark…
