When Tom Hanks met face to face with Zoltar in the memorable "BIG" I was mesmerized with the fantasy as if I were still an 8 year old kid. This story got me excited again with the notion that I might be able to replicate a similar Halloween prop that would dispense spooky advice to Trick-or-Treaters.

Mid-West Haunters Convention here WE come!! MysterE and I will be at the Convention in Columbus this weekend starting tonight! It will be our first time attending such an event related to all things Halloween, so you can imagine that we are busting at the ribs to see the latest stuff!

This year, I was thinking - perhaps I can host a few "Prep" parties - themed for fun, but will get the neighbors and friends in on the decorating and planning part. Maybe even get a few willing actors out of the early events.

I have been also toying with the idea ...

Being an avid fan of Halloween Forum - I get a rush of adrenalin every time I log on and see the "Days Until Halloween..." at the top of the Home Page. I seem to live my life in similar time table increments -
10 Days Until Thanksgiving... 35 Days until Christmas...38 Days until my wedding anniversary... you get the picture.
