I have always wanted to do a Haunted House and made my first attempt last year. It had to be kid friendly and I wanted it to be something that the kids would say that was the best Halloween party ever. Where I live kids dont get to wear costumes to school and they dont really have much of a halloween party anymore and I just wanted to try to have something sort of like when I was a kid when halloween was fun. It was a success as the next day at school I was " The coolest mom ever" I hope that when the kids get to be my age they will remember that moment just a little bit and who knows maybe I have inspired someone to be a Halloween nut like me in the future. Me and my kids had so much fun turning the garage into "Spooky Hollow". It was a sad day when it all had to come down.

The buffet set up so the kids could feel what was on the menu. I had to use flash to get pictures so it doesnt look nearly as cool as it was. We had a bat flying around on the ceiling at the room glowed red.

Aww kitty! It looks fantastic, great job! What a treat for the kids in your neighborhood, I wish someone had done something like this in mine.

What a great party!!! My favorite picture is of your kitty with the stomach ache after a eating a plate full of spiders! I love when my kitties pose like that.
I know what you mean when you say that the flash kills the setting that was actually there because I get a lot of that when taking pics of my guests.
