Halloween Links

Welcome to my collection of Halloween related weblinks.
 
So many Halloween websites are-in my opinion-so cluttered with ads and out of date information and pop-ups that they are basically useless. So I decided to compile a list of helpful and easy to navigate websites. All of the links herein are checked regularly, every few months or so.  If for any reason, you come across a dead link, send me an email and let me know!

Otherwise, poke around. I think you find just about everything you might need to celebrate the spooky time of year!

 
All links last checked on October 28, 2006.
 


My Personal Favorite Halloween Links

The Hauntforum

Everything you need to know on how to create and build your own Halloween haunt


Midnight Syndicate


    Midnight syndicate is a group of really cool guys who make their own music (and they are from Ohio!).
They focus exclusively on themed music, mostly of the dark and scary kinds.  Their music is "visual" music and is used in haunted houses across the nation. I HIGHLY recommend their music.

Britta's Halloween Pages


I first came across her website while searching for Halloween recipes. Not only is she one of the most gifted decorators I have ever seen, and not only is she a Halloween lover also-she is a really helpful person should you have any questions. Her website has recipes and photos of her parties over the last several years which are great for decoration ideas.  It is just a great Halloween website that will get your creative ideas rolling.

*Denotes exceptionally useful, fun etc. website

NOTE: While I have visited all of the above websites many times and believe them to be trustworthy, I have not purchased items from all of them and therefore cannot vouch for them. Make sure the company is reputable and always price compare as many sites jack up their prices in the Autumn, and ALWAYS ensure that your transactions will be secure whenever purchasing online.

Always read the information sections of shipping if you are ordering anytime in October. Many websites are swamped during the peak season, and require 1-3 weeks (or more) for deliveries.
