Halloween is right around the corner and now is the time to start planning. Some people decide two weeks before Halloween what they're going to do. This often results in things just being thrown together. There are also problems finding the things you actually want to buy because they have already sold out. By planning ahead now, you will have more than enough time to play with several options to come up with the best possible results. I have listed several books below that will help you plan. Whether you want complex designs costing thousands of dollars, or simple designs that will still be effective, these books will give you more than enough ideas to have the neighborhood kids thrilled and the adults envious.

People spend almost as much money on Halloween decorations as on Christmas decorations. Some of these books will give you many ideas that will save money while increasing the effectiveness of your display. Some of these books will also show you how to create elaborate displays that will have people driving for miles to see your house. Whether you want to spend a little or a lot, these books will entertain you and give you a multitude of ideas for Halloweens to come. Halloween is not just for little kids getting candy door to door. Halloween is also for adults who might happen to enjoy the holiday.

Not all Halloween displays require elaborate props. Sometimes a little imagination goes a long way. This 96 page book will show you some very creative ways to carve and enhance a simple pumpkin, transforming it into a work of art.
