All Things Halloween

     It’s a creepy week for sure—Happy Halloween! Trick-or-Treat around the world on the web with a stop at Halloween.Com. This is a neat site, complete with links to costumes, decorations, movies, and crafts. Even links here to haunted houses and attractions.


Other spooky sites:

• From Universal Studios: Halloween Horror Night @ http://www.halloweenhorrornights.com// (labeled too intense for children)

     For a bewitching book & movie display, you might have these to contribute from your collection:

Legend of Sleepy Hollow
Frankenstein

     And this repeat of a neat fundraising idea from Mitchellville Public Library. This year marks their 5th annual Fall-O-Ween Party. For a $5.00 admission, people enjoy a campfire with hot dog roast and marshmallow toast, beverages, hay rides, straw jump, face painting, and a corn maze. All activities are sponsored by Friends of Mitchellville Public Library. Sounds like great fun—and a great program to replicate @ your library this or any Halloween season!
