Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

What do your pages say?
I can't seem to find any fake or real spells.

Mine just has the Witches Chant from MacBeth on it. I had them outside with a looping soundtrack with the Chant going.

ghostess - that book is gorgeous (as is all I have seen of your creations you clever thing!!!)

Pum'kinpye - I have a ton of little spellbooks on my bookshelves and would gladly copy a few out for you if you would like?

Hey ghostess, Did I ever tell you that I emailed deadspider when I realized she lived in my community Well she replied and turns out we live like a 10-15 minute drive from each other. We're going to get together sometime. She also thinks she's known me for years, and we'll know once we see each other, but she said she knows my name well. Ya so she said she'd be more then happy to invite me to their Haunt Prop making event they have every summer in like March, so I thought that was just too cool! I first emailed her about her potion bottles and to see if she did in fact live right here in my community. She is very talented isn't she

Where can you buy, or how can you make a fog chiller?

And Magickbean, you're so right, I totally forgot to mention a cauldron and Spellbook, Good call

Thank you for the spells!

DoD: That's pretty cool...Angie is one of my favorite haunters and artists, and she's pretty nice too. You will have fun with her I'm sure.

Another friend of mine, Adam from Ghosts of Halloween, made a kickin' fog chiller. It could be scaled down to a 5 gallon bucket too:

No problem, pum'kinpye

Ohh I'm just messin with ya.

Hey ghostess, Ya I thought it was pretty darn cool also. And thanks for the link for the fog chiller, I will have to check it out

pum'kinpye:

I was at Michael's today and they had great little twiggy witches brooms for only 4.99 each. And I have a suggestion about the spell book: just take a large old book (doesn't even really have to be old, you can cover it with any kind of paper) open it like you want it, and just cover those two facing pages with paper with spells and magic sorts of signs printed on them. You could even use a computer and printer like me (because I have no artistic talent, either. )

Just wanted to say that, once again, ghostess has come through with the most awesome ideas and great links!! **applause, applause**

PS: a fog chiller isn't hard to set up and really does make ALL the difference in how your fog looks...it really hugs the floor and looks fabulous, and without it, the fog just rises and gets in the way. I've used foggers inside for years, and never had a residue issue. Look at
http://www.gotfog.com/ for some easy and effective fog tips.

of corse don't forget the caldron...just buy a big plastic cauldron and fill it with dried ice and water to make it bubble and steam!!!

I was thinking of giving my potions bottles a "brand name" but can't seem to come up with anything..the best I've got is Pretty Poison Co.

Any ideas?

I like the Pretty Poison Co. Very Good.

I like that and The Poison(ed) Apple (you know like Snow White)...kinda leaning toward this one..not sure yet.

Even better!!! I costumed as the apple-toting wicked witch from Snow White one year...one of my best costumes ever!

How about:

Perfect Potions

Pandora's Palatable Potions

Ethel's Excellent Elixirs

Wanda's Wizarding Wines
