Summary: Lame costumes, lamer decor
Comment: If Halloween is your holiday, this book is not for you. The costume ideas were really poor (try Jane Austen's Costume Book). Most costumes involve raiding the thrift store and trying to pass off that awful bridesmaid's dress as a fairy costume. Nothing new or original. I'm selling my copy on ebay ASAP.

Summary: Costumes galore but not much decor
Comment: I am a fan of adult Halloween books - nothing cutesy or for the kiddies. I bought this book thinking it would have equal amounts of decor and costumes as I am the type of person that likes Martha Stewart's Halloween decorating ideas. While this book is very good, it is primarily costumes and masks. I would have liked to see more decor. The first 108 pages out of 175 pages are costumes. The remaining pages covers jack-o-lanterns, decorating with candles, a few recipes, etc. Nothing new or spectacular. Great if you like to craft your own costumes...mediochre if you want new decor ideas and crafting your own Halloween items.

Summary: One of the best Halloween idea books I've seen.
Comment: Maybe it's because I'm not a seamstress, or even a casual sewer, but I don't understand the objections of an earlier review. It's hard to believe we're talking about the same book! Yes, there is a costume using duct tape, but throughout the book I found many new, very original and creative ideas that I will be able to use for my annual Halloween extravaganza. I have read dozens and dozens of books on Halloween costumes, crafts, and decorating, and never been quite so inspired. As a Halloween afficionado, I recommend it highly!
