From the Author

Halloween Fun reflects my love for Halloween and everything about it that makes it special. I wanted to have one place that not only reflects my creativity and imagination for creating original games for both kids and adults but also give you a brief history about the customs leading up to this imaginative holiday.  You'll also find fun Halloween images throughout the book.

I painstakingly put together a Halloween Web Resource Guide for everything Halloween including costumes, makeup, tattoos, props, free Halloween printables, Halloween trivia, Halloween jokes, Halloween recipes, Halloween ghost stories and much, much more. All accessible with one click.  As a bonus, I've also included the soundtrack from the Youtube Halloween sensation Halloween Fun Dance Party, yours free included inside the book. If you want to see what's inside Halloween Fun check out the Halloween Fun Book Trailer also on Youtube and on my Dede Dyer Author Page. 

If you love Halloween you'll love this book, for you, your friends and your family. Come celebrate with me and make this a Halloween celebration they won't forget. May you and yours have the best Halloween ever.

Love,
Dede

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining AND a useful resource - highly recommended!
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2012

I really liked the way this book was laid out: it was a fun read starting with the information about the author being born a Halloween baby (how cool is that: guaranteed fun on every birthday!) and then following up with stories woven in amongst the suggested Halloween activities and crafts. I liked the acknowledgement, too, that things have changed and kids going out on Halloween are maybe not quite as safe as they once were... but there's still plenty of ways to have family fun.

I enjoyed the inclusion of bright pictures. This would make it fun for kids to read (actually, I can picture them referring to this for some of those classroom assignments to find out information!)

A big plus with this book is the resource section at the end of the book, so you can find free pumpkin carving patterns/templates and videos, free printable online certificates, recipes, trivia questions and more. That's smart, because e-books are changing - buyers look for those little 'extras', and providing extra training and resources means that everything is together in one book, but extending BEYOND the book.

Other things I liked:

## The safety considerations: good suggestion about Kids being "Keepers of the Flame" as well as care of pets. Ditto for the intelligent suggestions about 'trick or treat'.

## The suggestions for house parties and block parties, and how to balance time, talent and resources - plus the Top 10 Party Theme events!

## Time Management Tips! This might sound dry in a Halloween book, but wait... this is actually no small thing. A bit of planning and careful use of time means everyone has more fun.

## Love the Halloween fun games, too. Think I'll try that tombstone dance! Good idea to include adult games.

Great book, terrific value. Add it to your Halloween collection. (Actually, it may be the only one you need!)

I must admit Halloween has become something I dislike. I could write a book on the negative side of Halloween. But the author quickly reminded me of my youth and how much fun Halloween could be. One of my childhood experiences was anything but fun and I am 77 years old. Halloween can be a nightmare due to the mischief caused by some teenagers and adults. The author gives many suggestions which could make it a happy experience. Suggestions and resources are plentiful. Some get very involved both time-wise and monetarily, but that would be an individual decision. I still have my reservations about Halloween and am unlikely to participate in it again, The book is well written and has many excellent ideas. As much money as is spent on Halloween, some of it should be to purchase this book... ..

Short book but also has references so you can find everything you need for a family Halloween party. The pics are a little scary for youngsters, so I did NOT read the book with my son!

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit sparse

I downloaded this book on the kindle and read it in about 30 minutes on a train ride to a Halloween parade.

This book is a good starting point, with a very brief summary of the history of Halloween and a couple of associated traditions. There are also some good party game ideas mixed in among the standard suggestions that anyone could come up with over a 1 minute brain storming session. I did find a little bit of repetition in some of the suggestions, which was annoying for a book as short as this one is.

Speaking of the length, the book is quite short, with much of the page turning involving flipping past the photos and illustrations that serve to break up the bits of text. I'm not sure if this was formatted for kindle or if it was originally in a different format (it reads like it may be a blog collection). If it is converted from elsewhere, that may explain some of the odd page breaks; there were a couple of occasions of paging past an absolutely blank screen to get to the next photo or paragraph of text.

Drawbacks aside, as I said before, this is a decent starting point.

There are also a few glaring grammatical errors. The author seems unaware that the word "hallowed" is an archaic form of "holy", and several times throughout the book refers to "hallowed vegetables" instead of "hollowed" ones that you carve into Jack O'Lanterns. If it occurred just once, I would have called it a typo and moved on, but it appeared often enough that I had to start wondering how one made vegetables holy. The author has a very conversational "voice" when writing, which makes it seem like she's just sitting around having a conversation with you. As a stylistic choice, I found this okay, but there is an absurd lack of commas and other punctuation in places to the point of causing confusion. A quote from the book to illustrate:

So if an activity takes an hour your friend may say I can handle these four activities which add up to an hour each or a total of four hours.

This could be much easier to read with a bit of punctuation:

So, if an activity takes an hour, your friend may say "I can handle these four activities," which add up to an hour each, or a total of four hours.

The back of the book is a series of links, which I have not tried following on my kindle to see if they are valid. This is part of what leads me to suspect that the book was originally published elsewhere or is possibly a collected series of blogs. This section of the book may be more useful if you are reading on your PC and can click the links to follow them, rather than try to follow them via the kindle.

As I mentioned above, this is a good starting point, and the book is not without value as a Halloween resource. I just didn't feel it goes far enough in most areas. I see the list price is $4.95, which is a bit ridiculous for the amount of text in the book. As an e-book, I wouldn't recommend paying over $.99 for the amount of information presented. Again, what's here isn't bad, it just needs to be expanded upon,　filled out a bit, and proofread.

The author, born on All Hallows Eve, tells of her childhood and how Halloween used to be, safely going door to door with goody bags. She weaves in charming anecdotes of her dad's and uncle's versions of how Halloween came to be, and with humor and wit relates the real lowdown, including the legend of the Jack O'Lantern.

A born party planner, she gives endless ideas for kid's and adult parties, emphasizing safety and creativity into parties that range from the simple to the complex, including advice on how to delegate tasks among friends and relatives for some big Halloween blowouts.

An entire chapter is devoted to online links, from a YouTube Monster Mash video, to sites for makeup and supplies, to templates for carving pumpkins.

Planning a Halloween party? This is a must read! And if you weren't thinking in that direction, you will be after reading this book. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love This Halloween Book - Full of Fun Ideas For All ages
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 4, 2012

This book is not just to create a great party time for kids; it encompasses ideas for teenagers and adults too!

My nephews loved the cover and inside illustrations. My family has long been lovers of 'All Hallows Eve' and it has always been a time for mischief and fun. When I was young it was a time to scare the adults and now I'm one of them I have to admit to loving the thrill of scaring the kids in the family and getting my own back on them.

These days it has become very much a family occasion and rather than door knocking, a party is arranged. Dressing up is a must and we organise a spooky treasure hunt where plenty of surprises lay in wait for the unsuspecting.

The author, Dede, has provided fabulous ideas, videos and resources for creating a great party without spending a fortune. I can't wait for Halloween this year and may even arrange for the kids to go on a sleepover so I can try out the adult haunted house theme.

As a Halloween Babe, Dede has researched the folk lore well and I learned something also! Always wondered where the pumpkin lantern came in! Very well put together by someone who obviously has the 'Spooky Gene' and really enjoys this holiday. Highly recommended.

Buy this book now as you will need some time to start preparations to ensure you have a fun, spooky and scary Halloween this year!
