Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat! With Halloween night approaching and children finalizing their costumes, it is about time for your house to be bombarded with witches, clowns, vampires, and more! Are you going to be the house with the scary graveyard, the howling music, or the trick candy bowl that tries to grab your hand with every attempt to get candy? I sure hope you are! Those were the best houses to go trick-or-treating at! Not only was it scary to walk up the foggy path not knowing where it would lead to, but they always seemed to give out the best candy! From king sized Snickers to handmade caramel apples, some people really know how to do Halloween right!

Do you want to be one of those houses? The ones were the kids come from miles away just to be able to experience “true” Halloween trick-or-treating?! Well, if you do, it might cost you a pretty penny to supply the candy that you will need for all of those ghoulish ghosts and wise wizards. And not to mention, you will also have to play the part. You will need at least two different outfits, outfits for your dog, and of course outfits for your kids! Halloween is a great holiday where you can be whatever and whoever you choose, but it comes at a price.

Will it be a vampire, will it be a witch, will it be a clown, or will it be the headless horseman?  As you and your “little devil” dressed dog approach the door, you make sure the grabbing hand is ready in the candy bowl, the scary music is playing in your house, and that the fake tombstones are still up in your front yard.  It is Halloween Night!

The path is dark, the air is chilly, the moon is shining bright above you, but you still can’t see where you are going. You continue on.  Following the path, you round the corner and find there are two ways to go. You decide to go left, where the path looks wider and might lead you to the end. As you continue down this new path, you have the feeling that someone might be following you. You turn quickly around. There is no one, the path is still clear. In the distance you hear a chainsaw. You start running, trying to find your way out of this twisted, dark maze. You take a sharp right and BOOM! You run right into someone dressed in a dark cloak and mask. You turn around, run the other direction, when AHH someone jumps out of the corn. You scream and run faster than you ever have.

You are almost out, you can see the clearing, when all of the sudden you hear a chainsaw. You turn around and someone is running after you with it. You run even faster, keeping your eyes on the clearing ahead. Finally you reach it, screaming, and flailing about. Once you calm down you think, “man, that was a pretty good haunted house!”. 

Halloween is right around the corner. There are pumpkins at every grocery store, costumes down every aisles, haunted houses at every turn. So the question is, what are YOU being for Halloween? Are you going to be the typical clown, witch, or vampire, or are you going to branch out and be something different and unusual like a submarine?! Either way, there is one place where you are sure to find what you want to be this Halloween!

Here are some of our favorite shots from Friday’s Halloween Party. We had some magical entertainment, amazing food and a great time! There pretty much isn’t anything more you could ask for.

So, which outfit is your favorite?

When I was younger, my parents got creative a LOT. As the oldest of three girls (and we’re pretty close in age), my parents were trying to feed us, clothe us and keep a roof over our heads on one income.

But they were so good at it. We may have gone without some things, but we never knew. One of the times that my mother’s creativity really came out was during Halloween. My sisters and I had some of the coolest costumes, and they cost a ton less than the basic store-bought costumes (plus, you never saw anyone else in the same look!). We loved playing dress up during Halloween, getting our costumes together, our Halloween hairstyles and the works. Here are a few of my favorite Halloween costume ideas, along with how to do them:

Bunch of Grapes: My sister rocked this costume when she was four… it was so much fun and totally cute (although the clothing pieces were easier to find in the 80′s… you may have to dye your own if you can’t get the right bits!). What you need:

1. Purple shirt


2. Purple pants


3. Balloons (preferably purple, too)


4. Safety Pins

You can go with green or red as different color options… we chose purple. This Halloween costume idea doesn’t even really need a step-by-step; it’s so easy that the four-year-old could almost do it themselves (of course, you need adult supervision for the safety pins!). Have the child put on the shirt and pants, blow up the balloons and pin to the clothing. Voila!

This next costume is my personal favorite. I wore this when I was six or so (the same year my sister wore her grapes costume). It’s all kinds of fabulous… or, at least it was when I was six!

Candy Buttons: Easy, but does require a day or two to get ready. What you need:

1. Poster Board


2. Styrofoam Balls (cut in half)


3. Spray paint (bright, fun “candy” colors)


4. Hole Puncher


5. Glue

6. String

Ahead of time, lightly spray the halved Styrofoam balls (spray them too closely and they’ll disintegrate) with colors in a gradient-style (make them look as close to Candy Buttons as possible. If the paint from one gets on the other, all the better!) until they’re all coated. Let them dry for 24 hours. After this period, use glue (whether you use basic glue or a hot glue gun is up to you… basic glue is safer and less likely to melt the Styrofoam, though) to put them on the poster board. Let those dry, then punch holes in the top of the poster board. Loop the string through it and either lace it around the neck or make it sandwich-board style with two poster boards. I will say that the second option is harder when it comes to playing Halloween games or

Halloween is just around the corner, so it’s time to make some plans for what you’re going to do! Here are a couple of ShopAtHome.com’s favorite tips & tricks; for more fun Halloween ideas and safety tips, visit the Halloween Guide.

1. Buddy System: Always make sure that the kids go together when Trick-or-Treating and with an adult, if possible. If they are going out as a group without parents, make sure at least one child has a cell phone so you can stay in contact. It’s safer and less stressful when you know they’ll be together!

2. Keep the Party Home!: Whether you don’t want the kids wandering around the neighborhood, or think they’re too young to go out on their own, you can do an alternative: host a party! Decorate your basement or living room like a not-too-scary haunted house, have a bunch of snacks and candy, turn up the music and turn off the worry.

3. Candy Candy Candy!: When I was younger and Trick-or-Treating, I’d gorge myself on candy and I wouldn’t stop until I felt sick. Once the kids get back (and after they’re done counting and trading their candy bars!), limit the amount they can have. That way, they won’t feel sick and you won’t be exhausted because the little ones are on a never-ending sugar high.

4. Pumpkin Carving: A fun family tradition, pumpkin carving is a blast, but it can be dangerous for the little ones. Let them sketch their own designs, but do all the cutting yourself. And make sure to clean and bake the seeds for a yummy, healthy treat!

5. Cute Costuming: Let’s face it, Halloween costumes are EXPENSIVE. Keep the prices down by shopping during sales (check out the best days for Halloween Cash Back here on ShopAtHome.com) and getting the most from your money. Get creative and make a DIY costume!

It’s easy to have a safe and fun Halloween! Have any other tips that you’d add? Let us know in the comments!
