Halloween party pics! FINALLY!!!

As I promised, here are the pics from my party. I dressed up as a scarecrow, a costume that monopolized most of my time in the past few weeks. I used corn husks, burlap, etc. and sewed my own costume. Below are pics of decorations followed by pics from the party.

Here are a couple of spiders who took up residence in the living room. That's a pretty big egg sack! I had rigged the spider in the back, so that when the front door opened, he would drop down from the web. It was pretty creepy!

Here's my Halloween tree.

Old, tattered cheesecloth surrounded the entrance to the dining room. You can't tell much from this photo, but Tyler had made a nice spread on the table.

Here's the cocktail table, also draped in old cheesecloth. Lots of candy, and a book of witchcraft.

Here's my candy cauldron.

Here's the cauldron (minus the flash from the camera). I put orange lights under the cauldron (inside of a branch wreath) to look like a fire. and I have a little fog machine that lights up (hence the purple light inside the cauldron).

Now, for the party pics! here I am sneaking up on James.

James and Kristin as Justin Timberlake and Madonna from the "4 Minutes" music video.

Adam and Jess as "Deadites" from one of my favorite scary movies, "The Evil Dead"

Here I we are again. The burlap and corn husk mask was incredibly itchy, so it had to come off.

Tyler went as a deadbeat 50's husband... although some people thought he looked like a 70's porn star. It was a cute costume.

And, finally, a group shot. There were more people at the party, but I haven't gotten everyone's pics yet. In addition to the people above are, Kim (anime witch), Gabe (Elliot Ness), and Gabby (in the back as a hippy). It was probably one of the best parties I've had. Everyone seemed to have a good time, and then we went dancing afterwards.

Great pictures! LOVE the costume. The top pic is very creepy - with the scary shadows on the wall. Looks like everyone had a fun time. I especially love the cheesecloth hanging over the dining room and the spider sac. Vurry nice!
