A Good Old Fashioned Halloween
By
Robin Nobles
Back in the "olden" days, Halloween was
one of the most exciting times of the year. Kids dressed up in costumes and
paraded down the street holding flashlights and paper bags heavy with candy.
Join me on a trip of Halloween sites, where kids are allowed to be kids,
and potential cavities are forgotten for one night.
Let's begin at Haunted America, where we'll find a listing of haunted attractions
nationwide. Click on a state to see what spooky events it offers. Learn tips
and tricks for makeup and props, or peruse the Killer Cookbook for tantalizing
recipes such as the Spider Web or Ghouls in the Graveyard. Be sure to try
The Nightscape, a shockwave Halloween experience.

Here's a site with something for everyone: The Fun Room's Halloween Area.
Read Halloween Safety Tips, or discover how to make Gauze Ghosts or a Paperbag
Scarecrow. Play exciting Halloween games such as Muffin Ramp Game or Bobbing
for Donuts. You'll also find recipes such as Pumpkin Cookies and Mulled Apple
Cider.

Booville is a totally delightful site with areas such as Halloween Haunts,
Boo Books, and Trick Net Treat. Got a spell you'd like to cast? Brunhilda,
the resident witch, will take care of it for you.

How would you like to participate in an Internet seance? No? What if I told
you that we're trying to conjure up Houdini, who died on Halloween day, 1926?
Visit Halloween Seance on the Internet to see if the famous escape artist
escapes death in '97. The site also features historical information about
Houdini from the Houdini Museum.

Come with me as we visit The Ghost Web, the official website of the International
Ghost Hunters Society. We'll stop by the Ghost Web Photo Gallery, where we'll
see the largest gallery of ghost pictures on the Net. We'll learn of local
ghost clubs, or read true ghost stories. Need a ghost detector? You'll find
one for sale at the site.

If you think this Halloween will be just another boring day, head on over
to Sympatico: Halloween. You'll find links to horror movie sites, the history
of Halloween, and party ideas. Learn how to make great fake blood on a budget,
or visit an online Ouija Board.

A site that offers Halloween links for and by kids is Dark Side of the Web:
YaBoo Halloween Page. Visit online chat areas for teens, Family Fun Magazine's
Haunted House Party, or Billy Bear's Halloween.

For tricks, treats, and even a chance at winning prizes, stop by the Night
of the Living Yahoo! Visit Monsterpedia, "your guide to the Ghoulies and
Ghosties and Long-Legged Beasties and Things That Go Bump in the Night."
In fact, this area claims to have so many monsters that they have to use
Monster Repellent. The Trick-O-Meter features Halloween songs and costume
hints of all kinds, like In the Fuzz, which helps you create your very own
hairy costume. You'll also discover ghost stories and a Paranormal Panel.
