Halloween Mood Setting: Chilling

I thought I was completely done with Halloween. I actually gave all – every single last piece – of my Halloween paraphernalia to my neighbor when I moved. My kids confirmed that they were done with the trick-or-treating thing a couple of years ago. And, since I lived in a gated community, where mainly arrogant un-costumed teenage boys would knock for candy, I closed shop long ago.

But now, since moving to the Chicago North Shore, with nary a gate or wall  in sight, and small children galore, and the Halloween “spirit” already omnipresent (and adorable), I’m thinking that I might just give it another go. All this to say that I was surfing the net to find clever ideas… I found lots, that I will report on later this week, but in the meanwhile, it’s the Hallowindow DVD that really got my attention. WARNING: NOT for young kids, unless you intend to scar them for life. This is for the adult crowd (ok, teens too). Perfect for an adult Halloween party. I love the creepy animations and sound effects (the eyes are already a classic) that would immediately set the mood for any Halloween event.

You can pop the DVD in your television’s DVD player or use a projector to project on a wall or through a window. You can order the creepiness here for $26 CAD.
