Halloween: Grins, Chills or Screams? Part 1

Kid Friendly Witch & Full Moon

When decorating for Halloween, there are two decisions to be made:

1. Choose a Theme.  2. Choose a Fear Factor.

What is the fear factor? Think of it as how much you want to frighten people, based upon a 3-level scale. Level 1 is Kid Friendly.
