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 2 is Creepy. Halloween themes at this level are eerie and unsettling, resulting in spine-tingling chills & goosebumps. Let’s see how the desired emotional reactions affect our choices in Halloween décor.
Creepy Themes:
Jack-O-Lanterns
Black Cats
Mummies
Spiders
Ghosts
Clowns
Scarecrows
Monsters
Witches
Haunted House
Pumpkin Patch
Skeletons
Graveyard
Werewolves
Bats
Day of the Dead (Extra credit for being fashionably frightening. lol)
Vampires (Looks like Tom Cruise in Interview with a Vampire)
Twisted Fairy Tales
Dolls (Reminds me of the little girls in Stephen King’s The Shining)
Creepy Themed Foods:
Beverages
Cakes
Candy
Serving Dishes
Guests, craving the thrills of amusement parks, will appreciate the chilling surprises discovered around every corner with these Halloween Creepy themes. Please let me know your favorites in the comments.

Wooow! Buuu! Wooow! Buuu! Now i feel like a ghost feeling and i like to drink that coffee
with a slice of a black cake it looks amazing. I LOVE the scarecrow i put it at the garden with those
wonderful pumpkins (LOVE pumpnkins) and witches with a black cute cat. My dear friend Lisa thank’s
so much for share this awesome ideas. I like to choose some scary outside like the grave yard next to
those impressive wolfs and maybe inside a Halloween more cozy.
Always enjoy to visit your blog where creativity flows, so motivated.
Cheers to Halloween! Do you have a “pumpink poisson” recipe?
Sending you blessings!

As always, I appreciate your enthusiastic support! Sorry, I don’t have any new recipes, but anything with pumpkin flavor is delicious. I enjoy pumpkin pudding, especially when it’s still warm from the oven. I can get you the recipe if you want it. I do have a photo of it in the post, “Baking with Seasonal Flavor,” with a link shown below. Blessings to you too!

I’m thrilled that you enjoyed it, Elvira. Next week will be scarier. Like you, I am so inspired at this time of year. There aren’t enough weeks in the month to cover all the projects, so I’ll have to save some for next year. You can feel the magic in the air, making our dreams come true! Cheers to wishes fulfilled!
