The Haunted House

When my kids were small, I made them this haunted house. They loved it and played with it for years. Click on any picture for a closer look.


Click for a closer look. Some of the people that lived here had some really bad luck.


Skeleton wallpaper.


There must have been a horrible "accident" here. Notice the blood on the bed and the floor? And the outline of a body.


And there is blood on each step too.


The Halloween table is set for a party.


Bat punch and a Halloween cake.


Tarot cards for telling your fortune.


A witchy brew has been mixed up to serve.


The cookies are almost decorated.


A costume still needs to be sewn.


Television entertainment.


There are all sorts of treats just waiting for the guests.


A pumpkin pie and marshmallows for toasting.


A clown outfit.


The leaves have been raked and put in the garbage can.


Someone had a ghastly death.


The headless horseman wears a Jack O' Lantern for the party.


It looks like some of the guests are beginning to arrive.


Of course there is a witch!


And a devil dog with red eyes.


Here come two more guests.


Someone already vandalized the pumpkins.


I hate it when people break my pumpkins.


I bet this ghost saw who did it!


There is a big spooky spiderweb on the window.


Time to get the party started.


First I will carve some new pumpkins. Even the cat gets a treat of spilled milk.


This witch had a bad ending.


I think I will pass on tonight's main course.


But bobbing for apples looks like fun!

This entire post, photos and story made my night. Seriously it did. This was awesome, the house and all the accessories. My favorite, if I had to pick one, but I'd be hard pressed to do it, would be the skeleton, bobbing for apples. I wish I just had one ounce of your creativity.

Goodness, just when I think you can't do any more cool things, you do this! I love the little candies, the little cat with the spilt milk, the teeny costumes and the pumpkin party plates! You are so awesome. You are the queen of the blog world. I truly think you could have your own tv show. Your talent is immense. Did you ever finish your practical magic house? Anyway, thank you for lifting my spriit. Jenny
