Martha Stewart's Ultimate Guide to Celebrating Halloween
As the spookiest night of the year approaches, many of us are wondering how to create an unforgettable Halloween experience. For Martha Stewart, the holiday is a labor of love that goes back to her childhood memories of making lanterns out of cardboard boxes and throwing them into a giant bonfire. Now, as the "Queen of Domesticity" and "Queen of Halloween," Stewart shares her expertise on how to celebrate this special night with style.
When it comes to decorations, pumpkin carving is a must-have for any Halloween display. However, not everyone feels confident in their ability to create intricate designs using nothing but a sharp knife. Stewart offers a range of stencils and designs to help take the pressure off, from fairy houses to haunted houses. Alternatively, she suggests painting, appliqués, and accessories to give your pumpkins personality.
But decorations are just the beginning. For a truly immersive experience, consider transforming your home into a real-life haunted house with skeletons, gravestones, and inflatables. And don't be afraid to add some creepy critters to your outdoor space – snakes, bats, spiders, and big googly eyes will send shivers down your guests' spines.
Of course, no Halloween celebration would be complete without games and activities. Stewart recommends making pumpkin piñatas, bobbing for apples, or nibbling on doughnuts hanging from a string. For a more elaborate game night, try creating a homemade spider toss game that transforms your living room floor into a giant cobweb.
Costumes are also a crucial part of the Halloween experience. And why should adults be left out of this fun? Stewart is a master of creating outrageous and unforgettable costumes – from her iconic Fairy GrandMartha look to her dramatic Medusa get-up. With a little creativity, you can create a stellar costume using clothes and accessories you already have in your closet.
Finally, no Halloween party would be complete without some freaky foods to serve up. Stewart's recipe for Shrunken Heads in Cider is a showstopper – the combination of crisp apples, store-bought cider, lemonade, and rum creates a truly ghastly drink that's sure to send chills down your guests' spines.
With Martha Stewart's expert guidance, you'll be well on your way to creating an unforgettable Halloween experience that's equal parts spooky, stylish, and fun.

! Now it's all about using pre-made stuff to make it look all pretty and whatnot. And don't even get me started on these new-fangled pumpkin piñatas, where did that come from? 
I mean Martha Stewart is always good for some creative ideas but this one takes the cake... or should I say, the doughnut hanging from a string 
. And have you seen those Shrunken Heads in Cider recipes floating around? That's just crazy talk! Who thought it was a good idea to put rum in apple cider? 
! There's something so magical about Halloween, don't you think? I mean, who doesn't love a good excuse to get creative with decorations and costumes? I've been checking out some really cool DIY tutorials online, like this one from Martha Stewart - she has some awesome ideas for pumpkin decorating and games to play. And can we talk about food for a second? Shrunken Heads in Cider sounds AMAZING 
i mean who wouldn't want a homemade spider toss game in their living room? 
i'm totes trying that out this halloween party! 
) and get all artsy with decorations, costumes, and food. i mean, who doesn't love a good pumpkin carving challenge? 
or making your own spooky cocktails 
.
my kids are always like "can we just get decorations" but my hubby is all about making it a family affair 
but sometimes less is more, you know? I'd rather have one or two cool decorations and not worry about it than try to make like 10 different ones 
. I'm def trying out that spider toss game at my party this year, sounds like so much fun! And Martha Stewart's costume ideas are on point 
... like the pumpkin carving stencils or painting pumpkins... are they hard to do? Can't I just buy some? 
. What about games and activities, how many guests should I invite? And what's up with the Shrunken Heads in Cider recipe? Is it really as gross as it sounds?
just make ur own decorations, have a pumpkin carving party with friends, play some creepy games 
. Who thought that was a good combo? Apples and cider are great on their own, no need to add rum and lemonade...unless you're tryna get sick 
. And don't even get me started on them creepy critters in ur yard...can we just stick with some plain ol' decorations like a spider web or somethin? 
I'm not really into all the fuss around Halloween decorations... just a bunch of unnecessary stuff 
i love how she shows you can make costumes out of stuff you already have at home. and those freaky foods sound amazing 
i wanna try making those shrunken heads in cider ASAP
. And have you seen her costume ideas? Outrageous! 
. The Shrunken Heads in Cider recipe sounds super tasty too 
. And can we please just stick to making jack-o'-lanterns that say "Trick or Treat" instead of trying to create some sort of sentient pumpkin from scratch? 
but what im most excited about is her costume ideas lol fairy grandmartha and medusa sounds AMAZING
