While looking for Shari Lewis stuff after finding that article I posted earlier in the month, I stumbled upon this "Spooky Stuff by Shari Lewis' book! It's filled with even more ideas on how to throw the best spooky parties ever...
These first couple of pages I've shared above tell you how to make some awesome invitations...
Above are some ideas for special effects to use while you tell a scary story in the dark....
And this...this just feels like something that shouldn't really be at a kids party! A dead body in the bath!!?? I love it!!!
Above are some more tips to get the atmosphere right for ultimate spooky shenanigans...
And here's some ideas for what to dress up like to put extra fear into your guests!
The last of the pages I'm sharing gives you some recipes to try out for horrorsome food!
As you can see from these examples, it's a great little book and worth picking up if you can find a copy! I used the Internet Archive borrowing library, when it was still working, to read it....

And then I also found this! A whole special Halloween video starring Shari and Mutton Chop amongst others in a weird spin on Phantom of the Opera, set in a haunted studio! I haven't actually watched it yet, I'm saving it for Halloween....
But yeah, it seems like Shari was definitely one of us when it came to being a Halloween fan, as she did loads of stuff to enhance the spooky season!

Just in case this is the first post you've looked at, lots of bloggers are taking part in the Countdown to Halloween, and you can head to the Countdown Hub to check out what all the other Cryptkeepers are up to. Orrin Grey over at The Incredibly Strange Creature Who Stopped Living and Became Orrin Grey has a couple of books they've written to tell you about for instance.....but to see the rest, just click the badge below to be whisked off to the hub!
The body in the tub seems a little dark for Shari Lewis. Not quite living up to her apple pie image here in the states.
