Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 10, 2007 -- Marley Majcher, Founder and CEO of The Party Goddess! (www.ThePartyGoddess.com): "Let's face it, lots of parties are snoozers and Halloween events are no exception. Why not mix up the activities a little bit and ensure guests of all ages have a ball!"
? Create! Paint and decorate small pumpkins (minis come in orange or white) with markers, feathers and gems.
? Design! Pick up a bunch of plain masks that the kids can color, glue and embellish on the spot.
? Discover! Think Easter egg hunt in October. Hide mini pumpkins around the yard (or house if the weather is bad.) Award a prize for the child who finds the most.
? Bake! Decorate a haunted ginger bread house (or cupcakes) with black frosting and tons of fabulous candies. If the house is too complicated, just decorate cookies in the shape of pumpkins, ghosts and witches.
? Destroy! Hang a Halloween piñata stuffed with goodies in the yard and have the kids slug away. If you want to get really devilish and the children are a little older, have the piñata be a ghoulish head hanging from a "noose."
? Adorn! Bring in the experts or do it yourself. Have face painters on hand to create instant face masks and even someone to apply cool tattoos for the boys.
? Imagine! No matter how old or young we are, everyone loves to take a peek into the future. Tarot and palm readers will create all of the Halloween intrigue anyone needs.

Ghosts and Fenway: America's Halloween Obsessions
The Curse of the Bambino may be a distant memory for Red Sox fans, but who says the ghosts of Fenway didn't call this year's shots? According to the baseball insiders interviewed for the new book "Haunted Baseball: Ghosts, Curses, Legends & Eerie Events" (Lyons Press, Sept 2007), Fenway Park is still haunted by the ghosts of the Babe--not to mention legendary team owner Tom Yawkey and former PA announcer Sherm Feller. And they might just have favored the Sox.
