With trick-or-treating-eve less than two weeks away, our Home and Garden Guides have put together an extensive and inclusive list of ways to celebrate Halloween in all its gory goodness. With everything from decorations to costume designing, you'll find what you need right here.

Halloween Ideas & Tips
If you're trying to decide what kind of face to carve on your pumpkin or aren't sure how to create the perfect witch costume, look no further than this definitive guide to Halloween fun. It even offers some sage advice on what to do if Halloween just isn't your thing. It's spook-tacular!

Black Cat Month
At an animal shelter where I volunteer, we have a hard time adopting out black cats. People tend to shy away from them, even though they're the most affectionate kitties you'll ever meet. We're fortunate enough to have two black cats in our household, both of whom love to cuddle, are extremely vocal and playful. Find out more about black cat lore, what makes black cats special, then upload a photo of your favorite black cat right here.

Frightfully Divine Decor
This is definitely a spooky space that's a little like Edgar Allan Poe meets the French Revolution. While this might not be to everyone's taste, there's a kind of fascination that draws the viewer in. I love the art wall and the small touches that makes this room extraordinary.

Tricks for Treating Halloween Stains
Halloween is by far the stickiest, stain-producing holiday we have. I know this year I'll be fighting fake blood spots, dripping wax and rice-infused face putty because of my husband's instance that we dress up as prom king and queen, zombie-style. This stain-fighter guide will be taking center-stage in our laundry room.
