Type in Tombstones or Cemetary. You can do alot with $150.

I am covering all my stuff with black tableclothes, and using purple lights, and I am spray painting pumpkins black, and using spray adhesive to stick silver glitter on them. I bought an awesome tombstone with a skeleton on it for a centerpiece, and I have spanish moss, and spiders and rats, and leaves, and I bought tombstone shaped serving platters.

I bought plastic cups with skeletons on them, and I bought that creepy clothing that looks all torn...I am hanging that in my archway in my dining room, and weaving purple lights inside it.

I think it will be way cool.

Hey I saw a cute recipe in a mag that you might be able to use at the party. You take those Suzie Q's the chocolate cakes with cream in the middle....you freeze them for like 30 minutes or till they get hard./ Then remove them and cut to look like a coffin that raises up and down. Then you can add little skeletons....gummy bear or whatever.

Go to a place like Home Depot and get a sheet of insulation foam, it's about 1 1/2 " thick and cuts really easily. Cut out tombstones and spray them with gray paint. (.96 at Wal*Mart). Write creative names on them. A simple idea I saw in a mag. consists of putting some dirt in your wheelbarrow and placing some plastic bones in it. I did this and made a stuffed zombie pushing it, he appears to be robbing graves.
