ReUsed Carton Haunted Houses

In our house Halloween is the greatest time of year!!

We LOVE all things spooky .. witches, black cats, haunted houses, ghosts and ghost hunting, horror movies, zombies, and in my case, all things pumpkin!  

Halloween was so magical in my family as a child. Our whole extended family was together, albeit, there aren't a whole lot more than 20 of us.
We all dressed up, granny always as the green faced witch (she was such a great witch!), we ate chili (of course!) .. the adults had their wine and cheese .. there was a fire in the fireplace most years .. 10 conversations going for a table of 8 .. smells of food and drink and spice in such an abundance .. a neighborhood full of houses decorated .. crunchy red leaves all over the ground .. kids in costumes EVERYWHERE .. sitting down for dinner and having the door bell ring over and over ..
It was a time to get together, celebrate the fall harvest and have FUN!

That early LOVE for Halloween still exists ... times 4 ... in our house!

My son and I were looking for a quick and fun Halloween project to do ... here is what we found (original post found at www.choosecartons.com)
