MonsterList Of Links to Halloween Do-It-Yourself Projects


The Monsterlist is the most complete collection of links to home pages with do-it-yourself projects on them that I have ever seen. Every scary devious spooky prop and project is listed here. Most importantly, the list is checked periodically for accuracy. This is not an all-inclusive list of everything Halloween, and it is not a index of professionals pushing their wares. This is only a list of projects and ideas that people who build their own Halloween props use. Usually I have linked to the project page itself however I recommend browsing from there to the owners main Halloween page, there is usually plenty of interesting Halloween information.

It was posted to a local newspaper by a person who gave a false name.
