When we choose to do a themed party it's often the decorations that are the most fun. When you want to do a theme as simple as "Monsters" obviously you need to make your place look like a goo old fashioned Mad Scientist Lab. The Van Der Graff generator and giant computer banks may be a challenge, but often the look can be pulled off with a few well-placed props.
My friend Bobbi came up with a good quick a inexpensive set of props that also looked really cool. There's a whole series of "grow" toys. You know, the kind that "GROWS UP TO 600 TIMES ITS ORIGINAL SIZE!"
Bobbi just stuck a few of these in mason jars filled with water , and then set a small light behind each group of jars. Artfully arranged on shelves and tables these "specimen" jars are nice and creepy. If you wanted to go a step further, you could label the jars, but we decided they looked quite nice without.
It pays to have a pathologist for a friend.

MAD SCIENTISTS NEED DECORATORS TOO

Steve,
I was looking at the list of people who had searched rip and read, and one of them was looking for "How to Decorate a Graveyard." This site could be just the thing for them!
Yes, I've got one more short post I was working on and then I figured I would delve into that one.
Now how "decorating a graveyard" and politics go together, that's an interesting one to figure out. Of course it was probably the "London Adventure" tangent that your blog has taken recently. There's some good spooky stuff there. Although some folks tend to find politics scarier...
Hey Steve... Love the new blog! Check out the last two posts on my blog for more homemade halloween ideas, other web sites about how to build Halloween projects, and even a link back to your page. Also, you can read all about my adventures on the Ghost tour to England that I took this year. And yes, I visited Alex and Bobbi while I was there, if you didn't already know that.

I knew a scientist who was crazy and always he liked to do scary parties I don't why so he had this strange custom but the thing is we enjoyed so much with him.
