Hi Carolyn,
I did an Halloween inspired edit the other night and was thinking of other buildings that would spooky in grey scale! I could do a Halloween food post and mix in some stories of medieval witchcraft! 🙂
Hi Mike, Yes, some of your photos would be perfect for the Halloween season, especially with your brilliant edits! :-bd
Nice research Carolyn !
I visited the cute pet costume board and the recipe boards . They had some very interesting images . Creating such costumes and recipes isn’t a joke as it not only requires power to think different but also hard work .Hats off to the creators and thanks for sharing those pinterest boards with us .

Hi Pramod, Excellent point. The creativity is the hard work. Some of these ideas are very easy and fun for Halloween but the ideas are the challenge. How wonderful that people are willing to share their ideas with us on Pinterest!
Hi Carolyn,
Wow, talk about the wonder of tech. The video costume idea using your ipad is amazing. I never would have thought of that.
I especially like all the clever and colorful Halloween recipe ideas. I like to cook so making interesting foods for show is fun for me.
Thanks for all these great ideas.

Hi Liz, I’m so glad you like these Pinterest boards. If you like to cook, then you will enjoy these fun and creative recipes for Halloween tricks.
Yes, that iPad costume is very cool. What an inventive way to use Face Time to simulate a hole in your body! (~~)
I can only imagine what I’ll find if I start nosing around over on Pinterest Carolyn. I’m staying away from that site but I found myself last night going through YouTube finding scary funny pranks for Halloween to share on Facebook. You know me, I love sharing stuff that makes you laugh or is just worth sharing darn it.
I do love to see how inventive some people are I will admit though. I loved these photos and of course the little kid and the dog were my favorites. Pretty cool trick with the shirt too in that video. My goodness, the lengths some people will go to.
Pretty awesome, thanks for sharing.

Hi Adrienne, You’re very wise. As much as I love researching Pinterest articles, I always get caught up in the boards, finding fun pins! For every pin I list in this article, there were at least 10 others on each of these boards that I could have used. Pinterest is so addictive because it’s so much fun!
Yes, I’m not one of those people who can come up with inventive ideas such as these Halloween pins, but I sure do enjoy seeing what others can come up with.
That iPad trick is amazing. I know how he did it, but I never would have thought of doing that myself.
Hi Carolyn,
Sorry for being late this time…my connectivity problems still creating havoc due to the heavy rains this end – but I’m glad it’s alright now 🙂
Oh yes….I’m seeing lots of pins on Halloween every single day and even got an email from Pinterest about all these awesome boards, which made me click them – and there went a few hours…lol.. But it was fun going through all the Halloween boards of recipes, things to do, party ideas, costumes etc.
My Mom used to encourage us to dress up and have fun with our friends on this day, because we usually don’t celebrate it our end – so it was all the more fun to do something different from the rest. Similarly, I do the same with my kids, but that’s about all. They used to get their friends over and party all night, dressed up in those spooky costumes and play those scary sounds to get that eerie feeling…all for the fun of it.
Thanks for sharing. Have a nice week ahead 🙂
Hi Harleena, You’re certainly not late, it’s always great to see you here at The Wonder of Tech! I’m so glad you enjoyed these Halloween Pinterest boards. It’s wonderful to hear about Halloween celebrated in other countries, especially dressing up in costumes. I always loved it as a kid and enjoy it now when I go to our neighborhood Halloween party!
Yes, the recipes are particularly fun, the treats you can make easily can really help put everyone in the holiday spirit! :-bd
Those were novel ideas. Now “Trick or Treat”
Hi Jerry, I’m so glad you liked the creative ideas of these Pinterest boards. Happy Halloween to you too! (~~)
Thanks for sharing! And thanks for getting me motivated to get my Halloween decorations out. I see a few board here that can certainly help in my decorating skills, which are a bit lacking. And I love the dog costume board – but somehow I don’t think I’ll be able to get my 90 pound furry beast to keep one on.
Have a spooktastic Halloween!
Hi Carol, Yes, it’s fun to get into the Halloween spirit. That Pinterest board has plenty of dog costumes for you to pick the perfect one for your pooch!
Carolyn,
I don’t spend much time on Pinterest as it is a real time hog. I always seem to waste to much time when I go there.
Those are a lot of really cute ideas though. I may have to go and look for things for Halloween.
Thanks for the information.
