DIY: Spirited Halloween decorations

Here's a small, but tasty, collection of sites with ideas for Halloween trappings.

The Halloween Howl-to at DIY Network has pumpkin-carving templates, fright-night projects, and more.  The Green Gelatin Shots With Spiders pictured below were found there.

If your taste runs to the darker side of life, try the collection offered in mental_floss' DIY Halloween Decorations.  (Some are not so dark, just different.)  Two of the projects found there are below:

Sara W. posted the "Giant Spider in Spiderweb" shown below with full instructions on her blog Mom Endeavors. I like that it uses inexpensive parts you can find in a hardware store.

'Tis now the very witching time of night,
When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out
Contagion to this world.
