Halloween is right around the corner, time for spookifying your home indoors and out. As always, the web is full of creepy and creative ideas to suit the most sophisticated spirit or littlest trick-or treater.

If you're looking for Halloween decorating ideas that are a bit offbeat, then Instructables.com is a great place to start. Instructables calls itself, The World's Largest Show and Tell, and it truly is that. People the world over post detailed step-by-step instructions for making everything from a Homemade Fog Machine to Inexpensive Vampire Bats to a thorough set of tips for taking your best jack-o-lantern photos.

That's Clever is very difficult to watch! The videoes jump back & forth, you don't show exactly what the person is doing, and the STUPID comments the crafter makes are AWFUL. For these reasons I no longer watch the show!!!!

I agree with the last comment. The camera jumps around too much and you're trying to make them sound funny, but it sounds cheesy.

I agree with the previous comments. The camera goes quickly from one thing to another and it is not funny, if thats what you are trying to do?? It would be a great show if you just showed what they were doing and not the way it is. I stopped watching it too..
