Halloween -- Some spooky sites
© Wayne Dawe
My heart recently sank when I saw the topic for Deborah Jeter's recent article. For those of you who don't know, Deborah (AKA The Lady with the Hat) is the editor of the very popular Music Education area. What had filled me with such dread? Deborah was doing a series of articles on Halloween! A short while ago I wrote an article about musical artists for kids (be sure to check it out if you haven't read it yet). When Deborah read it she wrote me that she had an article on music for kids (check it out if you haven't seen it yet) ready to go. Luckily we didn't overlap on any of our sites.
As luck would have it, when I checked Deborah's sites against the ones I was preparing to use, I found that we had only overlapped on one site. My fears were all for nothing and I could happily type away. I'm sure you're sick of my ranting so let's get to some scary sites.

little ones browse alone.
Hallmark's Seasons and Reasons page has Halloween history and activity suggestions.

I'll end with two sites related more to horror than Halloween that may interest the older kids. Haunted Corners of the World Wide Web has a good selection of horror related sites on
