Skip the usual orange and black color scheme! This Halloween, opt for something a bit different. Red is a bold, chic choice that not only packs a big visual punch, but also allows you to recycle  decorations from Christmas, Valentine's Day or Fourth of July to keep costs down.

Once you have the how-to on all the DIY decorations, don't forget the creepy cocktails for both kids and adults, or your Halloween party foods! Read on for all my Halloween tips, recipes and more!

Tune in to TV Land's "Best Night In" Monday, October 18th to see me share all my ideas between the commerical breaks!
