Killer Halloween Party - a course from spookylittlehalloween.com WELCOME TO KILLER HALLOWEEN PARTY Your complete guide to planning one hell of a spooky celebration ABOUT THE CREATOR In case we haven’t met officially, I’m Miranda and I’m the creator of Killer Halloween Party. I’m also the writer and Halloween lover behind spookylittlehalloween.com, the blog celebrating October 31st all year long. I’ve been hosting my own annual party, Halloweenie Roast, since 2009 and have become an expert in every last detail you need to plan to host a killer party. I’m excited to share my knowledge with you and help you plan your own killer Halloween party! MIRANDA ENZOR Creator of Killer Halloween Party HERE’S HOW WE’LL DO THAT: Blogger at spookylittlehalloween.com LESSONS Under each lesson you’ll find one detail you need to plan for a killer Halloween party. You have immediate access to all 11 modules, plus my very best party resources, so you can work through the course at your own pace. Each module has its own set of worksheets, which you’ll find in this workbook! I recommend printing them out. KILLER HALLOWEEN PARTY FACEBOOK GROUP As a Killer Halloween Party student, you can join our Facebook group if you aren’t already a member.

FACEBOOK LIVES Through early October, I will host Facebook Live events in the Killer Halloween Party group on Facebook. Keep an eye out for event invites.

You can also post your questions in the group anytime. YOU’RE IN FOR LIFE! Mwahaha! Okay, it’s not quite that dramatic…but don’t forget you now have lifetime access to Killer Halloween Party.
