How to Decorate Your Oven For Halloween - Exploding Squash




The VERY first thing you need to do to decorate your oven for Halloween, is to drop your cell phone and have it skid across the floor.

When you pick up your said phone noisemaker, you need to have a black screen or a white screen. Those colors both match the Halloween Decorating color code. 

You need to have the phone break in such a way that it will make scary noises and only allow you to hear things on speaker phone. 

No other sound can be heard from the phone or it will ruin the excitement of getting to hear all your calls on speaker.

There is mystery involved when you can't see who is calling you and this only gets more intense when you hear that you are getting text messages that you will never be able to read or retrieve.

Once you have built up enough intense feelings over this phone holiday spirit, you then put a roast in for dinner. 

Once you have that done, you then call the local Halloween spooky support staff at the cell phone company. After being on said spooky support call for nearly 2 hours getting your new phone hooked up and then for some reason, the contact back up function isn't working, (I don't think they wanted me to be able to invite all my friends to the decorating party) You have your support gobblins arrive home from haunting school.

At this point, said Goblin number Five asked if I put squash in with the roast. Being so focused on the sound effects for Halloween, I told her I forgot but, if she wanted to throw a few in, she could. 
 
She rinsed them and threw them into the caldron.While I was on with the Spooky Sound Support, there was a huge "BOOM!" and the oven door flew open as the squash reacted in the caldron to the heat I guess.... 

Guts flew out the oven door onto the floor and surrounding drawers and then the haunted oven door slammed shut on its own. 

The degree of decorating that the haunted ghost of the oven did was beyond compare. I couldn't have done the same. I quickly turned off the oven after screaming in horror into the phone to the Spooky Support worker. He then replied with his own worried words asking if I needed to get off the Noise Making Device! 

I assured the Spooky Support worker that cleaning the hot guts off the floor and oven would have to wait until they weren't so hot.

I started cleaning the guts off the floor and drawers before Goblin Number 2 suggested that I take some pictures so she could see the wonderful decorating by the haunted oven.

The bigger problem, was that the "guts" had baked on the interior quite well while the Caldron was cooling making extraction VERY difficult in some situations. 

Goblin Four was kind enough to help me with the skeleton portion spraying and wiping them over and over. 

I thought about heating the Caldron to Self Clean but figured the smoke that came with that and the three and a half hour process may make the house full of smoke which would help with the decorating effect looking, like fog, but may make it difficult for the goblins to breath.

I hope you got the main instructions on how to decorate your oven for the holidays in the post above. Make sure that your helper Goblins don't know that when putting spaghetti squash or potatoes in the oven, they need to cut air holes in the sides. Potatoes would look like great brain matter and the spaghetti squash is the winner for guts! 

Happy Decorating!
