| When decorating your house for Halloween, you can go beyond the
typical decorations and instead opt to give your house an overall theme. Keep in
mind that some of these scenarios may not be appropriate for very young trick or
treaters. Here are a few to consider: Famous Horror Movie Characters | ||||||||||||||
| Find costumes of famous slasher movie characters, like Jason from
Friday the 13th, Freddy Kruger from a Nightmare on Elm Street, Ghostface from
the Scream movies, and so forth. Use wire hangers in the sleeves so you can
position the arms in a frightening manner. Have a few of them lined up along
your pathway or backlit in windows. Witches Brew | ||||||||||||||
| Take three witch's costumes, and stuff and stake them as with the
slasher costumes above. Position them around a large black pot in your front
yard. Place an inexpensive bubble machine in the pot. Put large sticks in the
witches? hands making it look like they are stirring the witches? brew. If you
can find a recording of witches laughing, have that playing as
well. Creature House | ||||||||||||||
| Pick a theme of gargoyles, spiders, or bats. Get several of all shapes
and sizes and place them all over the exterior of your house. Place outdoor spot
lights on them to make them appear even scarier. If you can have the spot lights
on a motion sensor, so that they turn on when people walk by, even
better. Crime Scene | ||||||||||||||
| Recreate a crime scene by lining your walkway with police tape,
drawing chalk outlines on your driveway, playing a tape of screams; even have a
fake body lying under a white sheet. A bloody door cover will also add to the
effect. Haunted Mansion | ||||||||||||||
| You can create the illusion of a haunted house quite easily. Thunder
probes are inexpensive devices that mimic the sound of thunder with flashes of
lightening. You could also have a CD of organ music playing, cob webs all over
the exterior of your house, ghosts in window, and fake rats by the front
door. Window Scenes | ||||||||||||||
| If you want something more elaborate and have several front facing
windows, consider a classic horror film image in each. For example, you will
find a lot of Halloween stores are selling blood covered shower curtains. So you
could recreate the shower scene from the movie Psycho in one window with
cardboard cutouts of the two characters back lit behind the curtain. We hope you have a wonderful Halloween. Please come by and check out our deals, we promise that we will not scare you away. Dress up and bring your costume to our dealership, we would love to see you. | ||||||||||||||
