 Lights for a Haunted Atmosphere

You can use special lighting to create a haunted atmosphere. Replace routine lights with colored ones, and place blacklights at some spots. It would be a cool idea to use portable shop lights where you need colored lights.

You also have the option of get flashlights, but you’ll require someone to help you place them. Also, don’t forget to keep extra batteries for emergency backup. It is equally important to ensure safety for those who visit your place for the party. So, while you maintain that eeriness by keeping the lights low, make sure it’s enough for everybody to see clearly.

Sounds for an Eerie Stir

With Halloween approaching near, you can visit a store and easily find cassettes and CDs with scary music and sounds. The plus point is that they are affordable and worth the money you spend. You can also try to record your tape full of spooky sound effects, but the task is time-consuming and you’ll need a lot of time for this.

Spooky Wall Covers

Another fantastic idea to make your house haunted is by covering up your simple walls by big sheets of black plastic. These plastic sheets are not too expensive and you can also use them to create extra walls for a number of small scary rooms. If you want to save money on them, consider using pieces of Styrofoam sheets or cardboard available at home. And, if you’ve already got big black-color sheets, you can use them to cover windows to block too much light from coming in.

Fog for Special Effects

If you have created a tombstone yard in front of your haunted house, let some fog roll over it and this will definitely enhance the haunted atmosphere! You can create fog using a small fog machine that won’t cost you too much. If you don’t want to buy one, use dry ice to get the effect of fog. But, using dry ice is not as safe as a fog machine, for it can injure your skin when touched bare skin.

Skeletons and Bones at the Entrance!

Get skeletons and bone of different sizes and use them as a scary prop. It would be real fun to place them on the entrance of your home! Also, cut a garbage bag and hang up in such a manner that it covers the entire entrance. You can enhance the impact by cutting a few thin strips on the bottom, making the entry way equally scary!

Happy Halloween! Have loads of this fun, everyone.
