If you want to throw an amazing Halloween celebration this year but you are not quite sure where to begin here’s a step-by-step guide to making your party the one people will be talking about for ages. Step One the Ambience – you cannot have a haunted house with no Haunted house air, it simply won’t work. Consider the light in the room, the clear option is to switch off all the electrical lights and utilize flickering candles around the room. It is true, they do create a wonderfully eerie atmosphere as they throw their shadows around the room but you will need to keep an eye on them through the night, replace them if they burn out and pray that none of your guests knock them over!! A simpler choice is to purchase battery powered tealights. It is possible, believe it or not, buy candle shaped battery powered lights as well as the bulb in the end flickers like a candle.
- My favourite option is to change the lightbulbs, it is easy to Do, secure for the guests – particularly the children and you can use plenty of different colors. Choose green, red and purple bulbs and put the bulbs in your lamps round the home you will be amazed at the results.
- Measure Two the Decorations – You do not have to spend loads of cash on plastic dummies and special effects. If you have got your lighting right then you are half way there. Consider throwing white dust sheets over your furniture. It is a very simple idea but what better way to imply that the house was abandoned. The sheets will also protect your furniture a little as well!
You can also make most extreme haunted houses in Ohio decorations, cut pumpkin shapes or other Ghostly figures from black sugar back the sugar with orange tissue paper. TIP Fold the sugar in half until you cut out your pumpkin shape so once you open the paper up following the face will be symmetrical. Then stick the entire thing on the window with the black sugar paper touching the window along with the orange tissue paper behind it. The black will block out the light in the room but the tissue paper will allow the light through. People walking past the home will see glowing ghostly characters as they walk past your home. You can also make different sized spiders from two Styrofoam balls, a cocktail stick, black paint, black pipe cleaners and giggly eyes. First paint the Styrofoam balls leave to dry. Then connect both balls with the cocktail stick. 1 ball represents the mind and another the abdomen so ensure that the abdomen ball is a bit larger than the head. A small bit of glue will keep the stick in place. Push in the pipe cleaners, four on either side of the abdomen and shape them to make them look like legs. Then stick to the giggly eyes and you have made a creepy spider.
