There's lots of other props and decorations we use, that I didn't really want to do an entire page for, but are still cool. The picture above, for example, is a very simple, yet awesome addition to your haunted house. It's simply black plastic cut out in the shape of the eyes, and taped over the windows. But as you can see, it looks really cool! You can also cut out other shapes, such as ghosts, bats or whatever. *New Items added on 9/8/04* |
Another quick
easy thing Hallowbean did this year was make some pillars to go with
her small fence around her yard. These columns were from American Science
Surplus. She attached the spiders, snakes and bugs, and sprayed them
with stone spray paint. Click on the pics to get a better look. |
A better look
at the bugs attached to the columns |

A pair of different
columns out of styrofoam, fake roses and a blucky skull. Again, sprayed
with stone. |

To go with
the columns, and the fence in the yard, Hallowbean made this gate out
of PVC, tiny tim skulls, and a GID Plastic decoration, sprayed with
stone |

Poseable skeletons are great for Halloween. There's endless possibilities with them. They're relatively cheap, you can get them at Walmart for under $15 and the possiblities are endless! We've posed them all over our yard and inside our house. You're only limited by your imagination. Here's a sample of the fun we've had with these skeletons. |
This was our first attempt at a Flying Crank Ghost. We used the design at this address: http://www.geocities.com/ghost_relations_999/FCG.html Even though it's simple, it still is effective and looks very good. |

| A view from the back and side. You can see the styrofoam head we placed under a thin white sheet, then placed a black light directly behind it, then a fan to make the ghostly sheet flutter. The head is attached to the mechanism that moves the ghost around in the window. |
