People celebrate Halloween with the same zeal as Thanksgiving and Christmas. Decorating for Halloween has evolved over the years, and many homeowners now go to great lengths to turn their humble abodes into horrific haunts. Achieving a haunted house vibe is easier than one might think with some creative ideas.
Dim the lights — Turning down the lights immediately increases the spooky factor for Halloween. The mind may jump to its own conclusions about what is nestled in a shadowy corner or just around the bend. Turning off lights and relying on flickering candles or bat tery-operated lanterns will also hide any imperfections in your decor.
Direct light upwards — Outdoors, position low-an- gle spotlights or floodlights pointing up at walls or trees to cast long, harsh shadows that seem scary.
