There's no lack of resources in October for Halloween party decorations, props and accessories! Look around the discount and novelty stores for all kinds of traditional spooky items for your party that will scare your guests silly.

Jack-o-Lanterns What's Halloween without a jack-o-lantern? Find some stencils to carve or paint scary faces on your pumpkins to add the traditional touch to your party.

Candles

Use candles inside your carved jack-o-lanterns to make the facesglow. Put some dark colored candles in creepy candleholders around your snack table for a gothic touch. Use caution with open flames and make sure no costumes will come near them.



Crepe Paper Use traditional crepe paper decoration to add

Halloween colors to yourparty table and anywhere else you see fit. Spider Webs Buying fake spider webs is one of the most cost-

effective decorations. They're cheap and can be found at your

local discount store. You can make your own with cotton batting

found in the crafts department. What's a spider web without

spiders? Pick up some creepy fake spiders to add to the webs. Better

yet, add some fake bugs too for your spider's victims.



Fake Blood What's creepier than blood? You can find fake blood in the stores or make your own blood cheap! Using fake blood is better left for outdoor parties if you're concerned about any messes or staining. If you use it indoors, make sure it's contained. Shadows Cut out spooky shapes such as a bat, ghost or cat in some heavy construction paper. Tape it to a flashlight and place it in a strategic position to make your guests look twice.



Sound Effects There's plenty of tapes and CDs

available with creepy sounds suchas lightning, screams, banging and

creaking. Use these outside orin an entryway for the element of

surprise. Lighting Effects Use special lighting to compliment

your sounds. Dim lighting isalways preferable to set the spooky

setting and a strobe light addsa special touch to simulate lightening.

A black light sets anunsettling atmosphere and can be

found in most party supplystores.



CoffinsUse your imagination! You can build your own coffin with 6-8 wood pieces and place a dummy in it. Or consider having it closed and place one of those fake arms coming out of it. Add some fake blood to the side for a downright gross affect. ScarecrowsPerfect for the Autumn season, scarecrows are fascinating to look at and add mystery to your yard. Set the atmosphere for your scarecrow by adding bales of hay, cornstalks, and Indian corn -- and he'll definitely get attention. Use our scarecrow instructions for easy homemade scarecrows. http://skype-englishschool.com/


Tombstones Perhaps one of the creepiest things is a tombstone

with the inscription R.I.P. which isreminiscent of old-time graveyards believed to be

haunted according to old myths andurban legends. You can find tombstones in the holiday

section of most stores aroundHalloween, or make your own and add some

originality! Fog Machine There's nothing like fog around to send chills up your

spine. Fog machines are easier to find these days around

Halloween and aren't near as expensive as they used to be. Most

fog machines are water based and are simple to use.



Paint it Black Go gothic with a black party scheme. Choose all black decorations and tableware. Buy some flat black spray paint for items such as vases, napkin holders, pumpkins -- anything you can think of. Don't want black? Try purple, orange, or midnight blue. Ravens Create chills with ghastly grim, black ravens, sparrows, or crows placed on shelves, tables, and unexpected places like on the serving table or in the bathroom. Your guests will get goosebumps at the ominous implications of seeing these mysterious birds indoors.
