This year, I made a PVC frame (last minute) for the Ape
costume, stuffed him with plastic bags and newspaper and threw
him in the shower. He gave many quite a shock when they had to
use the bathroom. A few didn't trust that he was not a real
person.

I covered the walls in the bathroom in black plastic and
threw some garland around as a border.
|
I had several of these cheesecloth and blow mold skull ghosts
hanging around the house. This one is in the family room.
There was a blacklight opposite it on the plant ledge between
the family room and kitchen so it glowed nicely.

My fireplace was pretty cool. I had about 8 of those
blow-mold skulls in there, and I cut holes in the bottoms of
them and filled them with twinkling red string lights. I placed
a bit of gray spray-painted batting under them and mixed some
red lights with it to simulate embers. The effect is ruined by
my bad camera skills in this pic, but you get the idea.
|
I have 2 of these 3-foot posable skeletons from WalMart this
year. They stay up on the ledge all year long, and are
affectionately named "Castor and Pollux" (Yeah, I'm a Gemini!)

I used a little cheesecloth and a blow-mold skull to make a
cheap and easy swag-type thing to go over the doorways to most
of the rooms. This is on the walkway thru the kitchen from the
dining nook.

Just a little shot of some tealight holders I got from Big Lots. I plan on having a nice collection up there, mostly of cats. |
