Strategically placed static props are bound to get the pulses running high especially in a place that is dark and gloomy. Haunted props and inflatables that come in various forms are capable of creating eerie sensations. The body of a person who is dead and yet gives the impression of mutilated life can spark something that is evil and can shake the nerves. Blood curdling zombies sitting quietly in a corner but springing up in action once you approach them can be mischievously unnerving.
Wicked witches appearing and disappearing with brooms at the onset, practicing black magic could be incredibly entertaining. A bewitching sorceress practicing voodoo is sure to give impressive lessons to an apprentice. A preternatural creature resembling a corpse sucking the blood of some unlucky guy in deep slumber is a gruesome sight and yet a very appropriate one for the Halloween night.
Physically unattractive and disgusting, the haunted corpses come in different designs with various body parts oozing in blood. Animation can enhance the impact of all such themes. Try this out on the darkest hour of the Halloween night to see which of your daring friends can resist the fright.

Have you tried Halloween Animation?
In particular, I appreciate the DVDs for the films Corpse Bride and Sleepy Hollow. That's about as scary as it gets for me in terms of movie-watching.
Has there been any research or survey about whether people get more scared by audios or by visuals?
No, but I might this year. A party starting with headless corpses can only become better and better. I suppose guests can arrive on motorized brooms;)
