Scary Ideas for Halloween – Spooky Gift Guide to All Things Creepy

On Halloween, the costumes are heavily depended upon to bring the scary element of the gala night. The outfits can give dramatically scary effects with the right colour and texture. Scarecrow and skeleton costumes, masks and makeup can heighten the scary effects. Headless horseman, sinister masks, predators and zombies - all weird creatures are welcome on Halloween.

Outfits that imitate these menacing characters can definitely recreate the chilling ambiance. Evil jester and werewolf costumes definitely make a great selection of dresses, so do the vampires and witches outfits. Scars, fake blood and disguises can work wonders with the right outfits. Likewise, accessories, weapons like cleavers and daggers soaked in blood make the attire more gruesome.

Skeletons props, coffins and mutilated body parts give a shiver to many of us. Popping them in strategic places is going to shake your guests and friends with fear. Spiders can really look eerie, bats and cats can enhance the ominous impact. Grim reaper rising from the grave, monsters hiding behind the posters and corpses can produce that disturbing and chilling effect.

Even trees with hanging branches can be displayed threateningly that can cause shocking, unnerving impressions. In the dark hour at night, the trees do look menacing and with a shrieking owl at a high pitch; it can complete the scary setting. Halloween candles, skeleton lanterns, tombstones can heighten the goofy decorations as well.

Devil’s posters, haunting mansions photos and floating ghosts are perfect scene setters to an otherwise boring, empty wall. Screeching, howling ghouls, creepy sculptures and figurines of phantoms adorned on the walls or pillars can introduce fear in the dark hours of night. Posters look awry in green and purple light. Try lighting effect to create the abysmal and hallucinated effects of hell. Dreary, depressing photos are capable of giving the worst nightmares.

The animation does the trick what others fail to do. With the right combination of sound and light, an animated prop that resembles a life size corpse or ghost is capable of giving a heart attack. My advice- Please don’t try with weak – hearted people and kids. Bizarre and supernatural sounds with inflatables and animatronics can shudder and shiver even the boldest and bravest souls.
