Party Decorations
Halloween Graveyard is the best idea for party decorations at your home or venue décor. It has been used repeatedly by scores of people and yet it has not lost the eerie charm and manages to dig out the deep-rooted fear we have of cemeteries right from our childhoods. In this article, we will suggest ways to make interesting graveyard for this Halloween in your backyard or at home:
- Attach a plastic owl, bat or crow to the top of one of the highest tombstones, set as if he is watching the grave.
- Fake pumpkins and vines can be used to make a small pumpkin patch in the center of your Halloween graveyard with a huge scary Jack-o-Lantern in between.
- Graveyard looks great when illuminated by outdoor blue colored flood lights that are hidden somewhere. If you have a space for pumpkin patch, you can use small orange colored flood lights to illuminate that part.
- Hide an audio player in a tree or behind a large tombstone for sound effects such as howling wind, hooting of an owl, sounds of crickets, thundering sounds, crying baby, sobbing woman and other such effects that repeat itself again and again.
- If you are setting up the graveyard over a large area, you may even put up the gothic entrance way, fence columns, wrought-iron fence, some moss around the base of the fence, artificial ivy garlands for the overgrown graveyard look and even fake cobwebs to cover large part of the fence.
- In the backyard, just make 6 to 8 inch high burial mounds for some of the fresh graves and scatter old leaves and twigs around them to look as if the graveyard is haunted and untended.
- Lightning generators with timed sound effects can make your Halloween graveyard an absolute fun.
- Use realistic looking tombstones complete with epitaphs and designs and attach some of them at certain angles or a little crooked to give a realistic look. You may even sprinkle some fine dust on them and add moss around their bottoms or even at the top of a few of them. You can attach cobwebs to some tombstones.
- You can use small fog machines for the fog on the ground with automatic timers and a larger one for the mist in the air. Hide them behind the tombstones or any trees in your graveyard.
