Fiesta Friday – Setting the Scene Outdoors
There is always that house on the block every Halloween, tricked out to the nines with gianormous spiders and killer zombies, a graveyard scene with smog rolling across the moors, frightening small children. It’s ok, you don’t have to reanact the opening scene from “The Addams Family” to get your yard into the spirit. I call on my favorite woman-in-league-with-the-devil to inspire you…
A giant spider weaves an evil web to ensnare unlucky trick-or-treaters. I’ve made those egg sacks last year, my only problem was using white tights instead of pantyhose. The tights were too thick and didn’t stretch down and hang as well.
If you love carving, try any or all of these shapes on this year’s pumpkin lantern and making an otherworldly path to your front door. Shroud your entrance in darkness with a Witch’s Curtain. If eyes are the window to the soul, then these creepy silhouettes show a souless house.
Over at Better Homes and Gardens, many haunted slideshows await you. Here are a few hightlights….
Scare the pants off passersby with a front yard featuring zombie-like mummies and haunted tombstones. I’m making the tombstones and beetles, I went and got my foam-cutter tool at Michael’s (and with a 40% coupon, became a steal!). Hanging a jack-o’-lantern from a shepherd’s crook creates an eerie but enticing scene, especially at night, it will look like an disembodied head. Another way to add shadowy webs to your front windows, this time with black yarn. A double-car garage door serves as a blank canvas upon which you can place a multitude of Halloween images.
