Monster
Footprints
With a magic marker, draw a footprint in a big sponge. Cut out
the footprint. Pour washable paint in an 1/8 inch aluminum pan.
Press the sponge in the paint and sponge footsteps up your sidewalk
to your front door for trick-or-treaters to follow, or around
the side of your dark, spooky house. Flip the sponge upside
down to stamp the other foot.

Green
Pumpkins
Great idea! Carve green peppers as jack-o-lanterns! You can
have a whole row of them, and there are yellow and red peppers
to try as well. Have a whole army of scary faces to greet goblins
at your door.
They will never recover from the fright! |
Ghosties
Crumple up a piece of tissue paper into a ball. Place it into
the center of a flat piece of tissue paper. Pick up the corners
of the flat tissue and twist it around the ball. Tie a twist
tie or a piece of string around the ghosts's neck. Draw a face
with a felt pen. You can hang them up all over the house! You
can also glue on yarn, and make a black hat and cape from colored
paper to make a witch! |
Wicked,
wicked witch
1.Cut the top off of a cardboard milk carton and discard.
2.Cover the carton with black construction paper and tape at
the back.
3.Cut a strip of white paper 3 inches wide and tape around the
top over the black paper.
4.Draw a scary witch's face on the white paper. Glue on some
yarn for the hair.
5.Make a cone-shaped witch's hat with black paper and glue to
the top.
6.Cut out arms and hands from white paper. Cut out feet from
black paper. Tape them to the witch.
7.Glue a popsickle stick to one of the witch's hands.
8.Cut out two small pieces of yellow paper and cut a fringe
on the bottom. Glue one on each side of
the end of the popsickle stick for the broom.
9.You can give these to your friends if you are having a Halloween
party! |
Bobbing
Ghosts
Start with a piece of cheesecloth 2 yards long and 1 yard wide.
Place a helium filled balloon (white is best) in the middle
of the fabric and gather loosely around balloon. Draw a horrid
mask on the cloth with a felt pen. You can put some ghosts in
a box and when people open the box the ghosts will float up
and scare everyone! Or, you can place them on string in front
of an open window or a fan and watch them gently move in the
breeze. |
Icky
Cobwebs
Cut some string into 4 foot lengths and tape them to the ceiling.
You should have a very dim room for this. Just before the victim
arrives you can hold a bowl of water up to the string and get
it wet. When people walk in the wet, slimy string will brush
across their foreheads and scare them! |
Body
Parts
This is a good decoration for a dimly lit room at party time.
Have several bowls of body parts displayed to horrify your friends.
Cut up a bunch of hot dogs lenghwise for severed fingers.Cook
some spaghetti noodles and add some red and blue food coloring
for veins. A bunch of cocktail onions rolling around in a bowl
looks like eyeballs. Fill a red balloon with warm water and
spread it with strawberry jam. Invite your guests to touch your
brain! |

Crunching
Bones Underfoot
Spread some dried bread and pretzels under a rug. When your
guests walk across the rug it will sound like crunching bones
underfoot! |
Sound
Effects
You can record several scary sounds and play it back during
the festivities. A very large sheet of poster board or sheet
metal makes great thunder. Uncooked rice poured onto a cookie
sheet sounds like rain. Crinkle a handful of cellophane for
a roaring fire. To get a good scream you can, well -- scream.
Snap carrots in half for the sound of breaking bones. Flap a
plastic bag in front of the microphone for the
sound of bats. Slowly blow bubbles with a straw into a bowl
for that bog sound. Hunt around your house and the garden to
find a squeaky hinge somewhere and tape it before someone gets
to it with a can of oil. |
Lighting
When you have everything so dimly lit it's a good idea to have
some reflective tape over the Exits. A black light bulb is always
a good effect, especially if you are dressed as a skeleton!
