Creating the Best Halloween Haunted House

When Halloween rolls around every October, people get the chance to really explore the darker and more creative sides of their personality. Creative costumes and outrageous yard displays are actually smiled upon.  If you are looking to really make an impact this year, consider the creation of a haunted house.

A haunted house is your chance to really show off your senses of humor and horror.  Of course, you need to keep the age of your intended audience in mind.  Chainsaws and snakes might be hilarious for your friends, but they are likely to terrify small children.  For little kids, mummies, black cats, and creepy spider webs are ideal decorations, while a bowl of peeled grapes labeled as human eyeballs can be great for a laugh.

If your intended guests are older, using frightening sound effects and eerie strobe lights can add great effects to your haunted house.  Of course, no haunted house is complete without monsters or zombies, and finding some mannequins or fake bodies can add a great touch.  Fake blood and guts are always great, while having a friend who is willing to hide in a dark corner and jump out at unsuspecting individuals makes any haunted house more frightening.

Your haunted house can easily be as fright filled or as fun as you like. Have fun when creating your haunted house, and you will find that it comes out spooktacular!
