This Halloween, don't settle for the usual Jack O' Lantern as your decorative display. Get in the spirit this haunted eve by creating a bewitching experience for the neighborhood goblins and ghouls. Creating a Halloween landscape is a great activity the whole family can enjoy.

Strings of lights aren't reserved for just December holidays, begin decorating your tree with lights. Next, add spooky accents by placing groups of Jack O' Lanterns, tombstones and cobwebs around the tree base.
To create tombstones, cut different sizes and shapes from cardboard or styrofoam. Spray the stone cutouts with a coat of Fleck-Stone spray paint, allow them to dry, then use acrylic paints to write sayings on the stones such as "R.I.P." or "Dracula lies here".
For mood lighting around your Halloween creation, place a small candle in a Jack O' Lantern with a hole in the back. This will create a truly haunted feel. The flicker of the pumpkin light will cast spooky shadows sure to scare.

Create a path of Monster Footprints leading treaters to your door.
Cut a large monster shaped footprint out of cardboard to use as a stamp. Be sure to flip over the footprint and cut a matching pattern for the opposite foot. Coat each stamp with washable paint and press along your sidewalk. Remember, the larger the space between steps, the larger your "make-believe" monster appears!

Purchase dry ice and place in a bucket wherever you want extra haunting. Simply add 1-2 pounds of dry ice to every gallon of hot water. Consider using a crock-pot to keep the water warm throughout the evening. Show off the creepy fog with accent lights shining from the ground.

Have bobbing ghosts haunt your yard!
Cover a helium balloon with a sheet, draw a ghost like face and tie off at the neck. Secure the balloon string to a support (perhaps a rock or tree-branch) and let the ghostly activities begin.

Use some creativity and imagination and your house will be the hit of the neighborhood.
And don't forget the Halloween candles!
