If you want to transform your party area into a haunted haven that will thrill and delight all of your guests, then try these Halloween decorations to create a spooky atmosphere:
- Create artificial mist! Fill buckets halfway with water, and add dry ice. There should be enough water to cover the dry ice, and the proportions should be 2 parts water to 1 part dry ice. Warmer water will create thicker smoke, but it will disappear quickly. Cooler water will create thinner smoke, but it will linger longer. Place the buckets around the party area, but make sure the children can't get into them. Dry ice is dangerous when touched.
- Inflate a variety this halloween balloons at every corner on the house.
- HIT A MONSTER PINATA
- Cover the party food table with a black or orange tablecloth and a selection of scary items such as plastic bugs, rats, and skulls.
