Transform your home into a spine-chilling haunted house this Halloween! Create a ghostly entrance with billowing fog and eerie whispers. Line hallways with flickering candles and cobweb-covered portraits that seem to watch visitors. Set up a mad scientist's lab with bubbling beakers and a "monster" under a sheet. Use black lights and fluorescent paint for a supernatural glow. Add motion-activated props like jumping spiders or cackling witches. Don't forget the sound effects - creaking…

The shopkeepers behind A.J. Soseby decorate for Halloween by hanging wooden brooms on the exterior of their Victorian home.

Halloween ideas for a haunted house attraction: Go beyond visual scares! Engage all senses to create a truly immersive experience. Use directional speakers for whispers that seem to follow visitors. Incorporate scent machines for that musty, abandoned smell. Create temperature changes between rooms. Add tactile elements like hanging strands of "spider webs" or a section where the floor shifts underfoot. Multisensory frights will make your haunted house unforgettable!
