Halloween Decoration Ideas For Every Budget

Published

on

Halloween is coming. People either don’t care, or are already planning their costumes. I’m going to assume since you’re here, you’re one of the latter. It’s important to remember though that this isn’t just a holiday for people! You can dress up your houses to celebrate as well!

Most people are happy to go out and visit some of the professional haunted houses, complete with actors, but some are equally happy to make their own. For now, I’m only going to talk about the outside of the house. You want a house trick-or-treaters will be both thrilled and scared to walk up to? Well, let’s see if I can give you a few ideas for Halloween decorations.

START WITH A THEME

Of course, one thing you can do is throw out everything Halloween you can get your hands on: spiders, pumpkins, corn stalks, gravestones and ghosts. The better set-ups though are where you have a specific theme, which isn’t hard to do.

MAKE IT AN INEXPENSIVE WEB SITE 

A spider takeover is clean, creepy, cheap, and very easy to do. Bags of fake webs start as low as $3.99 and a good look can easily be pulled off with only a half-dozen bags. Larger fake spiders can be a bit more expensive, or can be homemade to go along with the look.

PLOT YOUR BUDGET WITH INEXPENSIVE TOMBSTONES

Graveyards can be similarly cheap, easy, and fun to do Halloween decorations. One trick I did with my friends was to buy a sheet of rigid insulation from the hardware store, which can get you a sheet of 4 feet by 8 feet for around $15. That’s more than enough to cut out and make a dozen headstones. Just make sure you also grab a saw made for cutting it, the foam will dull your knives pretty quick otherwise.

BRING YOUR OLD CLOTHES BACK TO LIFE

Zombies are going to start getting a bit more expensive. At the very least, you’ll need something for heads, but one thing you can do is take your old clothes, tear them up and splatter them with red. Then stuff them with newspaper and use some boards or even shovels to stand them up. You can also go the more expensive route and buy them as whole plastic and rubber decorations, along with body parts. Some people also use wood cut-outs, which can be painted to be realistic or just painted black and backlit.

Published

on

Eli Roth (Cabin Fever) and Crypt TV are knocking it out of the park with their new VR show, The Faceless Lady. For those unaware, this is the first fully scripted VR horror show on the market.

Even for masters of horror like Eli Roth and Crypt TV, this is a monumental undertaking. However, if I trust anyone to change the way that we experience horror, it would be these two legends.

The Faceless Lady

Ripped from the pages of Irish folklore, The Faceless Lady tells the story of a tragic spirit cursed to wander the halls of her castle for all of eternity. However, when three young couples are invited to the castle for a series of games, their fates may soon change.

So far, the story has provided horror fans with a gripping game of life or death that doesn’t look as if it will slow down in episode five. Luckily, we have an exclusive clip that may be able to satiate your appetites until the new premiere.

Airing on 4/25 at 5pmPT/8pmET, episode five follows our final three contestants in this wicked game. As the stakes are raised ever higher, will Ella be able to fully awaken her connection with Lady Margaret?

Published

on

A new trailer for the movie formerly known as Pussy Island just dropped and it has us intrigued. Now with the more restrained title, Blink Twice, this  Zoë Kravitz-directed black comedy is set to land in theaters on August 23.

The film is packed with stars including Channing Tatum, Naomi Ackie, Alia Shawkat, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Christian Slater, Kyle MacLachlan, and Geena Davis.

The trailer feels like a Benoit Blanc mystery; people are invited to a secluded location and disappear one by one, leaving one guest to figure out what is going on.

In the film, a billionaire named Slater King (Channing Tatum) invites a waitress named Frida (Naomi Ackie) to his private island, “It’s paradise. Wild nights blend into sun-soaked days and everyone’s having a great time. No one wants this trip to end, but as strange things start to happen, Frida begins to question her reality. There is something wrong with this place. She’ll have to uncover the truth if she wants to make it out of this party alive.”
