The Halloween season has arrived and you definitely don't want to be caught unprepared! The Halloween season is truly the season for amazing parties, far out costumes and a whole lot of fun. But sometimes the price tag puts serious limitations on the amount of fun that you can get from a Halloween celebration. With the prices of commodities going up at alarming rates, it's very hard to shell out your hard-earned cash on luxuries like Halloween decorations. Does that mean that you should have a drab and uninteresting Halloween because of cash constraints?
l Tormented Souls: You want to evoke the gruesome ends that meet the characters of several horror flicks. Just by looking at several of these characters you can see how grisly their fate was and the mortal terror that they felt as they gave up the ghost. How can you use this fact to make absolutely amazing decorations? Just print out the images of scenes that have movie characters dying. Use Adobe Photoshop to isolate the heads from the bodies and proceed to enlarge and edit these heads. Print them out and glue them to barbecue sticks, and voila! You have a host of tormented souls to line the walls of your house or cubicle.
l Eyeball Stew: Play witch this Halloween with this absolutely cool and disgusting brew. Mix cornstarch with water until the solution thicken, and then add red food coloring for that bloody effect. And then when you've finished take a few pingpong balls and paint them to look like real eyelids. Pop them into your stew and you have a dish that will cause a lot of stomachs to turn and people to scream!
l Monster Feet: One of the scariest things that you can ever find in a bathroom cubicle is a pair of feet that aren't exactly human inside. And what better way to maximize this fear than to create a pair of monster feet? Use papier mache to create a pair of disgusting feet with old boots. Make it as dirty as possible and add things like warts or talons to complete the effect. Once you're done, put them in one of the cubicles in the (preferably female) restroom and you're all set!
These are just a few of the many ideas that you can take advantage of this Halloween. They are cost-effective and truly amazing atmosphere builders. But wait, there's a lot more where that came from! To see all of them, just visit: http://lifehackery.com/2008/10/26/art-design-8/.
