Frightfully Fun Decorating
Trends for Halloween
(ARA) -The official start of the holiday season isn't
until Thanksgiving, but before you know it, ghosts, goblins and creepy
creatures big and small will descend on a neighborhood near you; and
some of the places they plan to haunt will be all decked out! According
to the National Retail Federation, Halloween is the second biggest
decorating holiday of the year.

Halloween Party Supplies
Want to make this the year your Halloween display takes the prize for
"Best in the Neighborhood?" If so, you'll need to go way beyond the
usual cobwebs and skeletons and keep up with the latest Halloween
trends.
"This Halloween, voice and motion activated props for the home and yard
will take the level of decorating to a new height of fright," says Kim
Boyd, vice president of marketing for Johnson Smith Company, publisher
of the "Things You Never Knew Existed" catalog and, the same company
that brought us the whoopie cushion, rubber chickens, x-ray spectacles
and joy buzzers.
Imagine the screams of delight as the trick-or-treaters who dare to come
towards your house jump out of their skins, spooked by the props you
have set up. Position a pair of Lifelike Kicking Legs, upside down in a
garbage can or popping out of the bushes. The realistic-looking legs
flail about whenever there's a loud noise. Place a convenient-to-store
Fold-Up Wooden Coffin amongst the leaves to add an eerie effect. Set the
Mr. Brains Fogger on top of your front step and watch as fog comes out
of his glowing brain.
Whether your theme is a haunted graveyard, monster house or something
even more sinister, make your front door the focal point. Before the
kids even get the chance to say, "Trick or treat," play a little trick
on them. Have Dr. Shivers - a motion-activated mad scientist - greet
them at the door. The six-foot-tall "man" dressed in a lab coat, white
gloves and goggles, speaks and sings. "He'll have the kids doing double
takes," says Boyd. "Some may even think he's real until they see his
eyes and beaker light up when he slowly turns his head."
"Other popular Halloween props this year include our motion-activated
Stranger at the Door Knocker with hand and forearm that starts rapping
at the door when someone approaches, and everyone loves this one - the
Motion-Activated Eyeball which groans horribly and wiggles back and
forth with lights flashing whenever someone comes near it," says Boyd.
For those who don't plan to go all out, but still want decorations that
will get people talking, put up a set of Eerie Window Covers. The
posters, featuring a bright-eyed skeleton or a creepy cat will scare
passersby. Interior house lights illuminate the posters for a totally
haunting effect.
"If you love Halloween and want this to be the year your display really
shines, don't wait until October to start planning. Order the things you
need now, or like the proverbial ghost, they will disappear," says Boyd.
