Thread: Monsters in the House

Tweet

We transform our house room by room for our annual Halloween Bash and I am always looking for some new "in house" decorating ideas.

I have lots of bathrooms and would welcome any ideas on our to make different bathrooms really scary. I currently have a blood bath and a Bates Motel bath. Any thoughts?

I was gonna say do a bates motle bath secne. I was thinking you could do a card board cut out in the shape of humans. You put them in the bath tub, get a white shower curtian, add a little lighting so it looks like you see the shaddows. Get it?


In Nightmare on Elm Street they have a part where freddy comes out of the tube when the girls in there. This could be cool to to have there shaddows.

In Slither, they have a bucn of bugs and stuff, so you can make it full of insects.

There's just so much you do. :-)

Post Pics!

In the bathroom for Halloween, I'm a big fan of sounds (HA!)...

Creepy sounds like a little girl singing ring around the rosey and giggling. Something that would scare you if you were alone - and in this case, alone on the crapper.

I thought about doing a 'spider' room in the bathroom. Take some of that material (I forget what it's called, but there's a thread on it somehwere) that looks like a sheet, but you cut it and stretch it out. Put it all over the place and make the room claustrophobic-y.

I think that stuff is called... meat cloth, or beef cloth, or something...

Cheesecloth? I like to use that in the bathroom, drape it around the lights and stuff like that.... I also like the idea of a bug room.
I know there was a thread somewhere here about a voodoo bathroom that had some good ideas.

You could always do one up like the bathroom scene in Trainspotting That was beyond disgusting! Or like in Poltergeist where the closet transforms into a portal to anotherdimension, with lots of goo on the door frame and weird lights inside? (Not sure if you'd want to keep that a usable bathroom). There's always the dungeon scene, with corpsed bluckies hanging from the walls. Hmmmm, many good ideas, too little time...

DeadTed - the stuff you're talking about is indeed beef netting (or beef tubing) and can be found at trentonmills.com. They were great to deal with. I ordered some this year for the first time and can't wait to see how it looks!

One thing that has always gotten me scared after a scary movie. Is the thought of something coming out of the tolet while you are on it. I don't know how you can make a tolet scary, but that would be cool.

I just chimed in on someone changing their theme for their house. maybe little mermaid face down in the bathtub? do you have any pneumatics? a jaws coming out of the tub would stop me from goin( sort of trash can truma)?

Thanks for the great ideas -- I love the beef netting and something coming out of the toilet. Has any ever seen the toilet monsters? Do you they look as cheesy as look in the pictures?

Yes! Thank you. I was trying to find that site.
