NEED HELP - How to spook a fountain?

**madammorrible** · 10-06-2010,07:48 AM

I am doing a Vampire theme outside this year and I have a cool fountain at the entry at my front door. I thought it would be cool if I could add a fog effect to it. Does anyone know how I would do that? There is a picture of it in my albums but since I'm on an iPad I can't seem to paste the BBC code into here. Can someone take a look and help with with some ideas? Would a mist maker do the trick? Should I add lighting? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I'd suggest a mist maker with LED lights or dry ice pellets tho a mist maker would probably be cheaper...your house is beautiful btw

Thanks for the compliment! Do you know if the mist makers come with LED lights? If so, know where is the best place to get em?

I agree with Grotbags about the mister fogger with led lights. I used dry ice last year and it was a pain in the neck to keep it going along with hosting a party. To much effort and it dosen't last that long. Or you could stand in front or it and scream BOO!!!!........sorry couldn't help that one

Yeah they do come with LED lights...i bought mine from Amazon for £25... but they can be found in most pet stores that cater for reptiles or aquariums

Just saw one on Amazon for $23. Search Mist Maker.

I just did one.Used a diffuser with LEDS.Then added some bones around the edges.Also added red food color to the water.And a skull on top.

Looks pretty good at night.

Yep a mister (diffuser) with LED is the way I'd go.

Red food coloring in the water and strands of moss draped over it.

If you don't want to go the colored water route then maybe a red spot light "hidden" in a pile of bones below the fountain placed so it shines up at the fountain.

I suppose if you could get really creative and get a "cheap" plastic hollow skull from say Dollar Tree. Give it a spray of some "faux" stone spray paint. Cut it so that is can covers the lion's head in such a way that the water pours from the skull insead of the loin's mouth. Might have to use a bit of hose to "help" direct the water from the lion to the skull.
