Thread: Nightmare Before Xmas theme ideas needed..

Tweet

I am looking at doing a nightmare before xmas theme this year, I have done alot of post halloween/post xmas shopping to get stuff cheaper that should work for halloween I hope, but am not sure what to do with my kitchen. Was thinking on making it the lair of the scientist. Then make the living room/dining room a xmas theme (tree with garland with skulls/spiders, handing heads, snowflakes with spiders on them) I figure I can keep the graveyard in the front yard (only live in a townhouse, so nothing extravagant sadly...) and was looking into buying a small snow machine. (I currently have 2 fog machines and a fog bubble machine to work with)

I like to make my own props when posible, hoping to make a giant spider with PVC pipes, to put a 'Santa' on with a lantern in hand (saw a picture online that was pretty cool of a giant spider with a creature on top with a lantern, thought it would work)

Anyone have any good/bad experiences with snow machines?

Any game ideas for a "nightmare before xmas" party out there?

Trying to put off working with compressed air until 2012 =) Kind of intimidated by it...

Sorry for such a long post...just super excited for Halloween... =) and when I found this forum though it was perfect...my husband just shakes his head..lol..'Its only February'...Little does he know I am secretly hoping he bought me a snow machine for my birthday...

What if you made paper mache' stautes of your favorite charactors from the film.
Or perhaps painted some murels on large pieces of paper that could be mounted to walls as sceenary.
