Yeah, be careful with that. I learned the hard way when I tried making a haunted house effect by covering the furniture with white sheets and using black light. Use new sheets! Especially if you are an "active" college student like I was those years ago! I should have tried the black light effect before guests arrived.

Ooops, the system was acting up and I didn't realize the reply posted again.

How about the shower music from psycho, with home made blood dripping all over the tub?

Did it again! Sorry.

[QUOTE=Venomiss;712883.... I'm second guessing the blacklight in the bathroom idea now, though I like a spooky shower curtain idea....the "bloody, did I mention bloody" stuff might be a bit gory for me. I'm not "cutesy halloween" but not gory either. A nice in between! ha![/QUOTE]

I agree, Venomiss, I don't think the black light is going to be a great idea for the bathroom...you know I remember---- Target usually has bathroom items, like hand towels, shower curtain/hooks, bath mats with skeletons, etc. Maybe that's too cutsie? I am sure they will have something nice in this year. They ALWAYS has great stuff that can work for Halloween....hope that helps.

perhaps some spider egg sacks as well. Excellent for small spaces.

I have to ask are you having small children or drunk people at your party? If so you might want to rethink the water idea in the jaccuzi as someone could even drown...... small kids will be attracted to the water when they are going potty and well we all know drunk people.
Now having said that if you are going to do water in it because everyone will be safe and sound then you could do floating candles (pumpkins or leaves) etc.

You could write creepy messages with lipstick on the mirror ... nothing too gory necessarily.

put some caution tape around the outside of the toilet tank and top?

I often sit decorations on the back of my tank too (stuff that is washable of course) pumpkins or candles.

You can find bathmats and soap dispensers that are halloween themed for the sink and towels and washcloth sets as well. So much you can do for a small space.

Oh, no no no, not too cute! In fact, I have orange/black towels as well as spider towels for the room already.

And for whomever posted about the kids/drunks (sorry, forget who at the moment) No kids will be there and the adults? Well...there may be some booze. hahahahaha. The tonic water will only fill about 1" of the tub actually, but I think I'll nix the black light bathroom idea and go with spiders/ghosts and someone mentioned egg sacks. I assume I'll find a "how to" on that one somewhere on the other threads?

Thanks everyone!

We put a Mrs. Bates "prop" in the tub with a knife in her hand. Then we arrange a blond wig and pink nightgown in bottom of tub with lots of blood. Looks like the scene from Psycho. Then we put a strobe light in bottom of tub, gives it an eerie effect, at least till someone turns the lights on. Love the idea of spider sacs and doing the drop down spider. Might try that this year instead. Music in the vent is pretty cool too.

I probably have the worlds smallest guest bathroom. It is not much bigger than an airplane bathroom (not kidding). I completely fill it with spiders. On the walls, ceiling, spider egg sacks. Last year I put one of those silly dropping spiders on the ceiling above the toilet. It scared the crap (literally) out of people. It totally creeps people out. I even had some people who would not use that bathroom because of all of the spiders, so I always make sure one of the other bathrooms upstairs is "guest ready" (read clean!).

you might want a large body skeleton to display in the corner, chained or not with snakes, spiders and rat in certain places. blood splats are must and yes fading screaming, laughters, or what ever that floats your boat is a must. Love the black lights idea.

I am with Venomiss I, too is in between cutest and gory stuff. Much much gory becomes bit too tacky. But that is just me.
