Thread: Television Decor?

Tweet

Hey all,

I am having my first Halloween party the 17th. I have a big screen TV mounted to one of the walls in my living room, where the party will mainly be.

I was hoping to find something cool to show on the screen. Maybe a candle floating around burning, or a skeleton's head. Just anything.

Does anyone have any ideas of where I can get something like this, preferably free? Let me know! Been looking around online for a couple of hours and couldn't find much.

Edit: I have a computer, as well as a Blu-Ray and DVD player hooked up to this TV, so I can really play any type of media on it. So Screen Saver's are an option, but I haven't seen one that is really crisp and nice.

I got three DVD's at Halloween USA (I think they are an offshoot of Party City) for 99 cents each. One is a series of xrays, one is a skeleton hand writing phrases and the last sort of a museum thing with famous paintings "creeped" up.

Yeah, they sell those at Party City too. I got 3 of them, but the x-ray one (green) is my favorite. I just wish it was widescreen. I can stretch it, but then it looks funny. ...another cool efffect, go to Ikea or something and buy the color changing led lights and tape them to the back of your tv facing the wall. I usually run it on random, but for the party I'm gonna put it to green to go with the x-ray dvd.

Really? I didn't see them on their website!

I don't know how your party city is laid out, but at mine, on the end aisle of halloween stuff, near the register is a dvd display... about 6' tall by 2 dvd's wide. I'm sure your store has them somewhere, just ask. Btw, I'm in Sacramento, CA

Wasn't at the Party City near me (Glen Allen, VA). Nor the Spirit Store.

Anyone have any other ideas? I'd really like something like this!

You could rip and burn scenes from horror movies and fill up a disk to play on the TV.

I bought some old horror movies at Walmart in the $5 bin to play on my TV during the party. I'm not putting the sound on just the video. But I got some Alfred Hitchcock movies in that bin I thought would be cool for ambience.

We usually have The Nightmare Before Christmas playing on our tv. Kind of a tradition like we have A Christmas Story playing on Christmas Eve.

Running any old black and white horror movies without sound works well - that is what we do for our party.

There is also the Hallowindow, which I believe you can download from his site or order the dvd. It is awesome. Hallowindow - Mark Gervais

There is also one of our site sponsors, the really cool BigScreamTV - Welcome to LightForm Productions, Inc.
