Thread: Is this overkill?

Tweet

This is our third Halloween party, & thanks to everyone on here I am more inspired than ever to go all out In my bathroom last year I had a few things here & there and this year I am trying to do a little bit more of the 'Bates Motel' theme by adding bloody towels w/ a monogrammed B etc. We have some flies that my hubby really wants to 'glue' to the toilet hahaha. But I also have potion bottles from last year, a few from this year & a few other little decorations. Is this too much in one little bathroom? I don't want to overdo it with too many little things because I'm too excited & have other people think there is too much going on... Please let me know what you think

depends on how long it takes your friends to relieve themselves of the beer and cocktails. Always nice to have lots of things to look at whilst you do your business! And it looks great too!

I went all out in the bathroom. I figure, with a party, that's the most private place you can be - where you're (usually) alone. Haha. Anyways, that's the easiest place to freak people out and scare them - because they are alone. This year I held my first Halloween Party (been doing Haunts), and I went full-swing turning my tiny tiny bathroom into a Spider Den, with a giant spider and spider victim, as well as spider noises that some "fiends" (As Susie calls them =]) here on the forum sent me. It freaked people out more than anything! So I say go for it!

Thank you Glyphen Those pix are from last year but hopefully this year it will be even better!

Zeltino that is so true, I hadn't quite thought of the 'alone time' people would have to appreciate that part of the party

I was thinking it might just be a mismatch of too many things but now I'm thinking that will be the place people will most likely all see and really look at (Though hopefully not from the floor while hugging the porcelain throne... lmao)

Ahhhh I'm so excited! Finally a little less than a week!

Hey, did the sounds work out well? I just finished my spider bathroom tonight and I think the sounds will be the icing on the cake.

Did you take any pics?

Of course I took pictures . And yes, it creeped people out immensely. It really was the icing on the cake . I posted pictures on my site: The Hauntary

Great Details.

What you did was very tasteful and well done.

A few ideas that count as overkill include:
Having an actor hide in the bathroom
Trying to squeeze a full size inflatable in your bathroom
Placing every prop you own in your bathroom
Taking ever light out of the bathroom or adding 3 or more special effects to the bathroom.



Keep the list going if you have an idea or example of overdone bathroom decorating.

I believe it is the "little things" that make a HUGE difference to an area. When they look around and then start to notice the detail they will talk and say "hey did you see that". So I say add what you want.

I also did a spider room with one of those creepy pictures and stuck in a red light bulb for a really creepy effect. This year I will probably do the same!
