    That's a neat idea, I thought maybe they were lightning bug lanterns.

    Hey thanks.

    As far as hanging everything, I just stapled gunned it to the ceiling. You see, we're redoing that room and the roof is nothing more than some painted wood someone put up there previously. We actually JUST took down the camo netting this summer --- yes, that room was a forest for over 7 months.

    I first stapled black weed mat, then stapled the camo netting (heavy - needed a lot of stapes).
    Needless to say, when we took this stuff down, there were hundreds of staples in the ceiling, lol. All with little pieces of weed mat in them.

    A few years ago we hung up the camo netting in our previous residence, but couldn't afford the luxury of a crappy ceiling that could be punctured like swiss cheese; so instead I put in some hooks. Just the screw in type and different spots and hung the net from that.

    It worked well and held up better than I thought. So, staples or hooks.

I know it sounds odd, but it looked very cool.

    Wondering if you figured out how to post pics. Would love to see what your talking about. Looking to do something on the Aranamuerta's tree with the skulls etc, but your description of the hauntshow booth tree sounds interesting. Would love to see.

    I agree about AranaMuerta's Death Tree being the best! I just thought I'd share an alternative. AmScan's tree is more "crafty" than scary.

    We bought materials last week, and should start construction this week.

    I have a tree in my yard that I decorate each year. I purchase cheesecloth from a fabric store and then use RIT dye with dark grey or dark green and then rip (not cut - rip!) it into pieces and throw it over the limbs - it mimicks the spanish moss look pretty well.

    I ran across this TUT in another forum . because of its simplicity you will be able to make more than one. I would add more limbs. I am sure you can get real creative.
