Hello all,
This year I am going to be having a "Psycho Circus and Sideshow" theme for the Halloween party. The room I was planning on using for the "Psycho circus" section is about 20x12 with an 8 foot ceiling. I was hoping to make it feel like you were inside a circus tent. Some ideas I was toying with were using red and white striped scene setters (or possibly other alternatives like sheets, poly vinyl), etc.) for the walls, and then maybe create an archway/entrance type thing to get into the "tent". I saw a few misc. cardboard entrances online, but they ran from like $70-$250 (and seemed possibly a bit flimsy) so I was considering trying to make something.
I saw a post regarding some outdoor tent ideas, but was just curious if anyone attempted this look indoors. If so, what route you went with. I considered a cheap gazebo inside (maybe chopping a foot or two off the bottom of each leg or something) but with 8 foot ceilings and a ceiling fan to contend with, that might not work. I used upper and lower scene setter rolls last year in the same room to go floor to ceiling and had pretty good luck with that staying up/looking good using sticky tack. So that route for the walls is the front runner at the moment. The room isn't huge, so I am on the fence about the tent "entrance". As cool as it might look, I don't want people to be jammed in a small claustrophobic area. I am planning on having a few full size animatronics in that section as well, so it may end up being a tad crowded...
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!!!
