The cement handprints in front of Graumann's Chinese Theater could feature webbed ones undersigned by the Creature from the Black Lagoon, little ones for Chucky, big ones for Frankenstein's monster, straight lines from Freddy Krueger, canine paws from the Werewolf, wrapped ones from the Mummy, bat wings from Dracula,.....

 

Strobe lights attached to photography props would work...you should hire a photographer to dress and act like a zombie too lol

 

Great idea! I will have a photo mirror set up, I thought I could dress a skeleton as the photographer.

 

There is an Artist Matt Bush that did a series called Hollywood is dead, mostly its movie posters but could give you some inspiration.

 

We did a haunted Hollywood party a few years ago.
Outside: Dressed skeletons up as paparazzi (cameras) and had one as a director with beret, chair and clapboard. Made Hollywood hills sign by draping tarps over ladders and using foamboard and paint to make the letters. Movie star headstones in cemetery. Printed classic horror movie photos and taped to windows. Red carpet leading to door with velvet rope and sanctions.
Inside: Created a Prop Dept sign and arranged old Halloween props and costumes nearby. Halloween/Dark Oscar party vibe for costume awards and and food. Movie posters. RIP access velvet curtain. Creepy glamou.
Hope this helps give you some good ideas.

Nadine this sounds exactly like what I am thinking!! Do you have any pictures?

 

 

I don’t have a lot of good photos of just props but here are a few

 

Those are great! Nice idea to display the Hollywood sign! Thank you for sharing!

 

What a great theme!

 

Here's some music ideas: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfw-6gcyFMbMWZc-yR7VolXHNvx5PXq28

Are you looking for food/drink ideas as well or just decorations/activities?

 

Any ideas are appreciated! Thanks!

 

Love this theme! We did this in 2020 during Covid

I did a Hollywood theme/Hitchcock theater.

We turned the driveway into a movie theater with Alfred Hitchcock silhouettes above it and invited the neighbors to bring their lawn chairs to watch (socially distanced) 31 nights of Halloween movies… We showed a different movie on the driveway every night for the month of October

We also decorated the front like a Hollywood scene with the Hollywood sign and a booth with the ticket takers out front
Here are a few pictures for you!

Firstly, this is amazing!

Secondly, that looks like the witch from The Halloween That Almost Wasn't.
