HALLOWEEN GRAVEYARD SPECIAL EFFECTS
Below are
some of the special effects that you can use to enhance
your Halloween Graveyard.
Sound
Effects
and Music
 We use
portable CD players, set on continuous play, to add
background music and sound effects to our Halloween graveyard.
There's a huge
selection of Halloween sound
effects and spooky music CD's on the market. Using your
computer, you can even mix and match to create your own
custom CD's. Check out the
Halloween Music 101 website for more information.
Thunder &
Lightning
 A
very popular effect is to add simulated thunder and
lightning to a Halloween
graveyard using a lightning machine.
The "Lightning Machine" is
a very realistic lightning simulator in that it produces the
sound of thunder and then bright flashes of light from a
powerful strobe light, just like the real thing. Other
lightning machines generate the sound and light
simultaneously.
This
lightning machine is sold exclusively by the
Halloween
Connection.
Cob Webs
 Haunted attractions
have been using web shooters like the "Webcaster Gun"
to create realistic looking cob webs for years. This
unit uses the pressure of a compressor to transfer the
web material into a stream.
Whether you need close-in webs for detailed work, or are shooting webs over the front of
your garage, this unit can do the job.
The Webcaster Gun and Web Sticks are available from
the
Halloween Connection.
Or you can Stretchable Cob Webs to
add webs to some of your
tombstones. We use a Cobweb Spinner to add cobwebs from
the sides of the tombstones down to the ground. You can
carefully place a few plastic spiders in the webs for an
added scare. Bags of inexpensive stretchable Halloween cobwebs are
available at most stores during the month of October.
Available from the
Halloween
Connection.
Fog
Machines
 There's nothing like a layer of fog floating
ominously through the night air and/or creeping over the ground
to really give a scare to your trick or treaters. Use a fog
machine or multiple fog machines to fill the night air with fog and
put a real chill into your visitors.
You can even build a
"Fog Chiller" device that makes the fog hug the ground when
it exits the fog machine for a really creepy effect. More information can be found about using
fog machines and plans for building a "Fog Chiller"
