Add lots of spider webbing to all of your décor. Remember when taking it out of the package to spread it out thin to get maximum coverage. It becomes more realistic as the strings become thinner. Also, consider getting glow-in-the-dark spider web to add that extra layer of spookiness in the dark.

Look for old or discarded furniture and spray paint it black or grey. This can help form a fortress-like path through your haunted house. Place a skeleton or other prop upright in the chair to give a life-like effect. Note: a rocking chair would be perfect for this.

Scatter branches and leaves around the ground to create an un-kept look.

Spray paint leaves, branches, twigs, and bushes black, grey, or white from top to bottom in irregular patterns.

Fill latex gloves with air and spray paint them black or grey. Attach them to the ground so they will move like creatures unassumingly in the wind.

Use dirt to build mounds and create burial plots. Remember to space them at least of few feet apart to give the appearance that there are bodies or creatures beneath the soil.

Use dirt to surround props such as skeletons, skulls, and piles of bones.

Add crazy string, strobe lights, black lights, and fog machines to enhance the ambiance of any haunted scene.

Use old clothing or cloth that can be torn and shredded to make the walls and ceiling look abandoned and decaying.

Hang fake spiders, bats and little critters from the ceiling throughout the entire attraction. This simple tip can be most effective to the unassuming visitor as he/she walks through the attraction. These can also be hung from trees and bushes outside to add that quintessential Halloween touch.

Add squeaky rats and mice to the floors. High pitched squeaks create an instant scare and an uneasy feeling.

If using non-level ground like hills or stairs for your attraction, make sure they are easy for your visitors to safely navigate.

Above all, safety first…scare and entertain second! Have Fun!!!
