Ready to take Halloween to the next level? We have advice — and photos — from extreme decorators.
for another spooky season of perfectly-acceptable-but-nothing-special Halloween decor, allow us to nudge you toward some self-reflection: What if this year you went all in?Pandora Rose’s home in Aurora, Colo., has carried that honorific since 2009, when she first transformed the modest 1980s residence into, festooned, depending on the year, with the trappings of a haunted forest or a dark carnivale. Always a lover of Halloween, she and her husband married on the holiday.
Delawder also suggests incorporating your hobbies, which can save money. If you’re into kayaking, for instance, put out your kayak and throw some skeletons in it. Paul Brubacher, director of operations at Markoff’s Haunted Forest, an annual attraction in Dickerson, Md., says his team’s ideas tend to come from “our own things that creep us out and what we get the shivers about.” Inspiration also often strikes unexpectedly, for example, while shopping at Home Depot: “I’ll just see something in the plumbing aisle and go, ‘Oh wow, that right there looks like an interesting fitting.
Still, if you had your heart set on dismembered body parts, there are ways to be playful about including them, says Delawder. A recurring feature at her Historic Herndon Halloween House is a haunted grill, which has faux parts over the flame. “But it’s not disgusting in any way. It just kind of looks fun and whimsical,” she says.
