Friendly Ghouls & Ghosts
Most humans respond negatively to humanoid monsters, like witches, zombies, or clowns, because of a response known as the Uncanny Valley Effect. To keep your Halloween party seasonal but not-so-scary, decorate with spiders, bats, generic ghosts, and lots of pumpkins!
Skip the Strobe Lights
Instead of neon or blacklights, orange or purple string lights will give your Halloween party the spooky feel without being disorienting or breaking the bank.Â
Pumpkin it up
Speaking of pumpkins – snag a few to make an easy-to-build entrance arch with endless possibilities for customization. For a cheaper option, opt for pumpkin buckets from the Dollar Store. Want to go all out? Add extras like fall leaves, hay bales, or balloons.Â
