Ghostly Lighting

We already had to repair the 10+ year old hanging skeleton bride and groom prop we forgot all about and never used before. After barely a week it was found lying on the ground. The hanging strings mounted inside the skulls snapped after exposure to a few days of rain and wind. The glued on groom's "top hat" also became detached. A classic example as to one of the reasons we don't set up the "real" Halloween haunt until just before Halloween in these parts. We installed some eye screws and attached some new hanging strings. We also ditched the "witchy" looking top hat. One of the things that we are very happy about is how the custom color palette of LED C9 bulbs on the house created a nice multitone lighting of the prop down below. While the C9 bulbs don't fit the more authentic/realistic "haunted house/yard haunt" aesthetic, it does create softer and more realistic ambient lighting of the props below. We are able to use less flood and spot lights on the ground actually creating a spookier atmosphere at eye/ground level. The C9 bulbs on the house also serve as a beacon on Halloween night to let trick-or-treaters know there's something of interest to be seen down the street. We have several party pooper houses on our street that turn off their lights on Halloween night, so we upped the ante and doubled down so to speak.
