MAKE A DUNGEON
dungeonMake a dungeon in your home that looks real with just a little work. Here are some ideas, or create your own. You can make your dungeon in your home, garage or cellar. The builder made a jail bar fence with PVC pipes inserted in wooden slates. Note all the props.
mad scientist

MAD SCIENTIST:

Have a helper pose as a mad scientist dressed up in ghoulish clothes or a scientists lab coat. This person can help bring your guests through the dungeon, and could also start spooky music playing.
jar

OLD JARS:

Fill jars with water and food coloring. Put some fake plastic bugs, frogs or snakes in some of the jars. If you have a rubber halloween props put in a jar with a food coloring. Complete by making labels for your jars.
mouse

RUBBER MOUSE:

Place a rubber mouse on the floor, out of the way but still seen. Use a real mouse trap.
cobweb

COBWEB:

Place lots of cobweb on the stairs, doorways, windows, and photos. It looks best in corners stretching out to furniture. The more you use the better the look. A nice inexpensive decoration. Please use safety precautions when placing cobwebs around flames or electrical devices.
skeleton

SKELETONS:

Plastic skeletons are great. Have one hanging from the ceiling or place one in a corner sitting or lying down. The more the scarier.
stockade

STOCKADE:

This stockade was made with a few pieces of lumber. You will have to cut 3 holes with a jig saw. Make a dummy using old clothes (stuffed with cloth) an an old mask.

Decorate with antique photographs

electric chair

Electric chair:

The electric chair was made with plywood and some old 2 x 4's. The head piece was made from an old metal bowl and some electrical conduit. Old belts were used to make the straps. This takes a while to make but can be used year after year once it's made. You could put a homemade dummy in it for effect.
