How to Turn Your Garage into a Haunted House
-
Clean Out the Garage
Before you turn your garage into a spook-tacular experience, you must organize and completely clean the space. The more stuff you organize and move, the more room you’ll have to work with for the haunted house. -
Set the Tone With Black Lights
Black lights are available as compact fluorescents, and you can use them to replace the ceiling lights in the garage. The lights cast an eerie glow perfect for haunted houses. -
Create Blind Corners
The secret to a spooky haunted house can be found in blind corners. Here are a few tips for turning your garage into an ultimate haunted house. Hang sheets from the rafters to make rooms. -
Fill the Garage With Fog
To make the garage progressively darker and create a series of compartmentalized rooms, you can also hang sheets down from the rafters. -
Secure Monsters From the Ceiling
Dangling some witches, ghouls, or monsters from the ceiling gives the garage an authentic haunted house feel. But make sure your props are securely held in place. -
Eliminate Sunlight
Block light by painting windows black using water-based latex paint. Remove the paint after Halloween with a razor.
The goal is to create space and transform the garage into a haunted house experience for Halloween. Follow these steps for maximum fright.
