Creating an Indoor Halloween Atmosphere

Step 4 Add your personal touch...

Add your own personal touch. I have an eye theme going through my haunted house. There are eyeball creatures that watch you as you walk through to ring the doorbell. I thought I would add some eyes on the inside too. I have a piece of colored glass hanging up that represents an eye. I’m not sure where this originated from, since I’ve seen it claimed to be a Native American tradition, a Mexican tradition (although that could still be Native American), and an Indian (from India) tradition. Wherever this originated from, you are supposed to hang it by your front door and it should keep out any evil spirits. Although my paper machie spirits outside will be coming in anyway after Halloween.

I also have a wonderful painting of an eyeball that is also hanging in this raised area by my front door. No one really notices it, but it’s still there continuing the Halloween theme.

Depending on how your house is set up, and what your Halloween theme is, do this to your own liking. This is the way I did it, but by no means is it the only way to do this. Get creative!
