There's not a huge amount to this step.

- I had a mini strobe light in front of my house blinking at a pretty slow rate. Even though its small its still quite bright and adds a cool effect.

- I got this really awesome fog machine that is a low-lying fogger, in other words you add ice into the fog machine and then the fog stays low to the ground and doesn't dissipate as fast as normal fog machines. I put this right at my front door and ran the electricity and wired "remote" through the window. I got a big bag of ice that lasted all night, and I still have a lot left over in my freezer. Make sure you buy a good name brand and not a cheapo made in china fogger because the cheap no name ones put out horrific fumes and generally don't work very well. If you do get a cheap one, get a low lying fogger because at least then the fog will stay close to the ground and you and your guests won't be breathing the potentially toxic fumes they give off.

- I also had this thing I got a couple of years ago at a party store. Its a black plastic cauldron that has one of those ultrasonic foggers in it. You fill it with water, plug it in, and it makes water vapor fog which is harmless to breathe. I put this on a small table right next to the front door.

- Right under the table with the fog cauldron I had an old boom box playing an hour long cd of wind noises. It only cost like 6 or 7 dollars and it was really worth it because it made a great atmosphere.
