HALLOWEEN BLACK LIGHT TIPS

There are many things that you can use black lights to enhance your Halloween decorations and special effects. Painting your props with this invisible fluorescent paint will make them glow eerily under black lights enhancing there overall effect. See how we've used it in our Giant Spider Web articles. You can also use it on Halloween signs, Costumes, Masks, skeletons, bats and other decorations. Paint plaster or plastic skulls with fluorescent paint and display in your graveyard, on fence posts, etc.

Glow-in-the-Dark Halloween Decorations
There are a fair amount of Halloween decorations available that are made to glow in the dark such as the five foot tall "Glow in the Dark Lab Skeleton" or the "Mr. Glow N Bones" wall decoration, both of which make spooky Halloween blacklight decorations.

Both of these and more glow-in-the-dark products are available from a variety of online retailers. Glow in the dark bats or other creepy critters can be hung with black or clear thread from the ceiling inside your house or from the roof of your porch and from tree limbs outdoors and illuminated with ultraviolet light.

Black Light SkeletonFor those on a budget or who want to use multiple skeletons, Halloween Effects carries a plastic five foot tall, glow-in-the-dark skeleton that glows brightly when under a black light. The Halloween prop also has battery powered flashing red eyes in the skull for an added effect.

This year we're going to attach three of these halloween skeleton's on one of our exterior walls facing the front yard, positioned as though they are dancing and illuminate them with a black light. Should look pretty cool! The GID skeleton retails for only $9.99

Glow in the Dark Costumes and Masks
Glow in the Dark Skeleton CostumeHalloween costumes and masks that have glow-in-the-dark or fluorescent properties make a great addition to your black light haunt. One of the best examples of this is the "Totally Skele-Bones" costume. This Halloween costume has very realistic looking sculpted bones that glow in the dark, which makes them perfect for use under black lights.

Unlike most skeleton style costumes that have the skeletal figure simply painted onto the fabric, this costume has sculpted latex bones actually attached to the costume, making them really stand out and look very realistic. These costumes are currently available at the Costume Kingdom Halloween costume store.

Glowing Cob Webs
During the Halloween season you can now buy those bags of stringy cob-webs that are made for black light use and will glow brightly when exposed an ultraviolet light source. When used properly, these stretchable cob webs are inexpensive and can add a great effect to particular areas of your Halloween haunt. The effect can be greatly enhanced by using the cob web spinner to add light webs over and around the stretched out ones. Two people can do a much better job stretching this material out and attaching it to walls, doors, Halloween decorations and props. Just take your time when spinning your webs.

Glowing Tombstones
The Black Light Hair Spray made by Fun World sprayed over the front and side surfaces of a Halloween tombstone shows up very eerily under a black light. We found that spraying the tombstone in the dark with a black light turned on works best to get an even coating all over the tombstone. One can of the Black Light Hair Spray can usually paint between three and five tombstones depending on their size. You can also use glow-in-the-dark paint to make the epitaph's on a Halloween tombstone glow by painting over them or within them if they are embossed in the tombstone its self with transparent fluorescent paint. For more information on making and using Halloween Tombstones visit HalloweenTombstones.com

Black Light Ghost
Ghostly apparitions are always welcome visitors on Halloween night and the "Super Ghost" Halloween prop is a spooky phantom that will spook your guests and is a great addition to any Halloween haunt. This white ghost Halloween prop measures fifty inches tall and will glow bluish-white under a blacklight source.

You can hang this ghost prop from the ceiling, your front porch, a tree limb or anywhere you want to display it. As an added effect, we hide a small oscillating fan a few feet behind the ghost to cause it to gently move in the air. If AC power is not available or practical were you want to place the ghost, you can use a battery powered fan just as easily. Check your local Halloween store for  availablity.
