Black Light Drapes or Doorway Curtains
Here's a spooky effect that works great for a
Halloween Haunted House. This effect replaces your
regular window curtains with product called Creepy
Cloth, that has been treated to glow under
blacklight. For
trick or treaters, place these on the outside of
your windows. For a Halloween party or when you are
inviting visitors into your home, hang them on the
inside of your windows. Position black lights in
such a way that the ultraviolet light is directed
onto the treated curtains, but so that the black
light units cannot be seen by your guests. As an
added effect, a small oscillating fan can be placed
behind the curtain to cause the them to gently move
as if by some unknown and minicing force.

Glowing Messages
Write scary warning messages on
your front walk or walls of your house using colored chalk or washable fluorescent paint.
Be aware that even if a product says that is water
soluable or easy to clean off, always do a small
test on the area you want to use it on and then make
sure that you can actually wash it off
completely.
Glow in the Dark Silly String
Did you know that they make fluorescent Silly
String? This acts as a great Halloween party favor
for your guests to have a Silly String war under
black light.
Glow in the Dark Clothes
You
can also buy or even make your own t-shirts and
other clothing that will glow in the dark. Fabric paints
that are fluorescent
are available in many colors and work well for
hand painting your own Halloween designs on to clothing.
Window Painting
Here's a really cool effect we came up with a few
years ago. Using water-base fluorescent paint, paint
pictures on the outside of your windows, such as
Jack O' Lanterns, spiders, bats, etc. Now place a
black light unit inside the house directed at the
painting to cause it to glow.
Glow in the Dark Halloween Decorations
Use florescent fabric paint or
spray paint to add flare to your props or goblins in the graveyard.
Phantom Foot Steps
Make a foot shaped sponge and then use it like a big
stamp to make glow-in-the-dark foot steps on your
walkway, driveway, ceiling, etc.
Spectral Leaves
A really cool, easy and cheap effect for your
graveyard or somewhere in your haunt if you are using a black light is to get the biggest
leaves you have laying around in your yard and spray paint them with
fluorescent paint, let
dry and then scatter around your ghouls or Halloween tombstones and when you turn on your black light
and your leaves will glow brightly!
Glow
in the Dark Food
We've been asked by many people if there is a safe
and non-toxic additive that can be mixed with food
that will give it
fluorescent properties when under black light.
Unfortunitely, we have not been able to find one and
caution you against adding anything to food or
beverages that you beleive will make it glow in the
dark unless you know without a shadow of a doubt
that it is safe for human consumption. Tonic Water
contains quinine
and will glow under a
black light.
