5 Halloween Lighting Ideas That Will Scare Your Guests

Halloween originally was a Celt festival. The Celts believed that on October 31, the boundary between the world of the living and the dead became penetrable. This allows spirit to enter the world of the living and roam freely.

Spooky right? And from that arose the tradition of Halloween celebrations. Halloween now is a fun holiday, and half of that holiday, if I am not exaggerating, is decorations. Read this article for a stunning five Halloween lighting ideas that will scare your guests.

1. Color Light the Whole House

Use colorful and bright Halloween lights to light up your house. For example, you can use orange light to give the house an eerie feeling by placing the light in strategic places. Turn off your conventional white light, and turn on the orange or purple lights of Halloween. To get this effect, you can use Ollny's RGB lights; they come in 16 single bright colors and 130 lighting modes that include Halloween colors and Christmas colors.

2. Light Up the Fence

If you have a fence, then you have an additional perfect spot for Halloween lights. You certainly don't want your fence to look dull and bleak on Halloween. Halloween string lights can be used to create a creepy and eerie atmosphere. Place them along the edges of the fence horizontally, or you can place them in vertical parallel lines.

3. Use Halloween Spider-Net Lights

Combine the traditional look of spider nets with the modern use of string lights for decoration by using spider net lights. Place the spider net lights on trees, eaves, bushes, or in the corners of your yard. You can also place them inside the house and enjoy the purple twinkling of light from Halloween.

Features of Ollny’s Spider-Net Lights:

It measures 17.4 feet in length.

Has 454 LED lights.

Contains 8 lighting modes.

IP67 Waterproof.

4. Candlelight Your Home

For a touch of vintage and tradition, I would recommend trying candlelights. Candlelights are perfect if you do not want to go too far with the scary look. You can place them on the corners of your house, the dining table, and above the fireplace. Make sure that they are out of reach of kids and far away from anything that can catch fire, like curtains. An old-looking candelabra would definitely look great.
