Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

I should have been a bit more clever with my clues...
Yes my theme is going to be Circus/Carnival An old fashioned Carnival circa 1890-1920
Only not as they looked then but how it would look now if it were suddenly dug up ...
so to speak. My friends and I have been painting these cool sideshow posters and I am going to put up small tents outside there will of course be a fortune teller and a few pop out scares booths with a few win a prize games..only the prizes will reflect the holiday. I am hoping to be able to find a couple of live acts that I can hire, like a fire eater or something I am looking into it. Inside the house I am going to drape the ceiling with fabric so that it looks like you are inside a tent. Its very ambitious but I want to come back with a Bang!!!
If you have any Ideas please post them I would love to hear from you.
Thanks

Clowns.

Definitely clowns.

Clowns freak me out (can you tell?).

Lots of scary creepy leering grabbing clowns

I've never understood how anyone could get freaked out over a clown!


All you really have to do is ad a sweet little 'clown nose' and you have instant looooooooooove...... example....
Here's the lovely Mrs. OEJ before the clown nose...

And here she is with.....

See how cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!!!!!
The Santa hat makes it that much more cute!

Hey Spookyboo, I just love your theme, it sounds spectacular! Well I don't know if these are all possible, but they are just ideas like what you wanted. A Creepy Looking Carousel playing creppy music. One Cd I have in mind is one that I own. I listen to a lot of Nox Arcana, and they made a CD based on an old Haunted Carival, the Cd is called "Carnival of LOst souls" it would be perfect for your haunt, and I think you will agree so be sure to check it out. Their website is http://www.noxarcana.com All their music is just beautiful and perfect for Halloween or if you're like me, then year round.
And I agree with MammaHooch, CLowns freak the Sh*T right out of me, especally the evil looking one like from Steven Kings movie IT.
ANd what about a touch of good ol New Orleans, you could have some Voodoo women doing something, and some people wearing some of those freaky masks like they wear at the Mardi Gras, they turn and look at you as if they are looking right through you.
Well thats all I can think of at the moment. Kudo's to you for coming back with such a bang, thats so inspiring

OMG OEJ! You just crack me up, I can always seem to count on you to make me smile What you did with those pictures are just sooo cute And if you don't mind me saying, the MRS OEJ is very Beautiful and kind looking Thanks for the pictures

Thanks so much for the Information I have ordered the CD you told me about.
It was a great Idea!!! You just gave me so many Ideas ....I am so glad this forum exists
Thanks again.

Who's clowning around??


Thanks for the info, spookyboo!

BTW, OEJ, love that evil clown pic!

MHooch - Clowns freak me out too!!!!!! I do not know why but I believe they freak lots of people out. Perhaps its because they can some how fit 15 of them into a miniature car....

who was that serial killer who dressed like a clown. cady?

(jumping up and down waving my arm franticaly)

Lol, ok spookyboo, who was it

John Wayne Gacy

I'm sorry Spookyboo, I felt like I completely ignored your post. And I've gotten on other people for doing the same thing. I got cued into the clowns and got side-tracked. You really do have a good thing going there.
How about a skeleton ring master?

Well of course it was John Wayne Gacey
I so should have logged on earlier...someone else beat me to the answer

I .. hate.. clowns.. *shivers*

But in other news, your theme sounds spectacular - from your hint I had guessed that it would be a circus theme but I still thought it was a very clever clue! It's going to look amazing - kudos to you for such a visually rich idea.

If you can, post pics on the progress - I'd love to see them!
