Halloween Room Makeover: Making a Haunted House

Hey there, it’s me, Elwin. You guys know how much Hailey and I LOVE decorating rooms, right? So as you can probably guess, Halloween is one of our favorite times of year. We can really let loose and go crazy with the decorations. And every year, our dad lets us transform his study into a wild haunted house, where we take trick or treating ‘Kinz on a terrifying tour of our spooky space!

Here is what our dad’s study usually looks like:

Pretty nice, huh? This classic room is the perfect starting point for our deathly den with its Wizard Wallpaper and Flooring. All we had to do was move out some of our dad’s more modern pieces and then bring in some of the awesomely awful Halloween decorations we’ve collected over the years.

And here is the end result, Webkinz fans! It’s just boo-tiful, if I do say so myself! We used some of the pieces my dad already had in there, but then threw in a whole collection of frightening furnishings. Two Creepy Candelabras and a Webkinz Mannequin welcome the costumed ‘Kinz into the room while the Fear-Filled Fireplace casts a creepy glow with its ghastly green flames.  The Ghostly Grand Piano looks eerie beneath the Electric Elven Lamp and the Creature Closet holds a spooky surprise for the ‘Kinz.

A monster’s feast is set up on the table in the corner. The spread includes peeled grapes for eyeballs and spaghetti for brains – we really want to gross them out.

We accessorized with ghastly ornaments like the Spooky Skeleton Sketches, Haunted Painting, Gourd Candelabras and then added some pieces from other themes like the Neo Gothic Fireplace and Grandfather Clock. And we just could not resist the Fortune Telling Pig Statue to let our guests know what awaits them. Who COULD resist a Fortune Telling Pig?

Finally, the whole room centered around one of our favorite pieces, the Elephant Fountain. The stone carving fit perfectly with the rest of our monstrous mansion plus – it’s an elephant! Need I say more?

Of course, we had to make the surroundings to our unearthly abode as frightening as the inside. So check out our backyard:

We’ve created a wild maze of pathways through our yard where the Haunting Breeze Scarecrow, the Posin’ Scarecrow and the Wishing Well Spell lie in wait for unsuspecting ‘Kinz.  The Castle Tower Slide and the Tar Pit Oasis offer fun spots where the kids can play. And we finished it off with some cool fall accessories like the Hay Wagon Chair and the Mining Cart. We also added a couple of creepy lampposts and fires plus two ferocious statues guarding the entrance to our heinous haunted house.
