Lighting is very important to the overall look of your Halloween scene. Whether you are going for eerie and gloomy or a more childlike festive look, it all begins with lighting. Lights can be strung on the porch, staked in the ground, or hung in the bushes. I’m a sucker for the unusual as you can tell by my recommendations.

Projectors
With so many to choose from, and half of them looking exactly the same, it’s hard to know which projector to go with. Some of them look very chintzy. Some are outrageously expensive. On top of that, there are also so many unfamiliar companies making them ( I’m sure most of them are reputable companies ), for electronics, I prefer a company I’m familiar with. That’s why I like the Kodak Ultra Mini Portable Projector.

For best results hang a translucent nylon screen inside your window or door. I use a shower curtain I got at the dollar store, it works great. I just taped it up with transparent tape. Try to use a room you can make completely dark, and one that doesn’t get much light from outside. Then place your projector on a level surface, make sure the projector sits flat, not tilted. And you’re set.
