- 1). Make the house appear more than 100 years old by creating a photo gallery of antique photos and portraits. Print out or purchase several photos featuring people in Victorian-era dress. Frame the photos by cutting black construction paper one inch larger than photograph. Tape the photos to one wall in a group.
- 2). Create a graveyard indoors on another wall. Round off the edges of gray poster board with scissors to create large tombstones. Write epitaphs on each tombstone using a black permanent marker. Research old poems or create your own rhymes. Include names of guests on some of the tombstones. Line one wall with the tombstones, adhering the poster board to the wall with tape.
- 3). Purchase various hanging wall decorations to decorate one wall. Halloween stores and craft stores carry Halloween-themed paper garlands to drape across walls. To hang a garland, tape the ends of a garland to opposite corners of the ceiling. Replace pictures you usually hang on a wall with purchased images of skeletons, witches and other Halloween classics.
- 4). Achieve a haunted look on every wall with fake cobwebs. Purchase wadding or batting from a local craft supply store, and break the fibers apart with your fingers. Continue stretching the fibers until they are loose enough to resemble cobwebs. Drape the cobwebs over pictures and knickknacks that are regularly displayed in your household. Drape more cobwebs in the corners of the walls, using tape to help the cobwebs maintain its shape and stick to the wall.
- 5). Tape pictures of spiders and bats on the walls. Add plastic spiders in the cobwebs.
- 6). Line your mantel or windowsills with several jack-o-lanterns.
