The Haunted House of Shadows

September 22, 2024 | By Jenna Sue Seasonal, Heights House

The time has come once again, ghouls and boys, for the return of the Haunted Heights House…

This year there’s been a ghostly invasion, with spooky spirits lurking around every corner. Welcome to the Haunted House of Shadows…

We’ve had bats, cats and spooky-chic décor before, but this year rises above the rest.

These ghost shadow casters might be my best a-ha moment to date—a huge impact for such little effort and cost.

I spent a long time experimenting to find the best and simplest method for creating these ghost window silhouettes. It’s a fun and low cost DIY that the whole family can participate in!

Minimal effort, maximum effect. That’s my kinda Halloween decor.

No it’s not AI generated—I got myself a real fog machine for this shoot. Zero regrets!

    My jaw dropped at the price of the fog machine. Looks like I’ll have to get a cheaper one for now. Hopefully I can upgrade one day in the future. Thank you for all the inspiration!

      Definitely a splurge! The reviews for the cheaper Amazon models I was looking at weren’t great and I wanted something that will last for a long time. I hope you’re able to find a good one!

    I was inspired by this and started my ghost
    Project today!! Just need to figure out the correct outdoor light to put. I got an LED one and it’s too blurry.

      You need a specific light! Working on that blog post now.

        Looking for the link to the light and a tutorial. Bought the expensive fog machine with a heart full of hope! 😅
