I suggest the following for a great halloween house, which we all do:

1.We become a family of monsters.

2.We do most of the makeup using anything we can find.

3.I set up two or three stereos or boomboxes. Put scary music on one, and get a cd or tape that plays horror or torture sounds or scary laughing. TURN THEM WAY UP.

4.The whole house is lit ONLY by candles - everywhere.

5.Put up a huge (lifesize) cardboard CryptKeeper which you can buy on line. Set it up so that it blocks the rest of the house - that way you can concentrate on making your entranceway scary and not worry about the rest.

6.Put blinking lights (strobe) outside, or lots of pumpkins with candles in them.

7.Hang spiderwebs all around the doorways. There are also scary things that work with a blacklight.
You can get all this stuff at walmart or anywhere except the crypt keeper. it’s cheap, easy and fun! Get the bowl with the hand that moves when someone tries to get candy!
