Hi everyone,
N00b here! *waves* Also avid Halloween lover! I am posting here requesting help for, what else, decorating!
My SO and I are decorating our porch in the theme this year of a medieval torture chamber.
So far, we have bought a 72" wooden guillotine complete with severed head, a ball'n'chain replica with severed leg, some rats and cockroaches, a noose (which I hope to fit with a realistic skeleton) and a 'caged creature' thingy.
The problem is, we have no clue on how to decorate the railings of the porch. They look incredibly daity with the white lattice, that it would just ruin the whole image of a torture chamber. We went to a Halloween store and noticed they sold white gauze with 'bloody' handprints, some camouflage nets, and some weird gray/green gauze stuff. In either sense, it just didn't seem to work with the whole image.
Here are some photos of the porch for a reference.
Front view
Side view
View of side and door
View from street
We also have fairly "delicate" windows that I would like to have decorated as well, but keeping in theme with medieval torture chamber, I'm not sure which path to take.
Oh, here's a picture of the guillotine, just to brag. =D
