In talking to homeowners, many found a centerpiece item at places like Lowes, Home Depot or online, while others were inspired by Halloween displays they saw around town. We hope that some of the pictures below give you some ideas.

Projecting ghouls and ghosts is one of the big new trends. People display them on windows, walls, fences and other flat surfaces. There is a website, AtmosFX, that has lots of different visual lighting effects for Halloween and other holidays. They are worth checking out.
