Along with glowing jack-o-lanterns, dusty cobwebs and chilling music, window and wall cling decorations have become quite popular for dressing up your house on Halloween. Some are cute with cartoon-like depictions; others are chilling with scary skulls. No matter what your Halloween theme is, a perfect window and wall cling is looming to add to your haunted motif.
The Glass Graber Creatures are sure to get a scream from any guest. Great for decorating the bathroom mirror for a frightening surprise; especially, when your friends go to check their makeup. Imagine their horror when they meet dark hollow eyes and a wicked grin looking back at them. They are non-adhesive, and can be used again and again.
Speaking of the bathroom, why not purchase the Bloody Shower Curtain
to go with the icy motif? Remind your guests of the ever popular Alfred Hitchcock scene with this bloody mess. It is a white vinyl shower curtain with blood-stained hand prints.
You are sure to get a scare from scenes of old with the changing portrait collection. Haunted Memories depict stoic and reserved photos of people like Spooking Uncle Bernie Changing Portrait. A common old time Victorian photo, sepia with Uncle Bernie in his best threads; however, walk past it, and he becomes a charred and burning skeleton. Hologram technology is great! Another favorite in the Haunted Memories collection is Spooky Little Ruthie. She is a cute little girl with round cheeks and ringlets, but walk past the little darling, and experience her possessed gaze. It is a sure way to send chills up your spine!
Spooky fun for your front windows clings like the Werewolf Window Poster, Grim Reaper Double Window Poster and Fenny the Witch Window Poster, are spooky welcomes for all of your guests and trick-or-treaters. You can trim them to fit your windows, and use a common lamp behind the poster to make them come to life with an eerie and haunting glow.
Dress up your door with gory details with the Bloody Hands Keep Out Door Frame Fabric. The Maniac Door Gore Decoration is another scary way to welcome your guests. A manic mummy is depicted with outreached bandaged hands, just waiting to invite all of his victims inside.
Set the scene with 80’s classics with Jason Voorhees with the 2 pack Jason Wall Scene Setter to take your guests back to swampy Camp Crystal Lake. It is perfect for any wall in your home. Also an 80’s classic, to haunt your dreams, is the Freddy Mirror Decal. Right out of the boiler room, the charred horror will be waiting to frighten anyone who enters your home. Really, how can we forget these 80’s classics? You will be shaking in your leggings and shoulder-pads.

Go for the Gore: Fake Body Parts and Other Halloween Decorations that Really Set the Mood
If you want to create a truly scary Halloween atmosphere for a Halloween party or for Trick of Treating using fake body parts is a great way to do it.
People are always thrown off balance by the appearance of a bloody limb, a random eyeball, or a skeleton hanging menacingly in a corner. The trick to making your event truly scary and not just a random collection of fake looking body parts is how you use them. Here are some tips for using fake body parts to scare the costumes off your guests at your Halloween party:
Don’t overdo it – If you pile a bunch of fake parts on top of each other, or use too many props then your scary party will look like a backstage party at a production of Sweeney Todd. It won’t be scary, it will be laughable. Halloween decorations have come a long way over the years and these days it takes a lot more than it did in the past to scare people. Using fake body parts and fake blood subtlety is the best way to really scare people. A few realistic fake body parts combined with the right staging will be terrifying to your guests and will make your Halloween party the most talked about party for the rest of the year.
Avoid cliches – Sausage intestines and fake plastic fingers are too cliche these days. Instead of falling back on those old tricks use fake arms, plastic skulls, hearts, and other body parts made in today’s high tech plastics and other materials that will feel realistic. A good paint job and some fake blood will make a dismembered foot sticking out of a bloody shoe or a fake arm hanging from a meat hook in the ceiling truly scary. A candy dish or chip bowl made 
from a plastic skull is always a crowd pleaser, but you can also make a Jello heart from a plastic mold that looks frighteningly real and will even jiggle and move like a real organ and place that on the snack table to scare everyone. You can also buy brain molds to make realistic looking, edible brains. Eyeballs in the food are also a Halloween favorite.
Get creative – The best horror movies are scary because they creatively use death and gore to scare people. Instead of just dumping random plastic body parts around your home really make an effort to set a scene to provide the most dramatic effect. A fake torso hanging from a hook in the ceiling or a head suspended from a chain in the wall isn’t necessarily scary. But combine those fake body parts with a little fog, a colored strobe light positioned right on the body part, and Black light instead of traditional light and the effect is terrifying. Recreate a scene from your favorite horror movie or create your own horror movie set by setting up each room as a different scene. Your guests will be terrified, but they will love it.
The Saw franchise started with a low budget indie horror flick, Saw, in 2004. At the time the horror market was glutted and no one really expected this low budget film by unknown writers and directors to do very well. Even the creators of the film didn’t have high expectations for it. However, the Saw movies have gone on to become some of the most lucrative horror movies in history. The most recent incarnation, Saw V, in particular, was the highest box office grossing horror movie of all time. Even people who aren’t die hard horror fans were blown away by the Saw films. Saw VI is scheduled to be released just before Halloween in 2009.
One of the reasons why the Saw films appeal to such a wide audience is the basic premise of the film which is that people should be tested in order to appreciate their lives. The ones who fail to appreciate their lives lose them, in torturous and horrific ways usually. The psychological aspect of the premise behind the movies is engaging and draws in fans of many other types of genres of movies. Instead of just being another slasher film the first Saw movie was darkly thrilling and kept audiences guessing until the very end about the identity of the killer. In the first film audiences knew very little about the killer, nicknamed Jigsaw, but in future films more about Jigsaw’s past was revealed.

Jigsaw is a man who was happily married until his wife lost their child. The death of the child caused a rift in the marriage which caused them to divorce. After the divorce Jigsaw was diagnosed with inoperable cancer. Left with a lot of anger and bitterness about the fact that is life was waning while so many people wasted their lives doing bad things, stupid things, or nothing at all he decided to commit suicide. The suicide attempt failed, and he lived. After that he became obsessed with testing people who he felt were not taking full advantage of their lives, with the 
ultimate goal of either forcing them to change or killing them.
He began designing elaborate psychological and physical traps for people he felt were squandering their lives, starting in the first movie with the doctor who diagnosed his cancer. The traps were designed to not only cause great physical pain but to also cause great psychological pain and to break people down into a survival state of mind. Those were able to survive were supposed to be more grateful for their lives. Those who didn’t survive were considered weak and better off dead.
The Saw franchise was the first horror series in many years that brought an entirely new storyline to the genre. In a time when old horror plots were being remade and recycled the original Saw movie was fresh, fascinating, and managed to play upon audiences’ deepest psychological fears as well as their physical fears. The Saw franchise will go down in history as one of the most innovative and deeply disturbing horror franchises of all time.
