How to Transform Your Garage into a Spookadelic Haunted House

Turning your garage into a haunted house takes less than a week and can make Halloween into an amazing affair. Using some simple and easy to find products you can make your house the talk of the town.

You will need:

-One large roll of black plastic sheeting from Lowe's or other hardware store-

Now, this stuff comes in thin, medium and heavy duty, we use medium because the thin breaks too fast and the heavy is just too heavy for our walls. Also because heavy duty is more expensive we save some money.

-One large bulk pack of 4-6 rolls of duct tape

-1 Roll clothes line or other thick string

-1 stick white chalk or glow in the dark chalk (white works just as good in black light)

-10 Yards cheap thin cloth (optional)

-Cheap lamps- heating lamps-drop lights any sort of light will work.

-Black light bulbs

-Homemade and store bought Halloween decorations of any type.

The first thing you must to do get started is move everything to the wall. You don't have to remove the items from your garage, you just have to move them along the wall about 3 foot deep.

Our garage is clutter central so this is the hardest part for our family.

If you just can't get your clutter under control this can also be done in a corner of your home using some wood beams stapled to the black plastic sheeting and made into temporary walls.

Once the clutter is shoved to the corners and walls lay out your floor plan.

We chose a four room plan drawn up on a piece of paper. Using the garage door itself as the frame for the segments.

Put garage door down and work with it while it's easy to reach.

The garage door makes the main wall in front of haunted house and the walls to separate the garage in half.

See diagram to get a better idea of how this works.

The best way to place sheets is to do it while the door is closed, otherwise your arms will get very tired of reaching upward to tape.
Keeping the plastic on the inside portion of the door also enables your home to be closed up to prevent vandalism of your hard work.

The bottom nearest to the floor is the front facing part of your haunted house.
