BUILDING TIPS: STEP 7

BUILDING PROPS FOR YOUR HAUNT

DIY Fog Machines / Smoke Machines

Fog or smoke machines are a great method of creating a spooky atmosphere in a haunted house. They also help as an aid to limit your guests' vision if you have a surprise waiting for them inside of (or on the other side of) the fog. You can also create great lighting effects by aiming lights through fog. You can purchase cheap fog machines from a fly-by-night Halloween store, OR, you can make your own. Here's how to create your own DIY (do-it-yourself) fog/smoke machine >>
