Halloween is almost here and it’s time to get creative and spooky with your projectors! Every year, Halloween seems to become bigger and more spectacular. That means added pressure to compete everything on time when it comes to decorations and parties. There’s a whole marketplace out there offering expensive ways to bring your house to life (or back to life) for this time of the year, but could owning a projector prove to become your secret weapon?
Projectors have a rich horror movie history themselves, right up to this year’s smash hit movie, “It”, which features a projector in one of its most terrifying scenes. There’s something inherently creepy about the flickering image of an old-school projector. Even the most modern models still have that ability to conjure an atmosphere that a regular television can’t provide.
That makes Halloween a fantastic time to own a projector capable of showing movies and images. Below are some ideas on how you can use yours for some spook-tacular fun:
Projecting images onto your house
You can decorate your house in very elaborate ways for Halloween, but there’s only so many variations out there, so most houses end up looking the same. If you have a large enough space on the side of your house, why not use your projector to light it up with chilling imagery, whether it’s the girl climbing out of the well from The Ring or Michael Myers lurking in someone’s garden. You’ll be the talk of the trick or treaters for sure.
Movie time
Halloween is a time for movies. There’s plenty of scary movies you can watch at this time of year, with ten films in the “Halloween” franchise alone, not to mention all the old Universal classic monster flicks. So why not project them onto your house (this was done to great effect in the new Netflix horror movie “The Babysitter” – despite the fact they were watching a Western instead) or onto a large screen or sheet outside. You can wrap up warm with hot drinks and gather friends and family together for a spooky favorite.
Just for fun
There’s plenty of other fun ways you can use a projector at Halloween, including the use of gaming for kids young and old. There are certainly enough zombie video games out there to ensure that any Halloween party is – literally – a blast. Or there’s more traditional games that can be enhanced with projection or the kind that modern photo filter apps can provide, letting you turn your guests into monsters and projecting their new face on the big screen.
Halloween is a fantastic time to own a projector, but a terrible time for your lamp to give up on you, so make sure you’re prepared with MyProjectorLamps. Our prices won’t scare you!
