Take your Halloween decorating up a few notches this year and Turn your RV into a Haunted House for some spooktacular fun! It’s really quite simple and there are zero things to store for next year, since you will do all or most of your shopping at dollar or thrift stores. Think of fun places to park your RV if you aren’t planning to be at a particularly festive campground. There are lots of places, such as “Trunk or Treats” or Block Parties that would love to host a mobile Haunted House for the night or weekend of Halloween. Once you figure out where you are going to spook some trick-or-treaters, you can slide right into your decorating projects.
There are lots of options for how to turn your RV into a Haunted House! One option is to transform your RV into a mummified monstrosity! Purchase A LOT of toilet paper (perhaps Costco would offer the best price or try your local Dollar Store). Then wrap your whole RV with it, turning it into a Haunted Mummified RV! Or if you’d rather, get some dark construction paper to black out windows (or use blankets, sheets, or yards of dark fabric from the thrift store) and then decorate the outside of the RV with lights, cobwebs, and streamers.
Then buy some big, thick sheets of brown, gray or black construction paper and make some “tombstones” for your “cemetery,” for just outside the front door of the RV. If you use black or dark brown “tombstones,” you can use white chalk for writing on the tombstones. There are lots of other cheap decor you can purchase at the dollar store, that will help with making your cemetery super creepy. Some fun ideas include bags of fake cobwebs, bags of spiders and other creepy crawlers, skull lights (see picture above), some plastic skeletons and fake blood to splatter around for effect.
You’ll also want to get some fake body parts and strategically place them around your campsite/graveyard with some red jello splattered around for effect. Then get a fun mask or scary Halloween costume to finish off the creepy effect and to spook the Trick-or-Treaters brave enough to visit your Haunted House (RV)!
Once you are ready for your big debut, turn on some Monster Mash or other music with some “scary” sounds to haunt vampires, witches, and goblins who dare come by for some candy (or fake eyeballs). Have a Happy Haunted Halloween!!!
