Nothing is spookier than an unexpected scare, like a skull concealed amongst an innocent goat display…

… or even a bowl filled with eyeballs in the midst of everyday décor.

Playing lighting is a superb way to up the scare factor of your home. Replace your room’s usual lighting with a small bulb positioned within a faux skull head. Switch off all lights besides this and observe the room fill with the creepiest of shadows.
