Halloween Bath Decor Ideas
Getting Creative With Creepy Halloween Toilet Decor
The bathroom is one of the most popular rooms of the house to decorate for Halloween. Its small size makes it the ideal location to create a super spooky atmosphere within.
This room is also usually quite a dark little space when the lights are turned off which makes it very easy to create a dimly lit creepiness within it. Delightful. The other rather amusing reason for setting up a scary Halloween toilet is that family as well as guests generally will have a need to visit that little room. If they stay long enough they absolutely have no choice. Growing up in the country with the old outdoor outhouse I learned pretty early in life how spooky going to the latrine can be and especially if you are making the venture at night. In the country visiting spiders, snakes, and fluttering wings in the dark can scare the pants right off you. Pick a Theme for Your Halloween Decor
Enough of my rambling outhouse memories it is Halloween and we want to create a spooky creepy toilet area decorated specifically for you and your guests. A spooky bathroom can be fun and it definitely has a charm all its own. Begin by selecting your bathroom decor theme:
1) Old country outhouse. 2) Zombie bathroom. 3) Blood Bath 4) Cave atmosphere. 5) Mad scientists laboratory. 6) Pumpkin patch. 7) Dungeon. 8) Witch's lair. 9. Spider, snake, rat, and bat heaven. 10) Grave yard or crypt. 11) Goofy, fun, or comical Halloween atmosphere Got Spiders?
It is the Small Details That Make a Big Difference 
Now back to that bathroom. A great entrance is always the way to entice someone into feeling safe so begin your bathroom decor with just a hint of what is waiting inside Halloween style. There are many door posters or stickers that can be purchased for this purpose or you can do the dastardly deed yourself. Stick with your theme.
Now let's see what kind of Halloween creepiness is crawling out from under your latrine door. Keep the lights low. Place a few strategic props around your bathroom and prepare to scare the heck out of your unsuspecting guests. It is time to get delightfully decorative in a morbid sort of way. Darkness is your friend: Keeping the lights dim, using flameless candles or installing a black light will create a creepy atmosphere and help to hide any flaws in your decoration or display. Add in rats, spiders, and fluttering bats: Sprinkle them throughout the bathroom decor. These creatures are the ideal Halloween night prop. Things that hang from the ceiling are a must. Spider webs, spiders, and bats. You can even pop a crow or two up there for added effect. There is nothing spookier in a dark room than something that is touching you when you don't know what it is. Don't like spiders - how about snakes? Imagine the feeling your guests will have when they walk into your darkened bathroom to discover snakes slithering over the top of your toilet. Are they real or maybe not? When you are headed upward there is only one place to go and that is out the old latrine. I know for a fact that snakes have found their way up the old sewer pipes so the concept is certainly real enough. The mere thought gives me the shivers.
