Ghost in the Mirror:
Ghosts + Halloween + mirrors and you have you perfect theme for the event. Make sure to do it right however, mistakes are easy to make with mirrors and ghosts. There are a couple of ways of doing this one, first one involves a projector creating a ghost image right in the mirror and the other one involves a large picture or portrait of a ghost placed right at the back side of a semitransparent mirror. Both these implementations have the ability to create a spooky ghostly figure right in the center of your large mirror on the wall and provide just the Halloween feel for everyone who passes by it. With the projector option, you always have the luxury of spooking everyone when you want especially when they are standing in front of the mirror. Just make sure to not overdo this spooky practice with the faint hearted because it does have the capacity to cause some unnecessary problems. When looking to spook your Halloween with these wall mirror ideas, this one serves as one of the spookiest.
The Enchanted Mirror:
If you have a large back garden or a left alone forest of sorts, a great idea to bring the Halloween feel even in that area of the house is to install an enchanted mirror on one of the oldest trees. The mirror has to look the part as well and in this scenario older the better. Don’t worry about the quality of the mirror and the reflections it casts, just tell the children and your visitors that it is an enchanted mirror and make it work for your Halloween even in the out stretches of the house. The frame design of the mirror matters a lot for this implementation, make sure to get a really old even broken bits frame and as people to look in it if they dare. Of course it will not make them disappear or turn them into frogs if someone does dare to look in it but the spooky hype this will create will be worth the effort.
Gothic Mirror:
Got an old Celtic gothic mirror lying around in the store, you can find one on eBay as well and decorate it further in the Halloween theme by placing large stand candles on its side on a fireplace shelf. Make sure to get a dark dull colored frame for the mirror or even faded color if possible to get it more in the Halloween feel and match the color of the candle stands and their design theme with that of the mirror frame as well to get it more in them as well. The whole wall with this implementation will look in the Halloween theme and will provide the spooky chilly feel for anyone who stands in front of the mirror at any time of the day or night. Make sure to dim the lights in the room for the added effect.
Skull Scary Mirror :
Talk to anyone about things that spook or scare them and chances of skulls making their list are great. Skulls just appear scary and spooky and if a real human skull is too much for you, the option of getting an artificial one is always there. You should always get an artificial one in the first place because real ones are just not ethical. Once you have gotten your hands on a skull of your preference, attach it on the corner of the wall and try to make it look as if the rest of the skeleton is inside the mirror and is trying to crawl out of the mirror to haunt people near it. Spooky right!
Huge Wicked Queen Mirror:
We have all heard the tale of ‘Snow White’ and it has a wicked queen who possesses a huge mirror that she uses to get rid of all the beautiful women in the world. The rest of the tale is just for the movies and the novels, however we can use that mirror idea in our Halloween decorations. A huge gold colored mirror just like the one used in the Snow White blockbuster movie is a great idea and can work exceptionally well for the Halloween decorations. Try placing one where it can’t be missed by anyone and attach it with a big rotatable stand to get the full effect. When looking to spook your Halloween with these wall mirror ideas, this wicked queen one especially when placed in front of or just below a portrait of the wicked queen herself is a special one.
Is It a Mirror or a Pumpkin?
Large pumpkins are the most Halloween associated objects out of all the ones used during the event. Eyes and mouth along with scary teeth carved into pumpkins just have that scary and spooky appeal that almost every other object or idea fails to match. This pumpkin special can also be incorporated with wall hung mirrors. You need paint and brushes for this idea to be implemented and good drawing skills as well. What you can do is to draw an extra-large pumpkin around the mirror with the whole size of the mirror incorporated inside the mouth of the pumpkin. Kids will love this idea of looking at themselves inside the mouth of a pumpkin and it will provide all the necessary spooks for this Halloween as well.
