Turn Your RV into a Haunted Habitat

“Bonfires burning bright, pumpkin faces in the night, I remember Halloween!” Halloween only comes around once a year, and the opening lyric from the Misfits’ song of the same name echoes the affectation we all have for the spooky and macabre. While the kids are dressed as ghouls and goblins going house to house for candy, you have your own traditions as an adult. Scary movies, costume parties, and getting the right ingredients for your very own witch’s brew. 

As an RV owner, you already stand apart from the pack. You don’t adhere to the traditions of being still or complacent in one place for any given time. So why should Halloween be any different? While everyone’s going out for a haunted hayride, you have the potential to turn your RV into a harbinger of terror. 

 

“Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here”

While the above quotation is what resides at the gates of Hell in Dante’s ‘The Inferno’, the importance of making your interior come to life with Halloween can’t be better phrased. Black and orange are two colors that can turn any living space into a devil’s den. Streamers and candles will help you get started and a well-placed skull or fake spiders’ web will really make the room come to life with spooky excitement. Some dark tissue paper over the windows will also create a bit more awe from passersby. 

 

Expanding Outside to Terrify

While only a select group might see the inside of your RV, you have a chance to turn heads (and tombstones) alike by turning the exterior of your vehicle into a haunted haven. One of the first steps might be the area surrounding your RV. Some DIY headstones or even a skeleton or tow might turn your parking area into a graveyard, with your RV becoming the mausoleum. While stringing lights will certainly work for a more festive Halloween design, well-placed lights with fog and other implements will create a world of imposing shadows that will creep their way into the imaginations of onlookers.
