I've never used those before. Where did you get them?

OMG...you can get them anywhere...Wal-Mart has them. Party City- that is an awesome place for Halloween.

Most Catalogs have them...Oriental Trading company does...and they are cheap...like maybe $4 for smaller ones and $15 for huge ones, and they are so cool...My house is wood...so I can thumb tack them right to the house, and I tape them on my fence.

That's a great idea. I would put them on my fence but I know the bratty little neighborhood kids would steal them!

I've used them before, they are a cheap and very easy way to add to the decor. And reusable, if treated nicely. They are a great way to turn a room into something else like a dungeon or castle...you literally put it up like wallpaper...works great!

The past couple of years I have used scene setters.. I save them from year to year of course and in my bathroom I have a giant spider breaking out of the wall and another one on my bathroom door that looks like there are hundreds of spiders swarming it. I have a coffin and skeleton setting in my dining area, bats flying on my ceiling and a pumpkin patch in my front room. I find they really add to a room as long as you put them on neatly and securly. I really like how they are very realistic looking and in good detail. I having put those up yet but soon...

I bought a bunch of scene setters this year, and am wondering if there's a way to get rid of the creases they have from being folded. They've been up a couple days and I was hoping that they would smooth themselves out, but no such luck. Any ideas?

Love them!
As for the creases, I would try putting them on a flat piece of cardboard under the mattress.
Happy hauntings!

Scene setters

I used a blow dryer and got some of the creases out. Tsakes a while though. I have a hard time keeping them stuck to walls. Any suggestions?
I am getting excited!!! It's getting close!

To stick them to the walls we used push pins. After they were all in place, my husband walked around with a spray paint can and painted them black. Can't notice them at all now. We had tried tape and that sticky putty stuff, but they kept falling down - the push pins have been lifesavers... eh, scene savers.

Yeah I plan on using them this year for my graveyard theme. I'll probably end up using duct tape to put them up inside.

Whoohoo for push pins. I have a tackle box full of clear ones and they are amazing. That's what I use to hang up most of my decor and it looks great. Especially stuff I hang from the ceiling with white thread to make it look like it's floating.

I will use push pins. I hate making holes in walls, but I guess I will. I used duck tape last year and you could see it behind the plastic and when I took them down it took paint with it and left sticky stuff. I have this poster stuff for walls maybe I'll try first.
