What would make a better Halloween backdrop than your own graveyard scene? You can create a graveyard that even Gomez Addams and Uncle Fester would be proud of using items readily available this Halloween. To achieve the look, you'll want to find first class gravestones and we know just where to find the best on the internet!

Karnival Costumes has just added a selection of high-quality, realistic looking gravestones to its Halloween Collection. These are very realistic and range in size from mini gravestones at less than foot and used primarily to decorate buffet tables and party areas, to the very realistic being between two and three feet tall.

These gravestones are cast using foam that is coated to be very realistic with the appearance of age all adding to the atmosphere of your graveyard. Adding small amounts of earth around your gravestones works well as does piling small amounts of either real or artificial leaves and other wind blown materials. You don't need to add a huge amount, just enough to make it look like they've been in place for a time. Karnival Costumes has gravestones ranging in price from £1.99 to £12.00.

Creating your own Halloween graveyard - part 2 Tilt some of the gravestones at angles to add to the appearance that the graveyard has been there centuries and you could some face down to make it look like they have fallen over…..again using leaves and small amounts of earth to blend them in with the surrounding area works best. One of the newest products out is simulated moss which can be glued to the stones to really give the aged look.

Some of the best graveyard scenes are created in areas where there are a few trees which can be used to hang the odd length of cloth streamer from to catch in any breeze - these look best when they drift into any light occasionally rather than are permanently lit.

For even more atmosphere you can add a small picket fence line onto which you can attach fake barbed wire. This can also be used to imply a broken down fence line from taller 'off-vertical' fence posts draped to the ground. Halloween prop barbed wire is available in long lengths of plain wire or in shorter lengths but including skull heads. Plain is best for outdoor decoration with the decorated barbed wire providing great decoration possibilities around the buffet table or elsewhere in the party decorations.
