Glow in the dark Halloween decorations take your halloween aesthetic up to next level. If you’re looking for a show-stopping way to haunt your yard this Halloween, let me tell you about the Skeleton Glow Party we pulled off! Picture this: a bunch of poseable skeletons in various sizes, painted with glow-in-the-dark paint, dancing like they’re at a rave. Our front yard turned into a spooky music festival complete with a DJ skeleton spinning tracks behind a deck lit with LED, black lights, and lasers. It was a total Halloween glow-up!
Glow in the Dark Halloween Decorations- Skeleton Dance Festival
Here’s how you can recreate the magic:
Step 1: Glow in the Dark Skeletons
Start by grabbing some poseable skeletons in different sizes. The more, the better! We picked up ours from a Halloween store, but you can easily find them online. Paint them in glow-in-the-dark paint (we went with a mix of neon greens, purples, and blues). The trick is to use a few layers to make sure they really pop under black lights.
Pose them like they’re dancing – arms up, heads tilted, and hips shaking. You can even place one mid-handstand or have a duo jamming, busting out of the wall or hanging off the porch. Creativity is key!
Step 2: DJ Skelly
The star of our party is our DJ skeleton. We set him up behind a DIY turntable using an old table, some plastic records, and a few LED lights. His bony fingers are posed like he’s mixing the hottest (or should I say coldest?) undead tracks. Surround him with black lights and laser lights to give that festival vibe. We even added a fog machine for that ultimate nightclub effect!
Step 3: Add Black Lights & Lasers
Black lights are a must for this setup – they make the glow-in-the-dark paint shine like nothing else. Place them strategically around your yard, aiming at your skeletons for a maximum glow effect. Add a few LED lights in purple and green to highlight your scene, and don’t forget a couple of laser lights to really give that rave energy. The lasers bounce off the skeletons, making the whole yard come alive!
Step 4: Soundtrack to the Afterlife
What’s a party without music? You can set the mood with a spooky Halloween playlist or even some EDM (undead dance music, anyone?) to keep the vibe high. We added a Bluetooth speaker behind the DJ skeleton and had eerie beats playing all night. It really made it feel like the skeletons were throwing down at a festival. Check out this Spotify Halloween Dance Party playlist with remixes of classics with EDM and club tracks.
Step 5: Extras to Amp It Up
Want to take it to the next level? Add glow-in-the-dark accessories like glow sticks, neon spider webs, and glowing jack-o’-lanterns. We even hung up some glow-in-the-dark bats to give it a little extra pop. Skeleton props with light-up eyes also give a haunting touch to any glow party.
