No one likes a rotting pumpkin - or a fire hazard! Why don’t you opt for a faux pumpkin and place the portableHue Goinside, setting it to a creepy orange glow. You could even use the Hue Labs Candlelight scene for a more realistic feel. Use the lantern inside too to create that additional spooky feeling during aHalloween movie night!
2. Turn your front garden into a graveyard

Using cardboard and spray paint, why don’t you create a cemetery in your front garden? Place yourLily spot lightsbetween headstones to cast light and shadows, creating a spine-chilling spectacle.
You could also use smart lighting to illuminate your front path, meaning only the bravest trick-or-treaters will dare to approach! Set an ominous tone with theOutdoor Lightstripwhich allows you to use any one of millions of colours (some favourites are orange, purple or green) to creep out your Halloween visitors.
