Halloween Decoration – Window projection effects

Make your house seem like a real haunted house by projecting scary visuals at your window, hall, front yard, or even something on the front of your house. By using a projector, you can bring your Halloween celebrations to the next level. If you do things right, you might even make the most cynical person believe in ghosts.

Vancouver Projector Rental has a few ideas on how to setup some cool visual effects for your party, movie or game night and make your Halloween unique.

How to create a scary projection in your window.

You only will need 3 things to bring this idea to life: a projector, screen, and video. If you want to take it up a notch and make it more realistic you should also consider having a speaker and shock unsuspecting guests with real audio.

After renting a projector, you can then setup a rear projection in your window so that people from the outside of your house will see how scary and fun it is inside your haunted house. We know renting a rear projection screen is expensive and also complicated to set up, so we can help you with everything.

How to choose the projector

Based on the quality of the image that you want, you will have to pick from 4 great options when renting a  projector:

General use projector: this is our basic projector and we recommend using it in cases where your video or visuals don’t require a high definition image. High definition would be more useful if you are projecting a blurry ghost, shadows, or freaky smoke.

720p Projector: (also known as a business projector), if you have already rented a projector with us before, you know that we highly recommend going for at least this projector when you are presenting a video or images. You will have HD video, great for fx or regular videos, movies. In the case of Halloween, this projector will also help with making your visuals look a lot more realistic.

1080p Projector: If you read till here then you are bringing your haunted house idea closer to reality. This projector is not only great but will also give one of the best quality images for fx videos that you can have. With 1080p or Full HD resolution, this projector will not only adjust the size of the video but it will give you all pixels that you need to show all the detail as well. Check our Short Throw and High Lumen Projector (both are 1080p too)

4K Projector: At this point, you are very likely to be someone who takes Halloween celebrations extremely seriously. The resolution of this projector is just perfect, crisp, and shows off tons of details. A 4K projector will keep every single one of your guests captivated but scared for their lives. Little details such as creepy crawly spiders and the hairs on bats will show. How does that sound for realistic fx visuals?

If you have a 4K video that you would like to project, then the 4K Projector will be the best of the best in terms of overall fit.

How to set a cheap rear projection screen – DIY

You really don’t need to spend a lot of money buying or renting a professional rear projection screen. Anything that can hold the image is great, such as a matte bath curtain, any matte plastic surfaces. For front projection, you can use a white fabric, sheet or blanket any light surface like a wall, wood, and other flat surfaces. Just as an example that you can see from the pictures we created, In one of our meeting rooms we used a matte bath curtain, attached to the wall and set a rear projection (using a High Lumen Projector) you can check the effect in the videos. We kept the lights on in the pictures and one of the videos so you can better see how everything work together, the other video we turned off the light where you can start to have a better effect. When you play it during the night with all the lights off it will be incredible!!!!

Where can I find a scary video for Halloween?

Since you already know which projector you will use and how to set up the screen, you just need your scary video to bring this Halloween idea to live. There are free videos such as this skull available across the web that you can use for your window projection. You can start looking for other projection ideas on Youtube, Vimeo or stock video sites like Adobe Stock, Pexel videos, and/or Istock.

Should I rent Speakers for Halloween?

Renting a speaker is a great idea if your video has audio. Why? Have you ever been interested in watching a movie without audio? No audio means your visuals are at risk of being boring, which is the opposite of what you want on Halloween., Using a great speaker will make everyone feel the reality and enjoy all the effects that you are providing. You also can use them for your party, listen to some music, or for watching a movie as your evening winds down. You can check our speakers on this audio rental page.

Projecting a monster – how to create a real monster – DIY

Isn’t the idea amazing? Having your own monster in your house would be great for Halloween (and Halloween only). If you want this idea to work, then you have to try your best to make it look real.

If you have an image of a ghost, zombie, or any monster, then you basically will need to project it onto a surface that mimics a human’s shape.

In our case, we are using a speaker with a tripod on it. We then covered it with a green sheet (we didn’t have a white one, you will need to use white), tied the sheet at the back so it’s secured, and after that, you only need to place the projector in front of it have fun!

Halloween game night with a projector and friends

If you are a game lover then you won’t skip this idea. Gather up your friends, pick a few horror games, rent a projector and screen and have fun (if you have Xbox One or PlayStation 4 you might have to consider renting a 4K Projector)!

Playing Resident Evil, Dead by Daylight, Silent Hill, Outlast or any other horror game with a projector and screen will get you and your friends completely immersed into the celebration of Halloween. You will have an unforgettable night.
