Halloween Pictures and Mad Scientist Set-up Ideas
pictures by Elke Aspillera(cool ones) and Perla Daly(regular ones)

Table Set-up:
  • Set up a long table and cover it with a white table cloth.
  • Use colorful soda bottles to give color.
  • Fill empty water bottles with colorful jello. Set in fridge. Then on table, place activated glow sticks in arches from bottle to bottle. Get that colorful glowy look.
  • Use body parts from gag store, party store, or halloween store.
  • Make a large jar of green jello and stick gummy worms in it. Label it with big marker ---- "Oooze and worms . Offer some worms to kids when the visit.
  • Make a large glass jar of colorless, flavorless jello and put in eyeballs, fingers, spiders and other critters. Ask kids if they want to stick their fingers in the jar, and if they do, let them. Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!
  • Get a brain jello mold and make it with red jello. Kids' will freak out! And if they are really twisted, they might want to try a scoop. Ewwwwww!

Dress up as a scientist.
  • Use an oversized white shirt
  • a name plate/sticker with a freaky name (mine was dr. scream) and skyler was dr. ooze) other ideas: dr. ewww!, dr. eeeevil., dr. loko, dr. crazy, etc.
  • place pens and pencils in breast pocket
  • tape a neon colored "mad scientist at work"
    sign on your back
For lighting effects use:
  • black lights by white bones & ghosts
  • glow sticks, stick 'em in bottles with
    colored jello...arch them from bottle to bottlle
  • strobe light behind the colorful bottles
Get a lightning ball and a lava lamp
in your lab. Kid's will be fascinated with them. Adults too.

Decorate your lab with kids, ghosts, flying bats, skulls and skeletons,
frankenstein, jack-o-lanterns, and other colorful characters.

Create a Fun Mural Poster
to go with your set-up.
Giant Poster Mural that I made
for my son's elementary school.

I used a projector to blow up the sketch onto the large poster paper. And then I traced with large size markers. Double and even triple line the images. Use squiggle lines to etch the images to give a funky look to the poster.
