These dry ice Halloween ideas will help you make the season even spookier.

When it comes into contact with a liquidor at room temperatureit sublimates or melts immediately into gas.

Be sure to take safety precautions whenever handling dry ice.

A heavy-duty plastic or styrofoam container is best, but avoid tightly covering it.

It will gradually sublimate and disappear on its own.

Smoky Punch

To safely add a smoky effect to your punch, use two bowls.

Put the Halloween punch in the smaller bowl, then nestle that into a larger punch bowl or cauldron.

Dry ice is not edible, and it can cause serious internal injuries if it’s ingested.

Do not put dry ice right into your Halloween punch.

Then, set hand-holding witches with glowing orb heads around the cauldronand place the dish inside.

Before you know it, it will be billowing with fog for an extra spooky Halloween lawn decor.

The larger the holes you carve, the more dramatic the effect.

When you’re ready, place the dish inside the pumpkin and put some dry ice on it.

Pour water over the ice and watch the smoke billow out through your carvings.

(you’re able to also purchase aninflatable ghostat most Halloween stores!)

For example, you might place a dish at the base of the wireframe.

you’ve got the option to use a skull or giant spider, for example.

Creepy Cobwebs

A staple of Halloween decor: spiderwebs.

But don’t just hang up plain spiderwebs.

Make them extra eerie by filling them with fog.

Even better: Make the zombie sit up or move amid the mist.

you’re free to do this in two ways: a door-activated setup or a motion-sensor setup.

This way, when you fire up the door for trick-or-treaters, the zombie sits up and startles them.
