Creepy Cloth
 Used
in commercial haunted attractions for years,
distressed, tattered, torn and shredded looking cloth
gives the visual impression of the area being
deserted and dilapidated, and can look very creepy
if used correctly.
This product
is now sold in most
department stores as a
Halloween decoration. There are several brand names for this
type of material including Freaky Fabric, Spooky Cloth
and Creepy Cloth.
The material used for this
cloth is
typically a thin, gauze-like fabric that is made to look old
out of the package. Colors available are off white,
black and green. You can easily cut or tear it
to create the look you want.
Most are flame retardant,
but be sure to check the package before purchasing to
confirm that it is.
Perfect for that haunted house look, you can hang
or drape it over many places and things to give that
spooky look, such as:
Hang it
over your windows
Hang it over doorways
In the corners of the room
Hang it from or on the ceiling
Drape it over your furniture
Attach small pieces to tombstones
To attach simply use thumb tacks, but try to
find tacks with heads that match the color of the cloth so
they will blend in.
Burlap Cloth
 Burlap
is a course textured and very tough fabric most often used
in making heavy duty bags and sacks for shipping dry goods
and for making sand bags.
While not quite
as easy to work with as Creepy Cloth above, it has many uses
for Halloween decorations and props. If used as part of a
costume you don't want it directly on the skin because of
its very rough texture, making it uncomfortable to wear.
Burlap cloth can
usually be found in fabric stores and is now available in
several different muted colors including black, tan, brown,
green, gray and off white.
Some of the
uses for burlap include:
Tattered
clothing for Halloween Scarecrows
The head of a Halloween Scarecrow
As a base material for tabletop decorations
Shredded it makes creepy looking window curtains
As part of a Halloween costume or mask
