Trying to create the atmosphere of a stone dungeon or castle
for your haunted garage, yard haunt or as a display for a
Halloween party has always been a challenge, primarily in
the construction of walls, so that appear to be made of
stone.
 In
the past, some have used sheets of plywood, painted with light gray paint, then either by
hand or using a spray gun, painstakingly painted in stone detailing with darker
paint to give the impression of individual stones and mortar.
Others have used a similar
procedure on foam-board. First, carving some of the foam out in the shape of stones to add
some three dimensional depth, painting it with a light colored gray paint, then
highlighting the carved areas with a slightly darker paint.
Both of these methods have had
results ranging from fair to realistic. But the main drawback has always been that it is
an arduous, time consuming task and tends to be expensive, particularly when large area's
are to be covered.
 We have finally found
an affordable way to create castle or dungeon like walls for your Halloween haunt.
Graystone Decor-Wrap,
available from the Fright Catalog, is a wallpaper-like product that has been bonded to
corrugated cardboard for added strength. This material is very easy to work with. You just
staple, tack or tape the Decor-Wrap to any wall to create an instant and creepy effect of
stone-like dungeon walls. You can keep it simple or get really elaborate cutting out archways,
windows, doors or just about anything your imagination can come up with.
You could also build a castle and
walls for your yard haunt and cover the entire thing or build a maze using the wrap to add
that special touch to impress your guests.
The nice thing about these rolls is that
unlike regular wallpaper rolls, which are small in length and width, each of these rolls measures 48" x 25'.
They also
come packed in a convenient single shipping carton
that can be used to store the wrap for use again each year.
Retailing for only
$24.99, this wall-covering is a great value and a time
saver for those who want the look of stone walls for their Halloween haunt.
