SETTING THE STAGE MEDUSA’S LAIR

• If you have been following my Halloween parties, you will know that I like to create an experience for my guests.

• The amazing Marble-Look Balustrade with Columns were the perfect way to set the stage.

• I started by placing them on top of my table, which I layered with the Super-Size Gray Creepy Cloth and Swampy Freaky Camouflage cloths.

SETTING THE STAGE MEDUSA’S LAIR

• The Animated Medusa Bust took center stage on top of a plaster column.

• I added a few Assorted Snakes and a Tropical Fern Leaf Lei.

• We draped creepy cloths and leis on columns and hung up the Hanging Flame Lights, which looked awesome when the sun went down.

SETTING THE STAGEMEDUSA’S LAIR

• We propped up the Gladiator Shield & Sword and displayed two Skull LED Candle sets to give it a creepier look.

• I also spray painted the Laurel Leaf Headband, Roman Wrist Band and Angel Harp Costume Prop a metallic gold and scattered them along the table.

• My son propped the Skull from the Bag of Bones on a candle holder and added the Adult’s Gold Roman Helmet with Black Brush.

SETTING THE STAGE MEDUSA’S LAIR

• If you have seen any of the Clash of the Titans movies, you may remember there was a gold owl in the 80s version. So of course we needed a gold owl!

• I created our very own Poseidon’s Trident, you can see how I did it here.

FOOD OF THE GODS• To carry on the theme, set

up a small table of Greek inspired food and candy for the guests.

• Snakes were everywhere, including on our food table.

• We made fun Snake Centerpieces and you can catch my tutorial here.

THE COSTUMES

• Costumes are a must!

• It is a Halloween party, after all!

• My oldest son dressed up as Calicos and really got into the part.

• Happy haunting!
