Halloween Digital Projections

How would you feel if a ghost suddenly appeared in their backyard on Halloween? Atmos FX has created some of the coolest digital projections, which could be used to create a spooky and scary atmosphere this Halloween. There is a wide range of digital projections, including moving skeletons, screaming children, ghosts, and even talking pumpkins. One of these is called “Bone Chillers,” which has become a rollicking Halloween-themed decoration with a little bit of everything, from music and dancing to slapstick routines, plus a few good old fashions scares.

“If you want to upgrade your front yard cemetery into something truly legendary, consider a Hollusion Mode projection of Bone Chillers. Simply hang some Hollusion Projection Material in your yard and train your projector onto it. Suppose you can hang your material at a height so it barely touches the ground. In that case, it will appear that the skeletons have just dug themselves out of the graves and are thoroughly enjoying your front-yard graveyard. And if the skeletons are enjoying it, you know your friends and neighbors will, too,” the Atmos FX notes.
