• You can use dull looking fake plants and place them in your garden. This will give a feeling that the house is old and perhaps haunted.
• Use old cloth to create interesting scary looking curtains. You need not necessarily remove your regular curtains; you can always place the cloth over them.
• You can also use props like hay and twigs placed all over the edges and corners of your rooftop so the house looks haunted.
• If you have a window just below your rooftop that can be used just to create a mark or a scary looking sign. In case, you do not have a window, you can place a wall hanging and wall scene with a scary symbol.

Haunted House is not easy to create but it can be a lot of fun if you have most of the elements in place.
