A haunted doorway or a raven against a pale sky can set the tone for a Halloween story. This selection favours gothic buildings, graveyards and nocturnal scenes, with darker settings than the playful trail collection. Use the artwork as part of a prop or story card, then let the linked page supply a sound, a passage of text or the next scene. Give guests a clear scan prompt rather than hiding the only instruction inside the decoration. Keep essential directions visible in print. Before the event, check the finished prop with several phones under the intended lighting, especially when smoke, coloured lights or reflective materials surround it.
