The "Morphing Spooky Black Tree" made for a really spooky addition to our Halloween festivities! This five foot tall metal and plastic Halloween tree is covered with orange and purple bulbs.

The upper reaches of the branches mysteriously change from black to create an illuminating effect! Since the branches are bendable to some extent, you can easily re-shape this Halloween decoration to fit close to the wall if you are short on space.

For ornaments we chose to use an assortment of small Halloween decorations such as plastic spiders, rats, bats, skulls, etc. An artificial crow looks great perched on one of the limbs.

For the base we cut out a two and a half foot in diameter circle of black felt to act as the skirt. On top of the tree skirt we made a blanket of Spanish moss, available at most craft stores.

Finally, for the final effect, we arraigned the contents of a "Bag Of Bones" around the base of the tree. The pack includes a collection of twenty-eight pieces of assorted foam bones and skull.

As a final effect, we placed a Mister Kool low-laying fog machine behind the base of the tree to create a very eerie special effect.
